1957 Dodge Custom Royal SURVIVOR - Walkaround of the INCREDIBLE Low Mileage Forward Look Swept Wing 

Man I’m so happy this car made it into your hands! The care, the smart unobtrusive upgrades, just fantastic to see this lovely old Dodge set up for another sixty+ years of history. Thanks for this uplifting video 👍🏻

I remember this car from a car show in Strongsville Ohio (Cleveland area) in 1977! It was like brand new.

This era produced some amazingly well built cars. Awesome ride...

I think I have photos of this car taken at a car show in Strongsville Ohio in 1977. I will post them if I can find them. I own a 1958 Dodge Coronet that my grandfather purchased new. I had it at that show.

That interior is outrageous!

Awesome 57 Dodge Custom Royal, thanks so much for taking care of this Gem classic! Hold onto it as long as you can, that classic will love you too. 👍😎⭐️🔥🏆🥇✌️🍀

That is an awesome time capsule! I'm glad you are caring for it like you are!

Great looking Dodge! Glad to see that you did not try to make the car something that it was not ment to be. Only doing a few things to make the car safe & easy to repair (like the breaks). I realy like it when a person respects a classic automobile and tries to keep it as original as possible Great job!

This was my first car in the mid 90's, I loved it and wish I still had it! Mine had the Mint green with white.

About 20 years ago I was at a car show and saw a guy who had built up a '59 Custom Royal. He had retrofitted a 440+6 under the hood. It was jet black and had blacked out steel wheels that looked like they belonged on a Nascar track. It was so cool. Ever since then I've had an itch to build up a finned car. Thanks for showing us this, it's obviously too nice to modify too much. But it's a superb car the way it is.

This one brings back memories, from 1962 when I was four. For a few months, my father drove an identical 1957 Dodge...color and body style. But these cars were prone to mechanical issues, so he traded it in for a 1955 Pontiac. I kind of wish he held onto it a little longer. As young as I was, I preferred the styling of the Dodge. But he said the car was "sick," and that was that.

The amazing interior is so pristine it's a tiny miracle. Of course the oil turned to plastic about 1975 - Great channel amigo, I am working on a 1941 Dodge luxury liner . It's the opposite, pristine original engine and a body sitting outside forever with the windows gone. You know your automobiles - impressive.

Beautiful rescue restore

I have 3 1956 Chrysler cars. Windsor Nassau 2 door hard top, 300B and New Yorker more door sedan.

Pretty cool Vintage Dodge 👍 You did a real nice job keepin it Classic.

That's awesome

good job

The Golden Torpedo

What a great find, just a nice car for a Sunday cruise. Would of thought it was a 270ci. Red ram or maybe that was gone in 1957.

I remember when I was a little boy looking under these cars and all you could see was just slush of oil everywhere this is the first one I see that looks original first time to see one like this is a pleasure😮

That's exactly what my mom drove except it was a 2 door in that same 2 tone. Sure brings back some fuzzy memories. She traded it in in 62 when I was 6 for a new Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk. My dad drove a Porsche 356 cabrio and he traded that in for a new MB 190SL from the same dealership. Studebaker imported Mercedes Benz in the 50's and early 60s and sold them through their dealerships. They even had consecutive license plates.

GREAT CAR AND JOB!!!! I HAVE A DODGE CUSTOM ROYALE 1958...

That's a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing and take care ✌️

The best original I've seen

just the basics is right. perfect car!

Damn! I love that car. I have some videos of it on my channel. It needs to be driven!

Nice work 👏

That is awesome and the seats are crazy looking man what a car you got a sweet ride there for sure

You know what they call a quarter pounder in France? A Royal with cheese.

You need to Dragy it!!!

This is my favorite body style of all time, would love to have one, but I am retired now

Wish that 1957 Dodge Royal Lancer with a V-8 engine, 2 door hardtop with factory fender skirts, and dual antennas at the rear. For 1958, Dodge uses 4 headlights.

WOW nice car

My Dad had a 2 Dr Hardtop Black on Black. My brother and I use to call it the Badmobile

I love the 57 to 59 custom royals the 57 with the teeth on the bottom bumper very scary looking can you imagine seeing that in your rear view mirror

Simply, DeLuxe!

That's like new

I turned 11 in 1957

What a find !!! 👍 Don’t let Duddie work on that one !!!! 🥴

Wow what a beautiful 57 Dodge. They are only original once. I like how you did some modern upgrades. Especially the disc brakes. Can I ask where did you get a conversion from? I own a 57 Belvedere sedan, it had a similar life as your Dodge, its low miles and unrestored. Was a Georgia car now living in Australia because I imported it about 10 years ago. I want to put disc brakes on the front. Thanks for sharing yours.

In Canada, the Dodge of this equivelent would be called a Mayfair and was a Plymouth.

I wonder if ol virgil had thoughts of evil dancing in his head when he penned the drawings for this body style seems 55 to 60 had some of the scariest looking cars from all manufacturers buick, Olds etc etc

Cool find. But why does everyone have to do a speech/narrative delivery like Derek on Vice Grip Garage? Could have stood on your own merit on this one.

Amazing shape. Does that early hemi do pretty well?

What a nice find. I am curious as to what front disc brake components you used? Regards from Ody Slim

First!!! Beat that other dirty hippie....

I had this ,,,325 ci Hemi ,,,,D 500 really fast,,,,,

Hermoso

My Mom's Car. Hemmi D 500 same color,,,, very fast

That Dodge is cooler than Rat$hit.

Do you still have this 1957 Dodge ?

Is it forsale

46th

Can you believe this was a working class man’s car? My gay uncle had one in white and pink..
