Almost hate to say it but I like what they have done to this Plymouth Suburban, including the colour, the blacked out rear trim that seems to make the roof look cantilevered (reminding me of the Pioneer) and the side fender exhaust exits.
But I have question about the "57" Desoto (photo under the wagon).
Why does a 57 have four headlights? Because it was an export or ??

The original importer of the 57 Desoto modified the single headlights to duals when he bought it in a few years ago because he preferred the dual h/l look.
Now up for sale since the current owner sadly passed away recently.

it was fairly common for '57 models to have factory equipment ready for quad headlights...
the federal regulation was the holdup but factories had them ready to install if the regulation passed in time for the car to hit the car lots...
