Vehicle Description
This 1956 Dodge Coronet Lancer was just re-painted and has an
excellent 50s look! Due to Dodge's excellent sales in 1955, the
company made only a few changes to its product offerings going into
1956. From the front, the 1956 models looked virtually the same as
the previous year; however, the sides and rears underwent a minor
re-design. Perhaps the biggest stylistic change that occurred in
1956 were the new rear fenders that began to look more like the
wings that grew in popularity as the decade progressed. It was also
at this time that Chrysler's "Forward Look" program began to take
hold, capitalizing on Virgil Exner's aviation-inspired, aerodynamic
designs. So, with the new "Saddle Sweep" side trim and the new rear
"Jet Fins," the '56 Dodges started having this new "Forward Look."
Under the hood on this particular '56 Coronet Lancer is a 270 Cubic
Inch Red Ram V8 paired with a single 2 barrel carburetor, that
pushed out 189 horsepower back in its day. The 270 V8 is hooked up
to an Automatic Transmission that is shifted using a Push Button
dash-mounted shifter, which was new for Dodge in 1956. The exterior
on this 1956 Lancer was recently re-painted in a tri-tone paint
scheme consisting of Oriental Coral, Charcoal Grey, and Sapphire
White. This '56 Lancer sits on 4 wide whitewall radial tires on
chrome rims, giving this Mopar a nice ride and classic 50s look.
The black vinyl bench seats appear to be in wonderful shape. The
door panels, carpeting, headliner, and steering wheel all have a
great look as well! The dash is in its stock configuration complete
with a 120 MPH speedometer, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge,
amp gauge, and fuel gauge, as well as a push button AM radio.
Whether you're looking for a 50s classic car that no one else has
or you have a garage full of "forward look" wing cars, this 1956
Dodge Coronet Lancer would make for an excellent choice. Give us a
