Quality of the 1957 Imperial



Ouch.  Yes, I have heard similar stories, like the floorboards rusting 
out within a couple of years.

Well, part of the reason I'm so interested in this topic is, I'd like 
to buy a '57 someday.  I've just always wanted a '57 or '58 New Yorker, 
300, or Imperial.  The question is, should I go with a '58 or '59 
instead?  Are the 1957 cars that have survived this long  "okay"-- or 
do they suffer from the same problems they had when new?  Is it 
possible to find a good, relatively rustfree, original '57???

I would think the values of these cars would be less if so many of them 
had problems.
