I thought of you when I saw this, Drew. Looks like a big difference between 1956 and 1957. Or is the Special a different model altogether?

Yes, there is a big difference between the 2 years, 57 was the first year that the engineers started towards shorter overall height, by 1960 the cars were really a lot shorter -height wise. Another thing, the Special is a B body car, so narrower and shorter in length than my Super, a C body car (based on the Cadillac chassis). In addition to all that, this car for sale is a post car, instead of the pillar-less hardtop, which is the cheapest car for that year. Yuck, the only thing it's got going for it is 2 door.
