1956 Dodge Custom Royal Navigation
In the postwar 1950s, the increasing influence and buying power of the American woman was noticed by automakers. They reacted by introducing concept cars designed to appeal exclusively to women.
Dodge led the way with the 1955 and 1956 La Femme, based on its Custom Royal Lancer hardtop. The eye-catching Regal Orchid and Misty Orchid paint scheme was exclusive to the 1956 version. A beautifully detailed interior was finished in orchid and white, with metallic gold trim. Special fashion accessories, including a color-coordinated rain coat, bonnet and umbrella were housed in compartments behind the front seat.
The exact number of LaFemme models built is unknown, and surviving examples are rare. This example was a 2007 'barn find' that was treated to a complete rotisserie restoration. It is believed to be the only LaFemme equipped with the D500 performance package.
