4165-PHX 1956 DODGE LANCER

Displaying classic 1950s American automotive design, this 1956 Dodge Lancer presents a two-tone gray and yellow exterior color scheme that perfectly captures the flamboyant styling of the era. The full-length body side trim divides the two colors with precision while adding visual interest to the profile. Wide whitewall 6.70-15 Coker Classic tires wrap around 15-inch painted steel wheels topped with chrome plastic wheel covers displaying the "Custom" script. The expansive chrome front grille, substantial bumpers, and distinctive tailfins complete the iconic mid-century aesthetic that makes this Lancer instantly recognizable as pure 1950s Dodge craftsmanship.

The inviting white and gray vinyl interior offers classic 1950s comfort and style. The bench seats feature gray centers wrapped in white vinyl, with matching door panels creating a cohesive cabin design. The large original steering wheel anchors the driving position, while the unique push-button automatic transmission controls add distinctive mid-century flair to the dashboard layout. The original gauges maintain their vintage appearance and functionality, providing authentic period instrumentation. The one-piece headliner shows quality workmanship with no sagging, while additional creature comforts include defrost, heat, and an AM radio for period-correct entertainment.

Powering this classic Dodge is a 315 cubic inch V8 engine paired with a Torqueflite 904 three-speed automatic transmission featuring innovative push-button controls. The Stromberg single two-barrel carburetor delivers the right balance of performance and efficiency. The mechanical foundation includes an independent front suspension with control arms and coil springs, complemented by a solid axle with leaf springs in the rear. The engineering package is completed with front and rear drum brakes, a single exhaust with an aftermarket muffler, and power steering for improved drivability.
