For 1957, Chrysler flew higher than anybody had ever dreamed with the beautiful finned creations of Virgil Exner. To this day, these cars are among the rarest and most highly prized collectibles. Rare because of the quality control problems that doomed them to an untimely early death, and highly prized because of their "forward look" beauty. It's a classic combination of desire versus availability.......few remain, while many are wanted.
Dodge continued to excel in design and performance with its new line of cars. The D500 option, already feared and revered by racers across the country, was continued for 1957 in the form of the last hemi engine Dodge would offer until 1966. The basic D500 option consisted of a single 4 barrel, 9.25:1 compression ratio 325 CID hemispherical head engine developing 285 horsepower at 4800 rpm with 345 lbs-ft of torque at 2800 rpm.
