Only about 300 or so made if I recall correctly. I used to drive it and even bought one of those musical horns that play songs, lol.

Been in the garage idle for many years now, need to sell it. Amazing that it had power steering and air conditioning back in the time it was made!

I do not have the stats for the '57, but in '56, the car sold for $10,000, which would be about $75,000 today and about 2,000 were made. It came with a 368 V8, which specifically taken off the production line for hand balancing and other special treatment. BTW, air conditioning was the only factory option. Truly one of the great cars of the 50's.

Also you can probably add to this list of celebrity owners: Elvis ('56), Jayne Mansfield ('57 in pink).
