I am an old timer.  I have a 58 dodge d100 and a 73 bmw r50/5.  There is something to be said for the styling of the bygone years.
I agree with your tastes.  If yours is a '57, wouldn't it be in a C series?   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_C_series

I like the first generation of the D series up until '65, before they started losing the curves.  https://www.mecum.com/lots/DN0719-378051/1965-dodge-d100-pickup/

 here is a pic of mine.
Flat head 6

I did a straight trade for my harely.  I wanted a 57 all my life so i couldnt pass it up. Here is the harley i traded.  2003 dyna super glide that i dressed up to give it a modern day look of the 1942.
I suppose thats why the classic appeals to me so much.

Now that its out there to be seen i  glad i purchased a classic 500 when i did.  The 650 is ok but it looks just like another harley wannabe . 

I respectfully disagree. No V-twin here! I own an ride three Harleys. Other then being a cruiser style it looks nothing like a Harley. I does however looks much like a Triumph. No big surprise here as RE hired a bunch of Triumph engineers. Right down to the 270 degree crank parallel twin motor. Other then being a smaller 650cc motor and the drive chain being on the other side of trany I’d say it’s much the same.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as it’s been said before.  Besides the paint work, personally I like it.
