Thank you

I looked....sadly they don't sell cars.

i did notice however that the one they had wasn't a hardtop....I thought all 1957 Fiesta were hard tops?

If you're only looking for a 57 then I guess this 58 wouldn't be of any use to you:

If this had been in Dallas, or even Houston I would have bought it instead of my truck. Talk about a rare car!

There was a Fiesta sedan wagon in 1957.

Sedan

Ok so that makes sense there was a sedan, as this looks certainly like it....I wonder what production numbers are compared to hard tops

Super 88 was only a hardtop and the side trim always went to the vent window. Also vin# would start with an 8. Numbers with a starting digit of 7 or 9 would be an 88 or 98 respectively And Olds never made a 98 wagon.

Option codes

Do the option codes follow GM? I was trying to find I and N options which may be the easy eye glass and A/C?
