More of Collectible Automobile Vol.10,No.2:

The 1958 1/2... top-of-the-line Regal Lancer.  Available only as a two-door
hardtop, it displayed a fourth bodyside molding treatment that deftly
outlined a tapering full-length color sweep, which ducked under the fin.
Other exterior amenities included the Custom Royal grille medallion, triad
bumper "teeth," and a unique wider chrome eyebrow molding over the
headlights (borrowed from the DeSoto Firesweep).  The interior was plush,
sporting special seat trims and ribbed door trim panels with molded-in
armrests; chrome roof rails, bows, and rear pillars; special bronze
accousti-foam headliner and padded visors; and specific bronze instrument
cluster and glovebox trim bezels.  The Regal Lancer could be ordered only in
a stunnig metallic bronze with contrasting black roof, fins, and color sweep
(or its reverse), and also in bronze and white and its reverse.  Only 1,163
were produced.
