Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car, in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight, in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree.

The flagship model for the Dodge lineup in 1958 was the Custom Royal Lancer and it came with the 350 (5.7 L)V8 or the optional 361 V8 4BBL, dual quad or fuel injection engine.
Inside Custom Royal Lancers got their own special interior with horizontal sweep speedometer and dash mounted mirror with plush color keyed unique trim and ribbed door trim panels featuring molded armrests with special Acousti-Foam headliner with chrome bows and roof rails. The standard engine offered for Custom Royal Lancers and for this one year only was the 350 cubic inch displacement 'Super Red Ram' V8. Optional engine choices were the 361 cubic inch displacement D-500 and Super D-500 iterations and the 361 fuel injection.
Fitted with a dependable Carter WCFB four-barrel carburetor, the push-button three speed automatic made this model not only a car with great looks, but also outstanding performance. With the base price of $3, 026, this performance engine could be added for just another $35.50.
Under the hood of this particular 1958 Custom Royal Lancer example is found a heater and defroster, power steering and power brakes and very rare air conditioning with the body in very solid and original condition with the chrome and bright trim, including the Knight's Head emblems, all possessing a proper patina of age. Survivors from this era are rare making this car an asset to any dedicated Dodge or MOPAR collection.
The 350 V8 engine runs strong and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives really well - must be driven to be appreciated - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money!
