The funny part is that in 1957, American cars were still not quite as big as they were going to get; that curve still had a couple-three more years to run (more if you follow Chryslers). Compared to the early-'60s Continentals, the '57 Premiere almost seems compact. :)

(But then, the Continental of the day was assumed to be chauffeur-driven, whereas the Premiere is a coupé—clearly meant to be driven by the owner.)
