The ignition switch and heater control bezel are 58 too. Neil had said that late 57 Dodges had 58 style dashboards in them.

I'm just trying to learn how to read these plates. I see PNT =41M1 or AIMI?

How does that relate to:

Location: Alberta		The Dash is identical to my D500 except mine is padded, there's no embossed Lancer on the vinyl over the rear seat. The dual aerials are repops as they do not have the tapered mast just a straight cut shoulder.The upholstery looks good on the doors and seats.The colour combo looks great although it does not match the data plate. I originally thought the black/gold interior [217] was standard on the D500 until Neil and I had the discussion, he said that the D500'S were available with a choice of interior colours.I my self have only seen these interiors. I'd like to see serial # on the engine block.

I thought saddle tone was a 58 style? 4 for 57 was deluxe two tone.

According to Chrycoman (Bill):

4 - Paint scheme where saddle area is different colour from the roof, fins and lower.

For paint code 4DED -
4 - Paint scheme where saddle area is different colour from the roof, fins and lower.
D - Roof and Fins - Misty Green
E - Saddle - Forest Green Metallic
D - Lower (below side trim) - Misty Green

I wondered about the lack of a red handle, but I think that may also be the late 57 using 58 parts.

I chased those deflectors for years, always outbid. Then I came to the conclusion that the D-501's didn't come with them.

Hard to see, but it looks like the coil is mounted on the manifold on the passenger side. I believe Neil said that a Super-D would have the coil mounted on a bracket on the driver side valve cover.


Neil and I shared notes on two Super-Ds that were presumed to be original (at that time). One had the coil bracket mounted on the right side of the Offenhauser intake and the other was on the left valve cover. I can post a photo of the latter but I can't get at those photos for another couple weeks.

I thought Neil had said that the Super D status could not be determined from the body tag, only if it was a D-500. If 27 is Super D, what is regular D-500?
