Clay,
After looking again at my '57 Dodge 325cid D500s with
factory air they both do have six blade fans and one has a
1.75" wide metal fan shroud. My '57 325cid Red Rams
(non-hemi, non air) both have four blade fans.
It could be that the hemi made more difference than the air
or maybe the combination of hemi and air determined the six
blade fan and perhaps the plant ran out of shrouds the day
that car was assembled?? Who knows?

From: Ron Waters <Ronbo97@xxxxxxxx>
Fan shrouds were available for 55-56 mopars either with or
without a/c.
For
57-58, they were available only if you had air. The part
number for
57-58
upper and lower set is 1686463. There is also a bumper that
is
associated
with the lower shroud. This info is in the parts book.
