In 1957 there were 2 different D 500 badges on the right side
of the trunk lid, one had the letters 500 on it and the other one had the
number 501 and was extremely rare. Both were red and black with golden knight
helmets on them.

I place my "bet" on the lighter chassis; '57
Firesweep, if it is indeed
lighter.

badging
Fellow Forward Lookers,
I’m currently doing a bit of
overdue tuning and sprucing up the engine
compartment of my 1957
CRL.
My example is two-tone green with the D500 engine option (325 hemi,
block
stamped KD500).
I have a question about the badge on the
trunk lid of this year, model, and
engine option.
Should it not have a
red and black “500” emblem in place of the helmeted
lancer with
spear?
The brochures for this year Dodge are pretty short on
explanation of option
packages.
Cheers from wet and soggy Seattle —
a nice change from 10 weeks of straight
sunshine (not normal),
Dan

P.S. Once we get her running again, we plan to do a runoff of
sorts with my
57 Firesweep, which as the 325 poly.
The numbers for
horsepower and torque would say the CRL is quicker, but my
son thinks the
lighter weight (lower trim) Firesweep will prevail.
Bets?
