Vehicle Description
Rarely do you find a vibrant two-tone classic like this for a value
price. So take a longer look at this 1955 Dodge Royal. It has the
right vintage appearance everywhere from the hardtop profile to the
V8 under the hood. But the upgraded style, overdrive transmission,
and A/C interior are there to make this classic a good cruiser in
modern times.
1955 was a great year to be a Mopar fan. A new Royal debuted, and
it was a more imposing design. There were crisply defined lines on
the pointed nose, flared fenders, and a hint of tailfin. And
because artful chrome is essential to a 1950s machine, you have
cool bumper details like how the rear one contours around the
tailfin and the split grille wraps around the corner just like the
front bumper. The paint takes Mopar's later Plum Crazy purple and
mates it with a tasteful silver. Plus, the trim knew how to
separate the two colors with unique lines that highlighted the
detailed hood and sweeping sides. The paint is an overall
driver-quality presentation, and that's great for a driver-ready
car like this. And as you look over the whole package, you can see
investments to make this an easy cruiser. On the exterior, this
includes the color-matched 15-inch wheels that let you fit modern
tires and clean headlights with integrated bright LED turn
signals.
Just like the exterior, the interior is the right mix of vintage
and well-placed upgrades. It starts with a stylish black that shows
a newer feeling in the upholstery, carpeting, door panels, and
headliner. Nothing looks out of place, right down to the insignia
steering wheel and working dome light, but it all just has the
freshness of a proper investment. So it feels like the right kind
of car you'll want to cruise. And when you roll down the side glass
on this hardtop, you can still stay cool thanks to the upgraded
cold-blowing air conditioning.
If you're a Mopar fan, you'll love showing off the engine bay. The
Polyspheric 270 cubic-inch Super Red Ram motor is correct for the
era and a rare sight today. It's built well with cool upgrades like
a hot rod style air grabber, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor,
an upgraded intake, and an H-pipe dual exhaust. You'll also spot
nice upgrades for a driver, like that aluminum radiator, an
alternator, and that battery moved to the trunk for better weight
distribution. The motor is a strong runner, and its calling card
was torque. So they're great to drive. To complete this proper
cruising machine are features like power brakes, front discs, and
an upgraded four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
This is an impressive hardtop that gives you classic V8 cruiser
style but with overdrive, A/C, and all the other upgrades you
really want. So at a price like this, you know it's a deal that
will be moving fast. Call today!!!
