Extreme Veteran Posts: 347 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Ocean Park, Washington | I was born a generation too late. My dad graduated in '57. These places with the diners and the massive signs and the simplistic way of life is very interesting to me. I tend to look at the buildings rather then the cars. I can look at the old cars at the shows but its the enviroment that goes through the changes. Most are sad changes. | ||

Hi D500Jim Can you see if it is a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Regal Lancer (behind DeSoto 58 stw color lavendel) or if I see wrong? Kinda hard to see, so small. But I'd say the roof line and color combination suggests it is a 1958. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Parts Unknown | Even the Coronet had small teeth, and these may in fact be the larger teeth ??? But the side trim is a dead giveaway it is either a Coronet or a mid-line Royal. Only the Custom Royal got the rear kick-up side trim that this car does not have. BTW - what is the car behind the Pontiac to the far right at Gaedes above ? That roof is crazy long and flat with those opposing doglegs ..... ???? | ||
