What did he cite? One of Arch Brown's articles? At
least he said this engine was installed by the previous owner... the next seller
of this car may "forget" that.
He also says it has "original" CA black plates; 1956 CA plates
were yellow.

Subject: [FWDLK] Another Ebay Claim
#4603602007
List Members, Check out this claim that the 56 D500 Dodge could
be ordered with a 354 Hemi as an option. The lister (when questioned) sites
erroneous publications that make the same claim. I see this as the
perpetuation of more bad information on the very complex postwar Chrysler
performance history. There seems to be no way to stop these misleading or
unsubstantiated claims. It makes it difficult for people who want to get into
the 50s Chrysler muscle scene because it is so poorly represented by unwitting
historians passing on poor research. I see this list as the very best
resource in this regard and am very thankful for its existence. To a
prospective buyer a resource such as our list is much better than
old publications. Please, if you are buying a rare car consult the list
for feedback. Even if it is mistranslation or just bogus research, we cannot
stress enough: it is always "Buyer Beware." Tim in Golden, 56
D500-1 (Documented by Chrysler Historical Society)
