Re: [FWDLK] 1957 Dodge VIN #

[eastern sierra Adj Services <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx>]

The 1955-1958 "Passenger Car Parts List" book shows beginning VIN's, and
the first 1957 Royals & Custom Royals , which   shared the same
VIN-number series, was  37,240,000 .So, by mere VIN, you can't confirm
which particular model you are looking at.

If Brad's friend's CRL convertible had a VIN 37273289, it was the
33,289th Roy/CRL built in the Detroit plant. 

I don't know the total Detroit production, so I don't know when this car
was built, but I would guess in November/December.

If she bought it in NOV, it must have been hot-off-the-press, from the
factory.

Hi All,

 

  I had my '57 Dodge convertible in a show here in Florida. I was approached by a woman in her seventies who bought a new '57 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer convertible in November 1956. Original combination was charcoal and white ,black vinyl top. It wasn't a D-500 model . She was a school teacher from Indiana (raised on a farm) and bought the car after graduation and went for a trip out West. Was unable to keep up the payments of 120/month after a year and half and her dad helped out ,but she wound up with a 1958 Dodge pick- up,payments 72/month. She has never forgotten the Dodge and was so thrilled to finally see a '57 DOdge convertible she related her story to me at the show. She has the original order for the car,pictures,her bank books showing the payment schedule,'57 Dodge brochure and pics of other '57 Dodges. A real car person,says she has been that way since her teenage years.

 

  I got the Vin # of her DOdge convertible and was wondering if someone on the list could be the owner and it still exists. Vin # 37273289.

 

Is there any other method of finding out if this car is still around ???????
