    ".....Wasn't there a ProMod called Christine?...."

    Yep sure was, and then there was the AL Scheib (480?) Hemi powered 57 Fury.

    But I think my favorite 57/8 Plymouth would have to be the "Suddenly" Hot Rod Magazine Special that competed at Dayton and Bonneville. I think there is a replica of it at the Peterson Museum as the original disappeared long ago.

    Mopar's could possibly "Rule" but a few of the
    Caddy's were top "Finners" in there day also.


    I'm a bowtie dude but I never cared for the '57 fins.

    I may be biased, BUT, I'd go for the Caddy!!

    Mike, I remember this one!!! I started buying magazines in '58, and remember reading about it in Hot Rod.
