reminds me of the Nova I bought in my freshman year of college. It was a V8 with a 3 speed on the floor. Also had some sort of engine issue (a miss in 1 cylinder?) that I was too dumb to notice. Never did register that one, but managed to sell it for at least what I paid 9a rare talent I had in those days, making money on junk!)
Did end up with a spare hood for it. That stayed laying against the side of my parents garage for a while. pretty sure it is gone now though (being 27 years later and all...)

AFAIK it's something like rugby, we call it football but it's nothing like your football which we call soccer.
Back to cars...

The DeSotos and Chryslers don't look too bad with single headlights, because the openings were designed for either 2 or 4 headlights. The headlights were recessed, which gave the car a clean look either way. However, with Imperial the headlight assembly sort of hung on front of the grille, and the quads seem to balance it out pretty well. I think the Imperial looks kinda grotesque with the singles, though...
It has sort of an "owl-eyed" look.

I don't think it's a very attractive car either way, but definitely prefer the single headlights. I like the way they're recessed a bit, giving the car a tougher look. I always hated that bug-eyed look of the '57 Ford.

ETA: My bad, there was no Caribbean that year, and it's not a Hawk.
ETA: duh, just noticed the "1958" front plate. Feeling dumb right now. . .
I can't remember now, but did Packard even use model names for these cars, or were they just "Packards"? I know Studebaker called their version of that hardtop the Starlight.
It reminds me of a catfish.
I think the other Mopars looked much better with the blended single headlight and parking light set-up, but I guess they really couldn't do that with the Imperial design.
I think the late 50's Mercury's were underrated and nice looking cars. If they had been GM models I think they would have probably been much more popular. The 57 seemed the cleanest design of them IMO.

GM would produce its own similarly pathetic SL competitor a decade later.
Good luck with that one. :lemon:

Hint: It was sold at about the same time as the ATS 2500 and in similarly low numbers but otherwise bore no relationship.

In the 1970s Puma began building the Beetle-based Puma GT which proved quite popular in Brazil.>
FWIW, the Italian-sounding name comes from Puma Automovilia's founder Genaro (Rino) Malzoni, an Italo-Brazilian auto racing enthusiast from Sao Paolo.
Pay attention guys, Puma will be heard from again.
