Long time since I've seen the early front pan, which I understand was changed because its design was believed to clash with the rest of the car. Our neighbors across the street when I was a kid had the only '57 I remember seeing with the early pan. This was a Plaza 2dr sedan which I don't believe had a single option unless one counts the back seat and rollup rear windows (which biz coupes didn't have, but sedans did). Really a sad car with no options; he traded it for a '61 Beetle which strange as it seems I remember as more luxurious than the Plaza. Haven't seen that car since '61 or those neighbors since '69. --- Steve & Linda Chou <stchou@NEMONET.COM> wrote: > Here's a curiosity question some of our veteran > members may be able to answer.
