One thing that hit me at the Motor Muser was how different the '57s looked compared to the mid-50s cars. They were lower and wider. Here are the dimensions of the '56 Packard vs. '57 Cadillac, Imperial and Lincoln. The Packards were mid-50s in dimension and they still had hips, which made their front section look that much taller and narrower. The industry moved to straight-through sides by '57, making them look even wider.
