OPEN POST: With An Absolutely MINT '57 Chevy Bel Air!

 

Did you know? Lots of important stuff happened in 1957, the saddest being the death of the great humanitarian and WWII hero, Raoul Wallenberg. But some good things happened also, like the establishment of the European Economic Community (the predecessor to the European Union). Also good, Americans got some of their first glimpses of great International Cinema, thanks to Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" and Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal," starring that dreamy Max von Sydow:

Also, Jimmie Rodgers had a big hit that year with "Honeycomb," so hop in your Bel Air and head to Arnold's to watch "The Ed Sullivan Show," he's going to be on in about 10 minutes!

Happy Open Post, darlings!
