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!
Hi Rusty, Happy to receive a "WOW!" from you :-) My pleasure sharing this Saturday morning treat, and you're welcome, Lou
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.
Hi Allen, A fine finned car indeed :-) You're welcome, Lou
Thanks.. good thought: my Parents had the 59:Coronet Nine Passenger Wagon ( loaded exc air Conditioning): admittedly the CONV & Regular 2 Dr ; esp D’s, RED **ENGINE ,a/c,TRIM, OPTIONS,ARE great, swoopy *& decorations, *&& colors!?? I quickly got out of driving the big Wagon,as Dad found 54 Ford /57 Engine/4 BBL/ dual;; custom mild, for me to date & drive to friendly Garage &/Service Station Hang Outs(* in those Days spent LOTS OF TIME there)……admittedly I coveted a BLACK 57;CHEV FEULIE/ CONVERTIBLE, ALAS , “SECOND”,the SupeR d500 DODGE CONV LOADEDETC(**/a Fairlane SPECIAL. 500 Interceptor , Black ( not avail CONV., ), would have been **third….. those were the Days….
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.
High praise :-)
...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...
Hi G Clark, Happy to receive a "wowzers" & a Strawberry Sundae too :-) You're welcome, Lou
Nice reply, too.
Yes, thanks.. see my comments: admittedly I **coveted BLACK “57 CHEV BEL AIR, OR Convert/ 150/ Fueilie/Optioned correctly ( though we were kind of DODGE Family, several)….
The dedicated restoration and story behind it makes this car more beautiful than when it rolled off the assembly line.
Hi steve20118, Happy to read you enjoy the story and car in this episode :-) Lou
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!
Hi Gary, Happy to read you enjoy the looks, and appreciate the rarity of this car. Nice to know you and this car share the same birth year too :-) Lou
The 50's has always and will always be the best decade for car design
110% correct
Hi Hal 1000, Happy to read you enjoy the designs of the 1950's. I like the 1950's cars too, and well a lot of other eras as you can see on this Channel :-) Lou
What a beautiful car. It has a close resemblance to a Kingsway
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Greg's car looks fantastic in your feature and must be just stunning in person! Thanks Lou!
Hi Brian SD, A great looking car from all angles :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, and you're welcome, Lou
One of Lou's most prettiest cars to show
High praise Elliott :-)
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
HI TCT9MM, FINS = FUN :-) Lou
Cars are made to be driven and enjoyed not just put on display at car shows. If you let them sit too much things start to go downhill. Dodge built a stylish car in the mid to late 1950s.
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.
Hi Cheeky Demon, Happy to read the details you see and enjoy :-) I'll keep cruisin, and you keep watching :-) Glad you're along for the ride, and you're welcome, Lou
Real Steel ! Beautiful Chrysler ! Thanks Lou !

Hi Robert, Happy to read you enjoy the story on this episode :-) Lou
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….
Hi elgustoesmio chupaki, Happy to read this video produced deep emotions from you. Glad to read this brings back fun memories, 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!

Great example of Virgel Exners complete new line up for 1957. True automotive art on wheels
"True automotive art on wheels" NICE!
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.
Hi William, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dads car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Hi Larry, Happy to share this one with you :-) Lou
Great to hear that he drives it because so many people do not enjoy their classic cars
Hi Daniel, I like that he drives it too :-) Lou
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 :-)
Hi zo maq, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) You're welcome, 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!
Hi Jonathan NC, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the Man who ran the Esso Station, and cool you were able to share with the Grandson too :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Awesome American monument and honoring his father ultimate cool Lou. 😎
Hi David, "ultimate cool" High praise :-) Lou
I never appreciated these late 50s Chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth products back in the day, but I do now.
I know! Isn’t that amazing? I think that’s true with so many people, especially car enthusiasts.
Hi Robert, Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age, Lou
Gim'me some fifties fins any day of the week, Lou... what a gem!
Hi Jimmy, Happy to read you enjoy this "gem" :-) Lou
Finally, my all time favorite car 🚗

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.
Hi PlymouthDuster225, Happy to read "Wow what a beautiful and rare car" :-) Nice to read your Uncle had a cool car! Lou

This kind of stuff gives you great dreams !!!
NICE :-)
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!
Hi iswc27, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Happy to read you enjoy the tribute to his Dad :-) You're welcome, Lou
Unreal
:-)
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.
Hi StuckInMyGarage, Happy to honk...when I remember :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great car and really great restoration!
Never quite like extended rear bumpers which allow for the spare tire cover.
But it’s fabulous anyway.

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.
Hi Kevin, Happy to read this is a "Great way to start off my weekend" :-) I agree, finding part must be challenging. My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou

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.
Hi Opera, Happy to read you appreciate this overview :-) Glad to read this video brings back memories of your Parents Wagon, and your car too. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

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.
Hi Jed, Here is a 1959 to compare, Lou th-cam.com/video/BOw4UAyUm3k/w-d-xo.html
WOW, very nice 😀
High praise :-)
@@loucostabile 😀
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.
Hi Chris, Happy to read "I've always loved these cars from the forward look era of Chrysler" :-) Happy to read you have some fun ones too, Lou

I'm hoping to get to Carlisle someday .
