1959 Dodge Custom Royal Navigation
As the 1950s came to a close, manufactures continued to increase the outlandish designs fitting the vehicles with red rocket-like taillight lenses, dual antennas, huge twin tail fins, and other radical designs. One of the most recognizable vehicles from this era was the Dodge D500 Custom Royal Lancer with its 'swept wing styling' and chrome eyebrow arches across the top of the dual headlamps. In the rear of the car were booster-shaped taillight fins. To match this dramatic style, Dodge equipped the car five available V8 engine options.

This 1959 Dodge D500 Custom Royal Lancer underwent an extensive restoration in the early 1990s and the odometer reads 41,000 miles since new. under the bonnet is a powerful 383 cubic-inch V8 engine breathing through a four-barrel carburetor. There is a three-speed torque flight automatic transmission and drum brakes in the front and rear. The exterior is finished in metallic Jade Green and white paint. The interior is the factory correct matching green vinyl and cloth upholstery. It was ordered from the factory with power steering, power brakes, rear window defrost, deluxe radio, dual rear speakers, dual rear antennas, and swivel front seats.

It was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $50,000 - $70,000. It was offered without reserve and sold for a high bid of $66,000 including buyer's premium.
