Re: [FWDLK] 57 Dodge Regent on Auction

[Bill Watson <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the 6-cylinder engine in a Canadian 1957 Dodge Crusader or Regent would
have been the 250.6-cid engine.  It was also used in the Canadian 1957
Plymouth Plaza and Savoy.  The Mayfair and Belvedere series came only as a
V8, which was the 303-cid V8 in 1957.

I was in Winnipeg just a couple of weeks ago.   Did not know about this
place.  Will definitely go for a visit on my next trip and have a look at
what they have.
