Just saw this car on eBay (not mine), and maybe I know more about 57s
and 59s, but I do have a 58 Coronet 2dr Lancer hardtop, and it doesn't have
half of the chrome gee-gaws that this car has. Seems this one has
emblems added everywhere (fins, rear seat, tops of front fenders, etc) that
my Coronet does not have. Since I hope to restore mine some day, your
comments would be appreciated.
Am I crazy, but does this car have added "bling"?

Just look at the color and it all starts to become clear ..... a "Look
at ME !" kinda guy owned this. The kind of guy who
is all about the attention the car brings him than being into the car.
I'll bet it comes with a whole trunk full of ribbons and
trophies too, just to let everyone know that you too can be a
"winner".
Cursory look ....
3 hood ornaments
57 DeSoto fender toppers
Skirts (insert puking icon here)
Incorrect rocker mouldings (Spring Special or later)
60 and later hooded mirrors
What does he have in the dip of the back seat ????
Probably has chromed belts and hoses under the hood too.
All easy fixes, except the paint.
