In the picture of the 57 and 59 Dodges, notice how the 59 2 door appears longer than the 57 four door? Pretty neat.

Not strictly speaking a FL, but the "Little Red Wagon" was popular at the drag strips back then....

Not FL - but talk about small world!! ... that Concord MA pic - my uncle lived there in
'58 and that '58 Ford could well be his - he had a Country Sedan wagon in that exact gray & white (red interior) as that car facing front, which as a car crazy kid I don't know if I ever saw another like it. And I do believe that is a wagon! How weird is that! He was a volunteer fireman and in town all the time...

In Nov of 1959, my grandad ordered a new 60 LeSabre two door sedan .... all white with dog dishies. A very unusual stripper Buick. That one shown in the Hong Kong restaurant pic in Seattle is a dead ringer ! He did like the Hong Kong !

The shot of Walnut Creek, Ca, is the site of childhood memories for me. Bet I strolled those sidewalks hundreds of times. Don't see Mom's 57 Bel Air wagon though .....

Another problem with the 1957-59 models was the poor body engineering. Many started rusting after just a couple of years. The rocker panels were the worst as they did not drain water well plus the mud and muck just collectec inside in the corners.

I had a 1964 Studebaker with the same problem. The rocker panel was divided into compartments each with a hole midway between the dividers. This meant all the guck that went into the compartment collected in the corners as there was no way to flush those areas. And thus the rockers rusted. I could flush the rockers on my 1964 by sticking the hose in the hole at the front and the water would spray out at the other end - the compartment dividers had holes due to rusting.

Getting back to Mopar's 1957-59 models, that was the reason Chrysler pushed its bath processing for rust proofing on the new 1960 models. The 1957-59 models had such a poor record for rusting (or should that be a great record?) it was colouring car buyers' (and the press) view of Chrysler body quality.

Its weird to see '50s cars in everyday use because most of them look so dirty and dull! Plus, there are a lot with no white walls, which I think makes them look even worse. Most of the '50s cars you see today are so clean and shiny, makes you think it was always like that. It's hard to imagine them as 'just a car'!

Its weird to see '50s cars in everyday use because most of them look so dirty and dull! Plus, there are a lot with no white walls, which I think makes them look even worse. Most of the '50s cars you see today are so clean and shiny, makes you think it was always like that. It's hard to imagine them as 'just a car'!

And yet they were just "used cars" once upon a time. When I started driving in 1967 there were plenty of these cars around. I even tried to buy a ratty 1959 Dodge CRL for $300 in that year. Although not yet 8 years old, it already had significant rust issues from the humid Ohio climate. The salesman turned down my offer though.

Hey how about that Lawrence Welk eh?  He can't decide if he likes the Dodge or the Plymouth! In 1958 Dodge was one of his show's sponsors. In 1959 he switched brands to Plymouth because Plymouth was "all new" in 1959. There's even a clip on the 59 Plymouth Fury site that shows him beating the bass drum for Plymouth in an introduction parade of the new car in the Fall of 58. ANd yet what is it we see here? Lawrence Welk is inviting you to test drive the new fulll-size 1961 Dodge with the reverse chicken wing? Boy I'll bet that went over big!

What a trip down memory lane! Great architecure shots too! Even though I lived through it, it's amazing to remember how just about everyone drove full size US cars then, maybe 5% drove foreign and 5 to 10% had compacts like Rambler American, Willys and the like. It was true paradise for those who liked 'em big! So very different now...

Good point about whitewalls - a lot of cars didn't have them back then. I like it when I see blackwalls on a '50s car at a show, in some ways it's more truly reflective of the time, like wagons and sedans, which is what most people drove, but far rarer at car shows today.

The last picture is a fake!!! I can see it was taken last summer in FinFury57's estate, thats his wife jumping in the water and you can see some of his cars in the background (he calls them "parts cars", yeah right). What you can't see is a huge warehouse stocking all those precious NOS parts, and even some used 57 Dodge parts (which are hard to get from him, I KNOW!).

That fence surrounding the pool is keeping the kids from touching the perfect paint finish of his '57 Plymouth.

You can see Jan sitting under that tree, thinking how he was successfully ice fishing from the pool on last winter (his biggest catch was a ladies bikini top, which he's now wearing himself!).

Oh those Norskes! Looks like he has snow tires on the front wheels too! Unless this was a special model of a Diplomat which was FWD, wouldn't the tires have worked better on the rear?

What year and make of car appears at the far left side of that "Portage, WI" postcard, with the rear of the red 61 Dodge seen, at the
far right side of it, about 11 images 'above' here??

Looks like a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle 300 sedan.

Before some states got upset over studded tires and road wear, I saw lots of cars with studs in all four tires.

58 DESOTOS RULE - 2008-02-08 11:17 AM

Groucho Marx was a spokesman for DeSoto for qute a few years but I wonder what this postcard was made for? There are no FL cars shown on it.


It was telling Mr Karlstad he was right about the secret word and Groucho was wrong(the wee bird always knew it).It was Feb.1957 ForwardLook era this was sent.

I'm surprised that no one has picked up on the foreign iron in the post card from Indianapolis, IN. Shoehorned in between the 1957 Plymouth and the 1954 Oldsmobile are two furrin cars. The smaller one looks like it might be a Morris. Anybody care to hazard a guess as to what the larger one might be?

Sorry but there is no FL cars in these pics/postcards as i can see but cool anyway.
Or maybe some of you have good eyes and can tell if there is?

The first is taken on the norwegian/swedish border before sweden vent over to drive on the right side.

Cool pictures but are you implying that Sweden drives on the left side of the road like the English? I thought all the continental countries drove on the right side of the road. Maybe that would explain the quirky Saab.

They did until 1967, then one night they switched over to driving on the other side and I believe with no accidents.

Well that was something I never knew about Europe in spite of a stint in the Army. I consider it unlikely that there were NO accidents on the day Sweden swopped lanes though. There must have been an old woman driving her Borgward Isabella who never heard the decree and smacked in to some yuppie's Volvo. :laugh:

Interesting on that Groucho PostCard - There is no such address in Omaha, I imagine the salesperson mistyped Nicholas Street - the home which was once there is now gone - maybe if he had bought that DeSoto...

The "Olympia Diner" postcard has been recently re-popped; I've got a couple of them in my collection.

And, there is ANOTHER 1961 all-tan Windsor 4-dr sedan, shown at/on the Caribou Hotel postcard, at Loring Air Force Base, in Maine.

AND: doesn't that '57 Adventurer look a tad out-of-scale, compared to the nearby early-50's Chrysler, and that '57 Chebbie convertible?
