That rose/pink color must have been a popular color for the Imperials back in the day. The Fleetwood that Elvis gave his momma was a '55 that he repainted in pink. He had a pink '54 Caddy (resprayed that color) but it caught on fire and burned up on the road in Arkansas. The '55 got wrecked in that area too in '55 to the tune of $1,000 in damages.

Yup, to be exact it's a 1955 Holden FJ225 and it's about 8 years behind the curve style-wise. At the time when US GM cars were all getting wraparound glass the Aussies were making do with straight pane split glass.

These don't look as bad as the Imperial with single headlights, though I prefer the quad-headlight look myself:

I think the '57 Merc is a good example of a car that looks better with the single lights. Those fenders aren't quite wide enough to support quad lights, so the result ended up being this swollen pus of an assembly that looked like it was hung on as an afterthought, and bulged out a bit on the sides.
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.

Of course, here's the absolute worst application of quad headlights:

Rats! You beat me by about 1 minute in pointing out this pathetic adaption of quad headlights. Congratulations, Lemko.

'58 Packard Caribbean?
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. . .
