Mike,I don't know for sure if I can answer your question or not. I am sure that you will get a more complete answer from the list, however, here is what I know about Dodge trim for 1956. I am sure that 1955 would be similar. The Dodges for 55 and 56 came in three different models. The Custom Royal was top of the line trim, the Royal was middle of the line trim, and the Coronet was the bottom of the line trim. That being said, however, the Custom Royal and the Coronet also had a convertible version. The Royal did not come in a convertible. The Lancer was added to all three trim levels to denote a hardtop. The hardtop was available in all three models (i.e. Custom Royal Lancer, Royal Lancer, and Coronet Lancer) The six cylinder models did not include the v trim on the hood (denotes V8). It stands to reason that since your car is a middle of the trim line model (like mine is), your car might not have come with the chrome fin. P.S. They also had two wagon models in 1955 and 1956. The Sierra and the Suburban. Let me know if you have other questions. I would be happy to reply.

My car does not have the small chrome fin on the back fenders. I have seen the exact car with the fins and then mine as well as cars pictured in my brochure that do not. Did only the Custom Royal Lancer have the chrome Fins? ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1
