jclary,
Working on it would be probably a little easier than the '57. Small car verses big car. True under hood is a bit more cramped but that's what happens when you add a V8 to a smaller car.
As for maintenance verses new cars? Hell I grew up with this stuff. If you had a car approaching 100,00 miles? Very special back then. Owning the '57 is fun in that I am doing things I grew up doing. Although the Stude is a little different than a Ford but it is still a pleasure to work on it. Dirty, greasy, knuckle bustin', Fun. You don't get that with a newer vehicle. Plug it in and "It's broke" or "Not sure what is bad".
Oh, the odometer showed 68K.
Later. Pepse.
