History Whatever Happened to this 57?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Gasser 57, May 6, 2009.

  1. Anybody know whatever happened to this 57? It was painted gold with a blown small block and as you can see features some serious engine setback. It was featured in either Hot Rod or Car Craft in the early 70’s and owned at that time by a kid named Dan Glover. I guess it just faded into history. This car (minus the engine setback) has always been the benchmark street driven 57 for me although there were probably a ton of em’ running around back in the day that looked just like it. It would be cool to know if it still exists today.
