Could use more photos, but looks nice.

For $25K, it needs a lot more photos. But you're right, it does look nice.

Looks like it has the crappy fit and finish you'd expect from a 1957.

 

Yeah, you are right about that quality control. But to be fair everything from Ford, GM, and Mopar had that same problem back then. All of them had the fit and finish of a early 70's Chevy truck.

 

Wasn't there a pro wrestler or football player who bragged about tying a nut on a string under the dash to drive owners crazy?

 

Dad found a small Coke bottle on a string tied up in the "B" pillar over the wheel well in a 52 Willis Aero Ace one time. Bottle had a note saying, Damn, you finally found me. Mechanics had rebuilt the entire running gear trying to stop that clunk noise. Ass at the factory admitted doing it.

 

Found it; it was Brian Bosworth:

That's why I said a 1957, leaving out the make. You know who has great F&F now? Tesla. Hahahaha.

 

Yes the do. Unfortunately every panel on a Tesla is part of the structure and is so thin that chasing out a dent is nearly impossible. Expensive when you have to replace entire sections to fix crash damage.
