Location: CA | Oh WoW look at this thing! How very well done. I've never seen this one but my hat is off to the guy who did this one. Not a nit pic but a question: I thought Dodges and Plymouths only got the 2 way power seat, not the 6 way? I thought the 6 way was used in the large cars? |

Beautiful car. Only Plymouths had 2 way power seat, Dodges had the 6 way.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that! I can see the floor troughs for the 6 way power seat but didn't know if that may have been added. Pretty neat! |

Location: The Mile High City | Fantastic! according to data plate: - Torqueflite
- power seat
- power windows
- heater / defroster
- back-up lights
- mirror outside left
- mirror inside prismatic
- radio
- foam rear seat
- variable speed wipers
- jiffy jet windshield wiper system
- hand brake warning light
- map light
- glove box light
- trunk light
- vanity mirror
- clock
- two-tone steering wheel
- mirror outside right
- stone shields
- full wheel covers
- hood ornaments - this is now equipped with the better looking 1957 ornaments, looks like 1957 spacing too.
- power steering
- power brakes
- padded dashboard
- padded visors
- bumper guards (front and rear)
- license plate insert
- convertible top color: white
- Solex glass all
- Super D-500 engine
- Truck delivery
- Very unusual to see a Schedule B car!
- Scheduled on December 4, 1957 - built on February 4, 1958, according to the IBM card
- Dodge Custom Royal Lancer Convertible - it now has the lower model block letters on the hood and is missing the gold trunk script
- Saddle paint scheme: Poly Gold Metallic (roof) and lower, Sunshine fins and deck - this now has a pleasant mix of the 1957 and 1958 saddle schemes
- Custom Royal black and white interior
No coding for the factory spring special treatment, but it could have been dealer-installed - certainly the right time frame for it. The only missing item might be the type II headlamp doors. The data plate does not show coding for dual rear antennae and the IBM card does not show special coding for the spinner wheel covers. Those items may have been added later. Awesome car!!!

Location: Sept. 1958 | Tried to register on their site a few times but it doesn’t work. I see that they eventually post auction results on their site but one needs to be a member to view them. |
