Description
In the mid-1950s, a revolution was brewing within the Chrysler organization that would eventually lead to major changes in both the style and substance for the company’s automobiles.
The 1956 Dodge Custom Royal is representative of the direction the company was headed: fins; flash; and fast times. Although the fact that the car isn’t particularly well known is not necessarily a case of the wrong product at the wrong time, but, perhaps, an indication that every other manufacturer was heading down the same road.
