Description
The 1957 Dodge models were totally restyled from the previous year and were very much a part of Chrysler's “Forward Look” design approach. The cars were longer, lower and wider than any previous Dodge and featured large tail fins and deeply recessed headlights with chrome “brows” along with a gull-wing shaped horizontal bar grille, which dipped in the center and surrounded a large Dodge crest. The Royal was a high trim level of the Dodge line, with convertible, four-door, and two-door hardtop models wearing the "Lancer” designation as the sportier and more premium options.
This ‘57 Royal Lancer spent approximately 20 years with its previous owner and was acquired by the seller in August 2022. Per the seller, the car is powered by a replacement drivetrain that consists of a 383ci V8 and a push-button TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission.
The car is finished in turquoise and black over black and gray upholstery and is reported to have a limited-slip rear axle fitted. Additional details include a dual exhaust system, an aluminum radiator, latch-and-link lap belts, and a push-button AM radio.
This 1957 Dodge Royal Lancer two-door hardtop is now offered with a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
