I have 1957 Dodge brochures from Canada in English and French editions.
The Custom Royal Lancers appear identical to the US versions, at least
the sheetmetal, but the other models (Regent, Mayfair & Kingsway?) were
Plymouth bodies with Dodge frontend clips.

Is'nt there a canadian version 56 Dodge that has the Dodge front clip on
a
56 Plym rear half?
I always thought that a 56 Plym front clip on a 56 Dodge rear half would
make a very nice looking car.

While my car is older than the 61, I was amazed at the simplicity of
morphing the cars. The Canadian Dodge fenders and hoods are the same
part
numbers as the U.S. Dodges. I had expected them to be different. The
complete front sheet metal from a U.S. Dodge will bolt right on the
Plymouth
body. That is not the way the Canadian Pontiacs are done for a lot of
early
years. Same body, but with Chevy Frames and specially made hoods and
front
fenders to take up the size difference. Looks like the U.S. stuff but
nothing fits and it can be a lot of fun to find parts.
That all said, I like the Plymouth front end look better in 56 than the
Dodge I have but maybe some day I will get some parts cheap.
