A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“Ah, the memories. Throwing those doors open to exit on a timed response only to have them not latch and come back on your hand, head, legs. Failing to latch the turret and spinning around on corners… enough to make you nauseous. Or backing in to the ATF with the M-60 not latched in the neutral position and bending the barrel (this actually happened). Maybe catching your boot on the door opening ledge and face planting. No one who rode in one doesn’t have an opinion on them.”

“I own one of these (long story), so I know they are something of a novelty rather than a serious sports car.
That said, they are such iconically cool cars. The grey/white background with the stainless foreground is just chef’s kiss photography. Calendar worthy shots aplenty in this gallery.
Best of luck with the sale! In keeping with the unspoken rules of quoting BTTF on all of these auctions, I’ll just paraphrase Doc Brown. “When this auction gets underway, you’re going to see some…”

“I live in Great Falls and recognized the lead photo. The fellow that accumulated these had a beautiful collection of fully restored cars. He owned several bars in town and had a gorgeous 50’s Corvette in one of them, Classic 50’s Diner. I am guessing these are either donors or projects he ran out of time for. One’s demise will do that to you.”

“In a sea of drab, soulless shape. Parking lots full of white, beige and Grey. Wouldn’t you like to stand out. That is exactly what you will get with this all new for 1957 Plymouth. 3 full years ahead of the competition. Just look at that styling. Gaze upon the majesty of color. Delight in the lines that none can imitate. You get more car, for less money.
Plymouth for 1957. Get yours today.”

“@dje7 Growing up I remember always seeing Mustangs in my neighborhood. My family had 3, my Dad’s, my Brother bought the red convertible in the pictures from the neighbor when he got out of the army and I had a red 69 Fastback in my early 20’s. The Maverick in the pictures my Dad bought new for my Mom and if memory serves, he paid $1850. Those were simpler times. Galvanized steel garbage cans, TV antenna’s on roofs and a Mustang in a lot of the driveways.”
