WOW!! My 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 family four door sedan was not this fancy at all. If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again; MOPARs were so far ahead of their time.this is a great car. Thanks Lou & Greg for a wonderful Saturday morning treat. Such a beautiful car!

Of all the 'finned" cars made, I feel the 57-59 Dodges were the best looking of that group. I can not imagine how happy someone could be to have bought one of these brand new. I am sure that for this second owner that feeling was almost that good. Too many were lost forever when fins went out of fashion (in addition to rust). It is greatly appreciated and enjoyed when someone has kept like new or brought cars like this back to when they were new. Thank you to the owner and to Lou.

Yeah Brother! Now THAT'S a car! Back when car makers took pride and joy in EVERY square inch in the engineering of something this beautiful.

A beautiful and rare car from the year of my birth. My parents had a 1959 Dodge Coronet and I remember it well. Good video, thanks Lou!

...wowzers, Lou...Greg's labor of love for his dad surely came out looking terrific... ...in Flame Red and Glacier White...this '57 just perfectly epitomizes Virgil Exner's crew at Royal Oaks going "whole hog" in on the "Forward Look"... ...the Dodge models always had a bit more decoration, but this Coronet has a chrome addiction...my god, it's everywhere you look on this impressive soft-top...the find, the side spears the massively decorated grille and the windshield surround...amazing!! ...this hugely impressive D-501 had a very robust 364cid/5.8L Hemi, which were leftovers from the '56 Chrysler 300B production....which set you back in your seat, Mr. Viperman... ...no treats in that cavernous trunk...but there IS foil coated insulation ( have no idea why...)... ...this terrific Dodge of Greg's just makes me crave a strawberry sundae with whipped cream and a cherry....sweet ride... ...thanks Lou, you always find the pretty ones...

Greg's car looks fantastic in your feature and must be just stunning in person! Thanks Lou!

The dedicated restoration and story behind it makes this car more beautiful than when it rolled off the assembly line.

What a beautiful car. It has a close resemblance to a Kingsway

The 50's has always and will always be the best decade for car design

Fintastic ride!! Fins, two tone paint, white wall tires, lance and knight badges, chrome everywhere, sparkly gold silver interior, beautiful steering wheel and more than enough power under the hood. So clean there too. Pure opulence on wheels. I guess Dodge actually wanted to build a yacht, but changed their decision to a car in the last minute. The two antennae are like from a speedboat too 😄 The hood decorations give the car a sense of swiftness 🚤🌊, really super ornaments. The tail lights are so '50s, just great design ❤️ Keep on cruisin' Greg, you're livin' the life and thank you for the video Lou.

One of Lou's most prettiest cars to show

Beautiful Coronet! Such elegance. Fins, Fins, Fins. Perfect restoration AND the best part is he has put 30,000 miles on it since owning it. GREAT VIDEO LOU

Real Steel ! Beautiful Chrysler ! Thanks Lou !

MOPAR Styling in that era was “Fintastic”!… they were fast even when standing still. Beautiful restoration by the owner.. and as usual,you find us the best Mopars! Keep lookin’ Lou, Thanks!..👍

This is in all its simplicity a labor of love! I almost got teary eyed. I was born in 1956. These were the cars around when I saw the light of day for the first time. Saturday night’s ride to the Tasty Freeze with my parents come to mind….

Thank you Greg and Lou for sharing the 57 with us.

Wow. What a treat since I just received my ‘58 Coronet Convt today, that I recently purchased. Great job Greg; a wonderful testament to your dad., and his service to our country.🙏🇺🇸

Rare and gorgeous with plenty of trim, chrome, and fins! Greg definitely found the right one and all his labor really shows. Quite the rumble, too. Thanks, Lou!

My first car was two tone green 57 dodge cornet 4 door sedan LOU in 1964 i bought it from an ole farmer down the road for 35 dollars it was a rust bucket but was like new inside it had the firedome hemi in it man that thing would fly you brought back a good old memorie with this video im 70 years young now how time flies thanks keep the shows comeing

Great example of Virgel Exners complete new line up for 1957. True automotive art on wheels

My Dad had a 2 door hardtop in black and silver, 325ci poly with a four barrel. Forty year old with a crew cut beating hot rodders off the line. Pissed my mom off to no end. What a ride.

The restoration done by the owner is A+. The whole car is immaculate but the engine bay is over the top.

Great Dodge! Iconic styling and beautifully presented. Greg is a wonderful caretaker for this beauty. Very nice restoration. Thanks Lou!

A beautiful tribute to his dad.

That's a beautiful car, front back inside out. Museum worthy I'd say. Designers were on a different level back in those days. Love the 50s era of classic American cars. Thanks for showcasing it Lou :-)

The man who ran our local Esso station had a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 4-door in two-tone blue. He parked it next to the highway and I saw it often and always liked the Virgil Exner styling and those spinner hubcaps. Coincidentally his grandson helped put the roof on my house and I got to tell him about his grandfather's car. Loved the video. Thanks, Lou!

I never appreciated these late 50s Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth products back in the day, but I do now.

That's a nice car it's nice to see a old forgotten cars of yesterday

Great to hear that he drives it because so many people do not enjoy their classic cars

Gim'me some fifties fins any day of the week, Lou... what a gem!

GREETINGS. From Venezuela, . That is a Great Flame Red & Polar White Paint. 🌅 Mr. Lou Super Thank you for taking the time to show us an AWESOME CONVERTIBLE. 🌅 Mr. Lou, Thanks for taking us for a ride. Have a Wonderful Weekend . As Always an EXCELLENT VIDEO. 🌅

Wow what a beautiful and rare car Lou. I have never seen a convertible one in person before. I have always liked the Dodge Cornets. Especially the late fifties and early 1960s ones because you don't see many of them. When I was a kid my Uncle had a 1969 Dodge Cornet R/T and that's what got me into Mopars.

Well I didn't expect that thing to sound like that!!! What a great car!!! So many unique details in that car and I found it to be interesting that it has a gold interior with the two-toned red and white exterior. What a great car!!!

I love the 56 - 1961 Mopars.......very nice designs. Thanks Lou.

Wow! Only the second owner of this gorgeous Dodge!

I appreciate your special concentrate about car engine details & data plates. Its very important. Beautiful car. Thanks Lou. Have a nice day.

Awesome American monument and honoring his father ultimate cool Lou. 😎

Again it’s just a step back in time.I enjoy seeing the homes also.Keep up the job.

What a beauty of a car! I can't believe I missed this great video until now! Thanks, Lou!

Absolutely wonderful land yacht! Amazing... Thumbs up, Lou. Have a nice weekend, my dear friend.

I love these Mopars. The same fins they used on the Sweptside pickups ❤

LOU you get the coolest cars wish I had your job

Great car,look like coming straight from a Hollywood movie🎬🚘👍

Love the beginning Lou . Sound of that motor give me goosebumps lol. It a gorgeous car .Love those rare Mopar

ah, yes, back into my comfort zone, love it! lou, you're the best, keep 'em coming!! thenx!

Nice yatch.. 😳 very rare! 👍 iconic elegance.

Hi, Lou! Jimmy Buffett must have been enthralled by the autoscape around him as a kid, especially with these 1957 Mopars. Fins to the left and fins to the right! That year's Dodge (and also the '58s) were described as "Swept-Wing", and you could get it painted four ways: 1) in solid shades, 2) two-toned with the second color on the roof only, 3) two-toned with the second color on the roof and fins, or 4) two-toned with the second color on the roof, fins and lower body as on Greg's car. And the way the parking lamps were juxtaposed with the headlamps (the Plymouths also had that arrangement) was an ideal way to make it look like it had quad headlamps even though it didn't, as those were not yet legal in all states. (They were by the time the '58s arrived, and the '57 DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial could have either two or four lamps.) As you said, a parade on wheels all by itself! Greg has paid a wonderful tribute to his dad with this one! Thanks to both of you for showing this to us!

Pure magic Lou. Love the tail fin design. Very unique 😃

HA. I REMEMBER THIS CAR IN ASTORIA QUEENS. GROWING UP I VAGUELY REMEMBER THAT '57 IN 2 TONE. CORRAL COLOR

Another sharp piece of 50s Americana!

Thank you, Lou, for asking about the horns. You spoiled us a while ago by treating us to that on your videos. ☺ Sounds like Greg and you might meet up in the future? Haha.

Excellent. Eight years! Well done!

WHAT A AWESOME RESTORATION!!

Great bumper for picnics...

Here’s a car rarely seen in Wisconsin. By 1960 they were already rusting above the headlights and in the rocker panels. By 1965 they were all gone.

Finally, my all time favorite car 🚗

This kind of stuff gives you great dreams !!!

I've always been curious about the '57-'59 Dodge. I love this video! Thanks for sharing

Great car and really great restoration! Never quite like extended rear bumpers which allow for the spare tire cover. But it’s fabulous anyway.

Damn Lou, you found another love of mine. Thank You!

My goodness. This car looks like it has never been driven or even touched since it was made. I mean this is a real show winner. Isn't it great how simple the dash features are to figure out?

She is a beauty Lou, and thanks for this cool share. Thumbs up for sure.👍

WHAT A CAR!! THESE WERE NIICCEE CARS!! NICE RIDING!!

Gorgeous car, wonderful exhaust note. Thanks Lou!

Great way to start off my weekend. What a wonderful car. I like how you refer to it as "a parade on wheels". Greg has really done a terrific job on the restoration. It must have been challenging to secure the necessary parts given the rarity of this particular model. As always, great segment Lou and thanks for bringing these unique vehicles to your viewers.

🗣🗣absolutely stunning ‼️®™️ Parade on wheels..... classic❗️

When a teenager, always wanted a set of Lancer hub caps or Olds Fiestas.

HA. WAAAOOOW. LOU .A SPECIAL GREAT SHOW ENJOYABLE . 1957(YR.I WAS BORN HA) DODGE CORONET RED/WHITE INT.IMPECCABLE. GREAT RESTO, TRUNK, ENGINE,STEERING WHEEL PUSH BUTTON TRANS. I WOULD LOVE THIS CAR APPRECIATE THE SHOWING VERY MUCH . NICE GUY WHO OWNS IT .TRIBUTE TO HIS DAD . HOPE HE DRIVES ON WITH THIS BEAUTY IN GOOD HEALTH . ALL GOOD . GODS BEST TO U & HIM

Cool vintage PA Plate too!

Sweet. Fabulous line and length.

These cars were sweet looking ride

Wow! Beautiful 😍 Thanks Lou!

The fins are cool but I love the front end even more.

Thanks, Greg (g) & Lou, great overview of MOPAR; actually i had forgotten about the Dual Carb/ Options of Mopars ( rumour has a few Fuel INJ/&;Special **Plymouth’s ) were sent out also, etc. Anyways,interesting about first New Car buy: mine too as: 1970 CORONET 500/ 383 Dual Snorkle( no a/c) in summer 1970: a fast car.. Interestingly, my Parents had the 1959 CORONET STATION wagon Nine Passenger( I unsure of “V8,big engine,”as Dad got me a 1954 Ford 2DR/57 V8:**Engine/ 4 BBL/ **mild custom etc) that I got OUT of , needing for driving/ Dating (( when your 16, the Dodge May be fast, but prefer not being seen in Station Wagons!!!)…& I was NOT YET A CAR NUT! ps: the neighboring dealership in 1970 was fascinating ,for me:promos, AMC’s, racers, etc. … PPSS: some id the odd & really rare station Wagons are really RARE & interesting: e.g. Hemi’s, 4 SPD/, 428s, Interceptors, odd Options…., …thanks again.

Lou, thanks for showing. I saw a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer a few years ago in this red & white color. He also called it a D-500, which I think refers to the engine.

Very nice car Thanks for sharing.

What's an awesome old car sounds awesome as well 👍👍

Another cool Mopar boat!!

Now THOSE are Fins! Beautiful and RARE Mopar, fantastic! 👀🏳️‍🌈

Great one Lou

tha is a great car, i always wanted one of those ,great.

Beautiful!

Unreal

Just Awesome!

I've always loved these cars from the forward look era of Chrysler . I've had several cars and have an original survivor 57 Plymouth Belvedere 2dr hardtop. The 57 Dodge is another car I'd like to find especially a D-500 series. That convertible is nice.

Always 5 stars ! 😀

chingon trabaJo MR LOU

My Dad bought a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal 4 door sedan that he had for 2 years. However it was not perfect. It was painted the same color.

That's a Beauty!!!

Fantasticalli beautiful car!!!

Fantastic

Convertible perfect for to go to the beach ❤😂🎉.

amazing

A real beaut! Thanks

Class act sir

WOW, very nice 😀

How disappointing to be the guy that bought a plain jane 57 chev and thinking you are all that and a bag of chips. Until this machine roll by you. Ouch. Gorgeous car for sure.

I'm hoping to get to Carlisle someday .

It’s a very good looking car! It would be much better looking without that diving platform Continental Kit!

Dammit, Lou, now I want a '57 Dodge in addition to a Continental Mark II and Chrysler 300 (1960 or so) and I don't even tend to like 50s cars. Stop it! (also, don't stop it.)
