Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Beautiful car....in Brazil...only rich people had a car like that....

When I was young the late-50's "Forward Look" Plymouths with their big fins and tons of chrome were everywhere. All us young people wanted Mustangs and Camaro's. The old Plymouths were used up, rusted out and thrown away. Now they are rare birds and very cool. Thanks Jay Hackleman for preserving this piece of history, thanks Lou Costable for the video.

Cars of this era were art. Hat's off to the people who designed them and whomever agreed & wrote the check.

These old girls are still stunning nearly 70 years later Just love the style !!!

When I was 7 our neighbor had a very similar car that she would drive us to school and to various other places as my mother didn’t drive and Dad took our car to his job. She had a lead foot and I thought that’s how everyone drove. Great memories as usual from Lou.

What a great looking Belvedere! Those tail lamps are just fine for my tastes and the interior looks fantastic, too. Mr. Hackleman definitely finshed the restoration in style, especially with the dual quad set up under the hood. Thanks, Lou!

🙋‍♂️ THANKS LOU,JAY…FOR TREATING US TO THIS COOL 😎 CONVERTIBLE,AND THE RIDE ALONG 🤗💚💚💚

My Dad had a 1957 DeSoto. Never saw it run. It sat in our driveway until I was about 8 years old

This is the car the New Yorker cartoonists used when they drew cars. The men wore a hat and the ladies wore head scarfs when shown. Wonderful example here. Thanks for the trip back in time!

It is true that this 1957 Plymouth Belvedere in white and with the large red stripe, which widens as it extends to the rear, will catch anyone's attention! Those rear lights on the fins in the shape of, as they call them, "Rabbit Ears", for me it is a compliment, since they attract a lot of attention. Also the huge chrome bumper with the shape of fins in the corners and the large windshield with that curved style, especially at the top. Nice interior with those black, white and red upholstery, along with its chrome trim indicators and unique speedometer. The final walk was calm and relaxing; It's like going back in time to the 50's. Congratulations to Mr. Hackleman for this magnificent restoration! Best regards, Lou!

One of the most striking side profiles of any car of the era. Stunning!

Thanks for posting Lou. My dad had a '57 Plymouth. It was a four door sedan. It was a "plain Jane' Plaza model. No frills, nuthin!! Not even power steering. It was gold and very reliable. Those beautiful forward look MOPARS were prone to rusting and so many were built I must say the build quality was sub-standard. Rattles,squeaks and rust...Thanks for posting Lou! Have a blessed day!

Beautiful Exner Forward Look car! I had one, a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere 2-door hardtop, in 1965. It was my parents' senior graduation gift to me that year. Mine had the 318-V8 with Torqueflite, PS/PB, R&H, and was two-tone beige and yellow with a two-tone beige and gold interior like the Fury. I loved it! Wonderful car.

Hello Again, Lou! This time, you covered something you don't see too many of today. A '57 Plymouth, and a Belvedere ragtop at that! It's really wonderful to see a '57 Plymouth today, after so many Tri-Five Chevys. You still see quite a few of those Chevys today. But a Plymouth? Hardly ever! It's a shame so many of them rusted away to the point where their owners had no choice but to junk them. I believe those Mopars of that era were inveterate rust traps. And this example sounded rather tinny. That must been a Chrysler trait back then. I saw a '58 Dodge at a car show a few years ago, and when its owner closed the hood, I could hear that metal rattling, like a garbage can. This is a refreshing change from another '57 Chevy or Ford, I can tell you that! By the way, the top model in the '57 Plymouth lineup was the Fury. Then Belvedere, Savoy, and Plaza. The Belvedere was the only ragtop in the Plymouth line, and 9,866 were made. Chevrolet made 47,562 Bel Air convertibles in '57. The convertible sales champ in the low-priced field? The Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner, at 77,726! Ford convertible production beat Plymouth _and_ Chevrolet! Anybody who wants a '57 Plymouth, get one, and make sure it's a good one, and not too rusty. Thanks again, Lou, for another exciting video. I'll be looking for more, as I always do!

Simply to the Max!

Great job Lou, but I like it when the owner lets You drive! You are “the Man.” 👍😎✌️💚⭐️🔥

Beautiful Belvedere 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Lou. Love those Mopars. As kids we called the '57-'58 Plymouths Crusader Rabbit and Bugs Bunny for the "ears". I had an Uncle who's two brothers owned a Chrysler-Plymouth dealership, so he always had the COOLEST CARS!! LOVED THE FORWARD LOOK CARS!!

Our next door neighbor was a cab driver and had one of these that doubled as a cab and the family car which was common practice back then.

Nice car Lou. I love your channel.

Only the Belvedere came in soft-top form for '57. Thanks to you both

Thanks, I really liked this car, extraordinaire in all ways, a gem!

Love this car. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for showing this beautiful car guys.

This is a great example of The Forward Look! Spectacular condition and a real icon. Thanks Lou!

😍Beautiful Plymouth! 🤜🤛

Never heard the term on the taillights before. Nice Plymouth.

You always do such a nice job on reviewing these classics! Nice smooth video and just the right tempo. Archive quality. Thanks Lou. ~ David

Beautiful Plymouth. You can't beat the 50s when comes to styling. It was such an innovative period for the automobile industry both from styling and features. And I agree with Jay when he said it screams 1950s, it sure does, especially with those fins! Great video Lou!

I see both of your fun meters pegged ear to ear in that one Lou 😁 Another great drop top and car story. Thanks Lou, keep'em coming 👍👍

Lou, very fun Belvedere ragtop! Thanks man!

Christine is the first thing that comes to mind … Love it !!

As always Lou another good one thanks for putting it on ❗️🇺🇸

A 57 Ply Fury was one of the first cars I looked at to buy right out of HS in 75'. He wanted $50 for it but the engine seized up when he was trying to start it. Some other cars I looked at was a 69' Charger, a 66' T-Bird, a 66; Buick Riviera with a stock dual quad setup just to name a few. Ended up with a 69' Road Runner,

"That interesting badge there..." is a stylized sailing ship. Like the Mayflower. That landed at PLYMOUTH... 😁

Beautiful old car Lou thanks..

Nice 1957 Plymouth - the car was designed for (4) head lights so for 1958 they could put the (4) head light system. Dual head lights were only legal in a few states in 1957 but, in 1958 all states. The lower grille below bumper - for 1957 go vertical and the one that is in there is for a 1958. Cleaner looking that way. Thank you for sharing your video - LOU!

A beautiful Belvedere Jay and Lou! Thanks 😊

Suddenly it's 1960! So beautiful Plymouth ship🌊🌊🌊

Big beautiful convertible, I love it!

Very sharp Plymouth. Very cool with the dual quads. Thanks Lou!

Thanks for sharing, learned to drive on a 58 Belvedere. You might know that the back bumper on the featured car is from a 58. In the bottom/middle of the bumper is a hole for the backup light that came on the 58. That, obviously was not on 57s. Same for the lower front grill insert. The 58 insert was much more attractive. Enjoy.

Nice car Lou. Love it. A MOPAR fan.

The gold grille badge is a symbol of a sailing boat - easier to see in older models!❤

What an amazing restoration, great job Jay! Thanks Lou, nice video on a beautiful classic Plymouth!

Nice car, BUT lower grille panel and rear lower bumper piece are 1958. Fury WAS a step up from Belvedere and top of the line.

The Plymouth Fury was the top of the line in 1956, 1957, and 1958, then the Sport Fury in 1959. The 1957 and 1958 Fury was a two-door hardtop and offered in white/gold, buff/gold for 1958.

Nice Plymouth Lou! Thanks for sharing! 💯👊👍

Jay has a Fantastic Finned Forward-look Beauty. Thanks Lou. Not all States in the US would allow Quad headlights in 1957 so Plymouth and Dodge didn't offer them.

Super cool man!

Nice 😊

Great car Lou!

Another first Lou, I didn't know about the convertible windshield, it's beautiful. The emblem on the grille reminds me of a sailing ship, like a clipper, schooner, or frigate. Door handles by Kelvinator? 😊 I really thought I would get to hear those quads sound off. 😢 Grandpa was a Chrysler dealer, he drove a '57-58 Fury-Belvedere, all I remember are the fins and the mirror standing up on the dash. ... and we ran out of gas once.

Those fins sure are crazy big 😀

Hi, Lou! With its fancily finned 1957 models, Plymouth had something that was so fresh, new and advanced that its advertisements blared, "Suddenly it's 1960!" That got some people confused, including the feds, and to clarify while still getting the message across, Plymouth adjusted the slogan to "The 1957 Plymouth, three full years ahead!". About the turn signal lenses juxtaposed with the headlights, most states by '57 were permitting four-headlamp systems, but a few still were not yet, so Plymouth made it look like it had four headlights while still satisfying everyone. Dodge had a similar idea, while DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial made some cars with two headlamps and some with four. All states were unanimous by the time the '58s rolled in, so everyone got on the trend for that year. There is one thing I find curious about Jay's car, and that is the lower grille like the '58s had, instead of the vertical slots that the '57s usually had. I'm guessing maybe that was part of the restoration job. The Belvedere was the top series, and from 1956-1958 the Fury came as a single two-door hardtop that served as a halo car and performance leader. The Fury became a full series in 1959 that became its new top of the line, as the Impala had also become at Chevrolet that same year. All the five Mopar brands were masterpieces in 1957, and Chrysler was very fortunate to have had Virgil Exner as its chief stylist. Many thanks to you and Jay for taking us all along for some top-down fun!

Very nice!

It reminds me of the Belvedere that was put in the time capsule (at the time it was put in).

Lou, you'd lose your mind at the Back to the 50's car show in St Paul Minnesota.

Got to love those fins. . . :>/

Very nice car from the 1950's.I am a Knight Rider fan, can you do a video on KITT, it would be very interesting.

Que auto LOu Aqui en uruguay habia muchos hoy dia no se ve ni uno Que pena Los que estaban mejores marcharon hacia Brasil en manos de coleccionistas Saluda a su dueño por este Cristinita

She’s a beautiful car. I’m confused by the front end. Correct me if I’m wrong but the ‘57 had a vertical theme in the lower center section. ‘58 switched over to a horizontal theme in this area.

In Canada, the Plymouth Belvedere, was also called a Dodge Mayfair, just a rebadged Plymouth, with a Dodge grill.

This car screams 50s's! Fro the first moment of this clip I was already smiling. You gotta smile when you see this car. I'm impartial to the 1958, which was slightly updated from this car. It just did not look like anything else from 1957 or 1958. All the GM's looked similar to each other. Loved the color choice here. Beautiful. Were the door handles really from refridgerators? I'm not a pro by any means, but I believe the lower grill on the 1957 Plymouth's was verticial. The horizontal grill was used in 1958. I'm sure there is someone here who can verify that. Love this car's interior. I'm a big fan of the dashboard with the aluminum on it and the 1950's seat patterns. Love it.

Had refrigerator door handles because the doors were as thick as 1950s era refrig doors.

Thank you for not calling it Christine. This is a different car, but it is beautiful.

They designed the front to accommodate quad headlights, but they weren’t legal yet, so they put the parking lights there.

I have heard those type taillights called "Cathedral."

Lou, this car is spectacular. I wanted to ask you about the lower grill on it. All the '57s I know/have seen. had those vertical 'slats' that were the only styling feature a lot of the car buying public didn't like. I was born in '57, but must agree. To my eye this one was perfected with the '58. Let me know if I'm right. The only other thing I can think of is maybe it was a later '57 where they fixed it per the complaints?

I never knew a convertible version of Christine exists.

Definitely noticed 58 grille insert lower front, 57 totally different vertical style

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Corn fields forever!

It's a HYBRID!! That's a '58 Plymouth front lower valance panel he's trying to sneak by us, as we all know 57's had wide vertical slats in the lower valance that were immediately recalled because they caught rocks and pebbles and sucked 'em up into the engine so they replaced it with what is more common the vertical PAIRS of slats that cut the air input down. Also he is missing the PLYMOUTH letters that spread across the hood front and cut your fingers if you polish too fast with a thin cloth. They were called "wingettes" the gurney flaps on the bumpers - our '57 wagon had them and most '58s had them standard. 👀

💕👍👍 wunderschön

It looks more like a 1958 than 57. The headlights are from 1957, but the grill and lower grill is a 1958. The dash and steering wheel also looks like a 1958. As far as the interior is clearly after market. Non-original of course, but nice.

The Fury was part of the Belvedere line from 56-58.

56 Ply was the first car with the Big fins and we all know the old saying..."Plymouth did it first in 56'...Chevy did it right in 57'.

Dual headlamps were not allowed until 1958.

Цікаве авто! Дякую!

Isn’t this the same model they buried in a time capsule?

Hey man its got a 1958 lower grille

Glad to see he didn't reverse the colors and make a christene clone I can see it's a AZ car the Midwest eat them alive

When I was a kid about 12 years old, my dad bought a 58 Plymouth Belvedere convertible and as long as I was with him he would always let me drive it so that was only the second car I had ever driven before I got my drivers license. I thought I was bad to the bone Specially when we had the top down❤ the main differences between this one, and my dad’s was where of the red backlight was that was an aluminum piece on my dad’s and on the front end instead of the turn signal inbound it had to duel headlights

Never liked the look of these Plymouths...they weren't very reliable, and yes...were prone to becoming rust buckets. Of that era I liked the '58 Chevy Impala coupe.

To respectfully correct the owner, Fury was an upgraded trim package for the Belvedere in 1957. It became its own model in 1959, and was above the mid-range Belvedere. 1954-1959 it was Plaza, Savoy, and Belvedere (Fury included in the latter from ‘56-‘58). 1959-1964 it was Savoy, Belvedere, and Fury. When the Fury became its own model, the Plaza name was dropped.
