According to my literature (I'm way too young to have a contemporary memory of this), hemis were standard on Custom Royals and optional on Royals and Coronets. Also, tri-tone paint was an option at least on all Lancers (two-door hardtops), including Coronet Lancers (there's a tri-tone Coronet Lancer on the cover of the September 1995 of the WPC News). Never seen a roof mounted antenna on a 55 Dodge, though. And of course this one may not really have a hemi, either.
