Today we saw dozens of American brand cars at '57 Heaven and most of us would be proud to drive any one of them to any generic car show--and most could be assured of rapt attention and recognition. In 1957, there was tremendous creativity, demand, style, competition and room in the market for Hudsons, Packards, Studebakers, Plymouths, De Sotos, Ramblers, Internationals, Nashes, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Mercuries and probably even a few other now-orphan cars as well as the residual brands of Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford and Lincoln. Where have all the flowers gone? For whom does the bell toll? Hopefully, not for Chrysler and the remainder of a once-flourishing and exciting industry.
