A step above Plymouth in performance and luxury, Dodge's top-of-the-line Custom Royal models were flamboyant expressions of Virgil Exner's trend-setting 'Forward Look' styling.
This Custom Royal Convertible is one of 2,456 built in 1957 and is equipped with the rare D-500 option, which included a 310-horsepower, 325 cubic-inch, Super Red Ram Hemi V8 engine and Carter 4-barrel carburetor. It is believed to be one of only five D-500 Convertibles ordered with the three-speed manual transmission.
This unusual car was meticulously maintained by its first owner for 47 years and has traveled only 14,985 miles since new. It remains completely original and unrestored, right down to the period-correct plastic seat covers and dealer-installed search light mirror.
