In typical 50's Canadian Dodge tradition, looks like a Plymouth 318 style (301? 303?) engine rather than a proper US Dodge 325 Poly. Does have a 4 bbl carb though so not too shabby
This one on the left vs 325 Dodge Poly on the right

I was thinking the same thing.... normally a Canadian "318" was bored to be a 313. I got this from Wikipedia
Canadian by Year / Dodge Custom Royal:
1956 - 303 CID Plymouth A Block (Badges on valve covers show "Super Red Ram")
1957 - 313 Plymouth A Block

Those wide wide WIDE white walls reminded me of a clown car.
The one in the trunk would be white wall enough (for me).

Location: So. Cal | Really?? The one in the trunk is more appropriate for a '60's or '70's car and I think looks worse than just having blackwalls. I like the extra wide whites, but a little less would look better on this car. |

While it is hard to appraise something with only photos, I agree Steve! An EXTREMELY good deal!! Whoever bought it knew PRECISELY what he was bidding on! The forum members here have no idea what they are looking at! I’ve been checking these CDN cars for sale since the early 1980’s and I have never seen one this good!! I would love to privately talk to whoever bought it!
