How cool is this picture
Corner of Hollywood and Vine in the late 50’s or so?

Very cool! Wonder what it looks like today? It would be fun to get a "then and now" comparison.

Tom Waits called it Heartattack and Vine. He references Oldsmobile in at least one of his songs, The Heart of Saturday Night.

I have had multiple what were they thinking moments about GM model changes, and the 58 and 73 model changes I think looked a lot worse than the 57 and 72 cars. 57 GM anything is awesome.
