Just a brief (1:45min) "trip down memory lane" to a saner, better time in America.

57 Chevy and Ford T-Bird are likely the most impactful from that show.

What about the Edsel? I hear that was the most talked-about car of 1957, but it doesn’t appear in the video.

1957 was the apparent ‘dawn’ of the quad headlamps, at least here in the US. First cars with them in production were (alphabetically) 1) Cadillac Eldorado Brougham, 2) Chrysler DeSoto Adventurer, 3) Lincoln Capri, 4) Mercury Turnpike Cruiser and 5) Nash Ambassador. Interestingly, these cars with 4 headlamps were only specifically legal in 37 States and illegal, by law, in South Dakota and Tennessee, until those laws were ‘adjusted’.

Buicks, Cadillacs, Plymouths and the Ford Skyliner stole the show with no competition from the imports.

Such a myopic opinion....

What about that marvel of German engineering, the Trabant, which made its debut the same year?

The building where the auto show took place was demolished a long time ago and replaced by the Time Warner Center, home of the worst Whole Foods in the United States.
