Will these cars' detail images get destroyed, when the auction site is taken down (yes??) ?

If so, someone should post-up the detail views, to preserve them, for future reference.

I have a couple issues with the listing.
They had an Under-dash record player not an In-dash record player.
Adventurers did not use white convertible tops!
There are several detail items under the hood that are incorrect, but I would sure like to have it.

While sales for lower cost cars were dropping in '57, the Fireflite went up. Even so, only 1,151 were produced. With such graceful lines, it seems a shame.

- Black power top
- 341/295 HP Hemi engine
- Push button Torqueflite transmission
- Single four barrel carburetor
- Power steering, brakes and windows
- Clock, push button radio
- Tinted glass
- Dual rear antennas
- Dual outside rearview mirrors
- Front bumper guards
- Dual exhaust
- Whitewall tires and wire wheels were dropped after '56, but were still available through the dealer for an extra cost
