Let us take you back to the ‘50s, an era when some of the most dramatic design features were bestowed upon automotive culture. Our subject car belongs to Dodge, an American automotive brand that is renowned to date. The Royal was introduced in 1954 as Dodge's top trim level. It was a significant model for the company as it partook Chrysler's $100 million "Forward Look" program and saved the company by doubling sales over the previous year. 1959 was the last year for the Dodge Royal, and the advertising theme for that year's product line was "Newest of Everything Great," underlining the brand's focus on innovation and modern style. Our subject Dodge Royal is from its last iteration as well, boasting a reupholstered interior and several upgrades. Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, it awaits its new owner.
Exterior and Interior
Finished in a Gray exterior, this Dodge showcases the unmistakable 1959 styling language, highlighted by quad headlights, extensive chrome accents, and pronounced rear tailfins that define the jet-age aesthetic. The paint presents as a custom paint job, giving the car a refreshed appearance while retaining its original design character. Inside, the Red and White interior has been reupholstered, maintaining a factory-inspired two-tone look with classic bench seating and a wide, chrome-accented dashboard. Original-style controls, trim, and layout preserve the authentic late-1950s driving environment while presenting in a clean, cohesive manner.
Engine
Under the hood, power is supplied by a 361ci V8 equipped with a single 2-barrel carburetor, delivering smooth, reliable performance consistent with Dodge’s full-size sedans of the period. The engine is paired with a 2-Speed TorqueFlite Automatic, providing effortless acceleration and relaxed cruising. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a traditional RWD layout. Notable mechanical updates include an aftermarket steering box and aftermarket master cylinder, improving steering feel and braking confidence compared to original specifications. The addition of rear disc brakes further enhances stopping performance while remaining visually understated and well-integrated.
