Location: Lower Mainland BC | Even if they are the wrong air cleaners, I like them better than the proper 57 D500 side-saddle air cleaners.

Location: Alberta | Let's cut it this One up for scrap……….okay it is what is and until you actually own it you can't perfect it.Convertibles are and always will be the most desirable so that's a start, as they say in that crowd "When The Top Goes Down The Price Goes Up" If I may suggest negotiate the price and buy it and shows us your pride and joy because pride of ownership is always an individual thing of which the deal shopper has the price of everything and knows the value of nothing and most often walks away empty handed……………Then again for $45,000………….maybe he should answer his phone when rings,I'll rest assured that it's not overheated.The glory days of the Fin cars and their other competitive classics, the owners have enjoyed the markets.I'll say this again The new younger buyers are into the trucks and the imports. Hemmings latest reports are that all car museums are currently pressured to meet the bottom line this year so the buyer can sit back and watch the prices and maybe able to pick up a deal as they are selling off some pieces even at that I dare say Barrett Jackson……ya right. They'll dream up some charity promotion some how so the boys can flash cash for the show Sponsorship is a great thing.

| yeah your right, that's a 392... so its not really a d500. no one said this car is crap Rust... its still a nice car. Someone's done some work on this coronet.
Younger buyers mature and these cars are rare and collectable. They aren't your run of the mill 57 chevys... they are so darn rare people don't even know they exist. My dad will be at every car show with my 57 Dodge so he will be getting the word out I am still amazed at how clueless I and everyone at car shows are. I live next to summit racing hq and they have huge car shows.... NOT one darn FWL car in a decade... no wonder everyone likes the 57 chevy, they simply haven't seen a 57 dodge or Plymouth... a FWL Desoto or Chrysler would be insane.
We all ditch our imports for a cool classic when we mature and have the money. you think they want a Honda when they have money and hit 50? I gave that up also. I still have my Mitsubishi 3000GT, I sold my Dodge Stealth though but got hooked on FWL
