This 1959 Dodge Custom Royal Convertible is fitted with the Super D-500 V8 overhead valve engine. This means it has an impressive 345 horsepower at its disposal from the five-bearing, Two-Carter four-barrel carbureted engine. The base convertible Custom Royal sold for $3370 in 1959 and only 984 customers opted for this bodystyle. Even fewer selected the potent Super D-500 engine, which increased the base price by $415. | |
