Responding to C. Rollins: The '57 Saratoga had a poly engine, but is a rare model, and well worth restoring. As for prices, Just about Everything for these beauties is "absurdly expensive". Restoring and lovingly keeping an antique car is the wrong hobby if one wants to be cost effective. It's the grace of the Forwardlook, and the uncensored excitement generated on the onlookers faces, that make it all worth while. Young people who never saw one before yell "nice car!" ...You just can't set a price on that.

Is this an item I'm likely to locate and if I do would it be absurdly expensive? Or should I just think in terms of a no lead 440 from the 70s? Thanks! Chris Rollins South Amherst Massachusetts |
