I have a 56 Dodge CR. Dual exhaust and only the one heat shield. My
father's 56 also only had one heat shield with dual exhausts.
In my restoration, I cut out the heat shield from my donor car and plan to
add it to the drivers side.

I also have a 56 Custom Royal with a 2bbl and dual exhaust. I cant say if
it is original or not. One thing I did notice is that there is a heat
shield on the right side between the muffler and the passenger side floor.
There is no heat shield on the left. I figured the duals were added later
on. Does yours have dual heat dhields as well?
