Brian,
There was no promotional model or annual kit for the '57 Dodge, however, in
the late 50's, the Irwin toy company did a fairly accurate solid plastic toy
that represented a '57 Coronet 2 dr. hardtop. It's about 6 1/2" (approx.
1/32 scale) and the entire car was chrome plated. They are now extremely
rare, and I've only seen one other than the one in my own collection (which
I painted red & white). The other '57 Dodge in my collection is a Custom
Royal convertible created by Joe Wheat's Memory LaneModels in 1/25th scale.
Only 150 of these resin cast convertibles were made. I have photos of these
and Western's '57 Dodges on my website. Here's the link:

help.
