If that is original, then this car is worth twice the money...

Had it been a. 2 dr...

A four door hard top............. WOW. Worth almost as much as a two door hardtop and more then a two door sedan. IMHO.

Must be a flipper. I've not heard a 58 Dodge called a "flight wing", or do I know what a "cross over V8" is.

Does that undercarriage look too good to be true?

I hope Bob/78NYB sees this one.

Should have called it a wide block to stay off your flipper radar lol.

That is a beautiful frame rail.

Like the rest of the Chrysler Corporation, the entry-level 1957 Dodge Coronet received a drastic new design courtesy of Virgil Exner. The “Forward Look” styling, dubbed “swept wing” for the Dodge nameplate, featured tall, sweeping fins, copious amounts of chrome trim, wraparound windshields, and exhaust-style taillights.

Classic car price guide......... That's an editorial embellishment. We all know Chrysler refered to the fins as vertical stabilizers...... Even Gary knows that.

I was just showing that he grabbed stuff off the internet to make himself sound educated.
Like the ebay ads.
Two sentences describing the vehicle itself.
10 paragraphs of Wiki copy and paste.

That's right around the corner from where I live!

They used the Swept Wing term in ads and brochures rather often, think I even have one of those somewhere.

It's a really nice car, whatever you call it's fins.

 

[commando1]

I call them beautiful.
People, please do not try and analyze their mechanical function. There is none.
Their function is to evoke emotion that characterizes the times.
