Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Nice cars indeed Clive, was your car the one with eyebrows at Big-M's Place?

Is the Dodge a Dart Phoenix or what?

The 56 Chrysler is a spring special, but I'm puzzled about the trim.

The Dodge wagon is a Pioneer. No Phoenix wagons were built for the US market. They built 320 Phoenix wagons in Canada called Sport Suburbans, but they carried Matador / Polara side trim and tail lights with a Dart grille. The regular Phoenix body side trim wouldn't fit on the wagons due to the wagons all using the long wheelbase body and higher rear wheel cutouts. There wasn't enough room for the double moldings to fit over the wheel arch.

Hi Sven ,

Carl lists his as a 1960 Dodge Dart Pioneer Station Wagon

Yes Mine is the 59 Dodge Custom Royal that did have the Eyebrows at Big Ms place, I only recently removed them..

The other is a 1956 Chrysler Windsor Spring Special.. Unique Trim from what i know, but am sure Steve( Mopar To Ya) can confirm if all Trim is original..

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		We had a discussion Steve and I, years ago - what puzzles me is the lower beltline trim?!
The upper one and the middle is totally normal.

Try to find another car like this on the search engines......

I searched for years , and asked questions from other Mopar owners about that lower trim piece. When I had the trim off, there was no indications that it was not factory. Alumcan looked at it and his opinion was that it was factory. Some of the trim is like the other side, but just turned over. Only thing I have ever found on 56 Spring Special is the colors and interior color made available...................................MO

Location: So. Cal		That is a really sharp looking '56 Windsor. I love the little bumper wings & the headlight trim. Much better looking than a '56 New Yorker. I can see why you miss it.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Don't you know Mike? It always rains in UK, least that's what I hear

Joke aside, I do that too - if I have decided to go to a meet or participate in an event, then I go, comes rain or sun.

My car has seen a lot of rain during the years - now it gets a lot more TLC, so I start up the dehumidifier when I park the car in the garage.
