Dodge described the 1957 Custom Royal Lancer as 'completely new, from road to roof,' and it was. The longer, lower and wider body sat on a new X-braced frame with side rails. 'Twin-Set Driving and Parking Lights' were neatly placed above the 'Mono-Grille.' Out back, 'Soaring Swept Wings' housed new 'Twin-Jet Taillamps.' The Torque-Flite automatic transmission featured pushbutton controls and a 'Scope-Sight' horizontal red ribbon speedometer accurately reported vehicle speed. All in all, it was a dramatic package that set the pace for medium-priced cars in 1957.
This Custom Royal Convertible is one of only 2,456 built in 1957 and is equipped with the rare Super D-500 option, which included a 330 horsepower, 325 cubic-inch, Super Red Ram Hemi V8 with dual 4-barrel carburetors. It has just completed a full restoration and is refinished in the original colors of 'Tropical Coral and Glacier White.' The unique upholstery fabric has been carefully replicated.
