    That’s the most beautiful front ever created on a car. It’s a true work of metal art. I’d like to take that car and drive it about a million miles, seriously.

    I recall the fall of 1954, I was 6 years old, riding my bike... I saw a car drive down Main St. that I almost couldn't identify until it went by and I realized it was a brand new '55 Dodge. I was a car fanatic even at that early age and marveled at how Dodge finally had competitive styling, I loved it... and still do

    Well Lou, You sure didn't lie when you said that you were going to have some pretty darn awesome *ALL-American Automobiles* coming up! The Great, Virgil Max 'Ex' Exner Sr., truly outdid even himself with this stunning '55 Dodge, (not "Doidge" as in the description lol) 'Custom Royal Lancer', a magnificent American Beauty! The U.S. Automakers of that era, especially Chrysler built true gems; not only in their detailed bodywork of kinetic-art quality appearance but, also in their innovative and advanced engineering milestones. U.S. Automakers were way ahead of any European automakers; Japan wasn't even in the running, as they were designing Soap Box Derby type cars by comparison. The 'Super Red Ram V-8' had a whopping 193-hp & a stump-pulling 245-ft-lbs of Torque! (according to Chrysler's specs) For a mid-'50's car, even an American made car, that is one powerful engine! While European cars averaged pathetic hp ratios, (unless they were put in Go-Karts!) America was building rockets! Fore example, In 1952, the German Mercedes 300-SL, 'Super Light' (weight) which was a true 'Super Car', produced only a max of 175-hp! And that was their most powerful engine. A big "Thank You" to Frank as well! BTW., There is a guy in California who would buy that car in an instant! I doubt if you have heard of him, I think his name is Jay Leno. He did some obscure late night TV show Back in The Day called, 'The Tonight Show'.

      @@loucostabile Actually, I may have made that remark in a tongue in cheek manner. But in truth, Jay receives a lot of calls like that with folks wanting him to buy their antique cars, as they know he will care for them properly. Not a bad idea really.

    Beautiful car, Frank and Lou. First year of Exner's all-new Forward Look. Designed by Exner and Maury Baldwin. With the D-500 Dodge Red Ram V8 engine, 279 cubic inches, 250 HP. The one-year-only Powerflite gear selector on rhe dash to the right side of the steering wheel. Beautifully designed instrument panel and steering wheel, which were carried over to 1956. An interesting side not is the overall design of the dash and wheel are faint copies of the 1951 Ford. This model has the little chrome fins on the rear fenders that became actual fins for 1956.

    Don’t you just love those mid 50s cars. I noticed the downward pointing door handles that pulled backward. I had later model Plymouth’s with them on the back doors and flipped them upward so the kids couldn’t pull them backwards and open the doors while driving. Just a memory from way back when. Brings back great memories . Thanks Lou. 👍👍👍. Also did you notice no park on the gearshift. You had to use the parking handbrake.

    I believe the fender skirts were an add on, car didn't come with them. I have the exact green one in the brochure shown at 7:08, all original and still beautiful... glows in the sunlight and moonlight (they tell me it's because the original paint has lead in it). Super red ram with the power pack option with three on tree and OD. (was grandpas... bought new august 1955). Never restored in any way, still as it was back then. Metallic thread is perfect everywhere as still has plastic seat covers from when new. 82000 miles. Same radio but no power steering or brakes. Aluminum keys too. Green seat belts still wrapped but in old plastic. Hood always bites my head...very low...never do remember that until it gets me.
    I'm 52 with 13 cars and you are so right... if they just sit, problems develop. Need to drive them. Thank you so much for showing me this car... they are really something. I won't sell mine as I have pictures of me at 3 months old in the back seat... way back then.

    My late grandfather once owned a car like this one except his was two tone blue and white and didn't have the fender skirts. It was easily the nicest car on our block (we lived in the South Bronx). He drove it to and from his job as a night waiter at the original Reuben's in midtown Manhattan. He gave the car to my mother in 1961 or 1962 but by then it didn't run very well so she got rid of it and bought a used 1956 Plymouth Savoy. He wound up buying a 1961 Dart Pioneer but it by then Chrysler had gotten the ugly stick out and their cars weren't nearly as nice as the older ones were. The Dart got stolen in 1967 and by the time the NYPD recovered it he had passed away.

    No more room for the chrome! Almost literal as one can get - haha. Lou, this is a beautiful car! I don't recall seeing this one even as a kid. I kinda feel ashamed of myself though. Why? Because.., well.., don't hate me - but my brain wants to see this car tricked out, full killer hotrod! I know - I know, ya just don't dress the Lone Ranger up as Liberachi under strobe lights on a fogged stage, but man - sometimes ya just gotta do stuff. (heh) But I digress. This is awesome as is. I feel so evil having those thoughts - I should probably talk to a therapist about that. Not about the Lone Ranger but about the car. Let's be clear. :-)

    Hi Lou and Frank. Great car, very handsome. Thanks for the cleaning tips. I think on the towels, to remove soap residue, you should do a second wash with white vinegar. . That will rinse away excess soap. FYI soap residue and skin create mildew which can give your towels that awful smell. Try not to use excessive amount of detergent when laundering. 👍😉

    Not only the trunk. A lot of cars from that era you could start without the key. Locking the ignition switch was separate from shutting the car off. If you didn't lock it all you had to do was turn the switch.

    We had a similar 1955 Royal Lancer 2 dr hdtp while growing up.
    Ours had the red on top and around tailights, white on sides, black
    on hood. Don't remember black on trunk, thinking it was white.
    We moved from NC to WV in 1969, mom decided to sell the Dodge
    instead of taking it with us. Sold it for $100. I had hoped to inherit it
    since I turned 16 y/o in 1969 but nooooooooo

    this being a '55, you can see where the guys at general motors may have borrowed a few cues from what chrysler was up to, and then cashed in big time on some iconic designs. sportsmans and royal lancers have a kind of forced rocket look in the rear, that didn't age well.
