Umm... how do surviving cars reflect original production? Seems to me that
green cars last longer than red cars, for example, and regular cars longer
than high performance. Who's to say there weren't more black/bronze RL's
that didn't get wrapped around trees?

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.

Aivar Lejins of CA has a Super D500, dual quad '58 Regal Lancer. The car
he purchased at least a dozen years ago is equipped with virtually every
factory option and is thought by some (including me) to have been the
Dodge show car at the 1958 Miami Auto Show. Aivar purchased the car
when it appeared on the cover (as I recall) of Mopar Collector's Guide.
It is a FABULOUS car with fantastic original interior.

I have a question about the 1958 Dodge Regal Lancer. Was it ever
a D500? Did it ever have the 2x4 carbs and if so on what engines?
Thanks
Mack
