Well, Greg Leggatt & I have as close to a Registry of 1957-1958 Dodges
as almost-certainly
exists anywhere else.
I know that I haven't previously seen any records on her car.
It had an unusual color scheme, and almost certainly had the gold and
black interior scheme.
It would have been a VERY-early production model, so how well it was
built, especially considering that
it was a convertible, is subject to considerable historical interest.
I'm @ the office now, so can't check the production-number, based on the
VIN, but, just looking at
it, it does not appear to be of early production.
The Roy's & the CRL's shared the same "37-" prefix, so if anyone wants
to beat me to it, that's OK;
please do the production-math for me; I dunno WHEN this car was built!

To that end it would be nice to have a centralized car registry online
someplace. I also have a '66 Galaxie 7Litre and there are Galaxie
registries maintained online. Whats cool about those is that people
submit the info on their own cars or cars they spotted (junk yard, for
sale, etc) and they can track the last known location of a car.
(check out http://66ford.fordregistries.com/ for an example and click
on "registry galleries")
I never found anyone who is maintaining a central online Registry
for all Forward look cars. There are various MOPAR registries, the
Imperial club has a nice one and I imagine the Golden Fin Society
might have something for Furys. Dave has a member directory on the
forwardlook site, but its people-centric, not car-centric :-)
Perhaps we could find all the ones out there and ask Dave to put links
from the Forwardlook site (or create a registry of his own if he feels
ambitious, hahah!)

Hi All,
I had my '57 Dodge convertible in a show here in Florida. I was
approached by a woman in her seventies who bought a new '57 Dodge
Custom Royal Lancer convertible in November 1956. Original
combination was charcoal and white ,black vinyl top. It wasn't a
D-500 model . She was a school teacher from Indiana (raised on a
farm) and bought the car after graduation and went for a trip out
West. Was unable to keep up the payments of 120/month after a year
and half and her dad helped out ,but she wound up with a 1958 Dodge
pick- up,payments 72/month. She has never forgotten the Dodge and was
so thrilled to finally see a '57 DOdge convertible she related her
story to me at the show. She has the original order for the
car,pictures,her bank books showing the payment schedule,'57 Dodge
brochure and pics of other '57 Dodges. A real car person,says she has
been that way since her teenage years.
I got the Vin # of her DOdge convertible and was wondering if
someone on the list could be the owner and it still exists. Vin #
37273289.
Is there any other method of finding out if this car is still around
???????
