Re: [FWDLK] 56 D500

For what it's worth, back when I purchased a '57 Fury, it came from the dealer with the oval air cleaners.  It wasn't until many years later, I ever knew it should've had the lop-earred ones on it.

 

To show how "ignorant" I am about such things, I assumed that the 56 Dodge D500 would have had the same triangular air filter that the other Chrysler products with 2x4's had on them at the time.  I've honestly never seen a '56 D500 in real life; just in pictures.

When I got my '57 Fury, in September of 1957 it had the '58 oval air cleaners on it.  The dealer (my brother-in-law was the service manager at the dealership) said th! at the factory ran out of the regular air cleaners (cross over type) and put the '58 air cleaners on it.  The car was one of the last Furys made in 1957.  I was really dissapointed that it didn't have the Fury air cleaners.  But you said that it was a '56 D500, correct?  He got the air cleaners 2 years ahead?  With Chrysler anything is possible.  You can't discount what he's saying.

There is a man in Niles, OH. who is restoring a 56 D500 Dodge----this will be a wonderful car when he gets it done. I bought some 56 Chry. parts off him recently.------the guy who parted out the Chrysler had it crushed with a Hi-FI in it---------what a dummy-----But anyway this man bought a new 56 D500 and ordered a dual 4-barrel set-up. The unit was in the trunk and the dealer had to install it. They told him the unit was a 57. According to him it had the oval----! ---58 to 62 type air cleaners. Could this be a correct story ? The guy has 3 correct Hemi cars-------66 plymouth 4-speed, a roadrunner, a challenger-----all in # 2 or better condition----and seems very crediable.--------Johnnie Slayton
