Re: [FWDLK] Carbs

Mr. Lejins' car is NOT an OEM Super D500 model.

It IS a real, heavily-optioned,  Single-4  D500 Regal Lancer,
(Bronze-on-White body) which allegedly may have been a
Florida 'Show Car', originally.

Mr. Lejins had its current two four barrel carb set-up be installed
on it sometime after he purchased the car.

Although some were undoubtedly built, no known Super D500 Regals
are known to exist, of the 1,163 which were built, in one of the 4-available
color schemes, and, altho there is presently no known production break-outs
between those four color combinations, I happen to believe that the 
rarest color
combination may be the Black-on-Bronze body scheme, from my observations
of the surviving examples of them.
