Very interesting picture looks probably a Windsor 59 conv + other 59 FL cars, but the picture is unclear. Know that these postcards are small in size. Do you have the opportunity to get the better sharpness?

If you go to some of the very first pages of this thread it is there.

Re: Dodge Femme, they actually came in 2 different colors depending on year, '55's were Rose (pink) shades 56s were Orchid (pale purple) shades, there were no color options. There's a mint original '56 for sale with all accessories about 5 miles from me that I wish I could afford.

Back toward the bottom of Page 91(!) of this thread, 60DesAdv posted a BxW street view
photo that showed a certain 1958 Dodge in the distance.

I asked what y'all what you thought that that car was.

It was kinda a trick question, and I caught Matt (Christine Lover), in saying that it was a Regal
Lancer.

It may well be a Spring Special trimmed car, or even a semi-custom painted car, but it is/was not
a Regal Lancer.

You'll note that the Regal's side trim, on the door, extends well-over the top of the door handle and it
then curves around and under the front of the fin.

The photo-car's side trim clearly does not extend up to the bottom of the door handle.

Also, the trim on the Regal's fender is wider than that as seen on the photo-car.

So, the photo-car is a bit of a mystery, as its side trim appears to be wider than that of the Spring-
Special's chrome trim.

What's with the jutting eyebrow trim? Was this a feature unique to the the spring specials,or something Chrysler never put into production?

I think you all are seeing things, thanks to the way the body is reflecting the light. Note how the light is reflected off the fender tops on the 1953 Buick Special Riviera ahead of the Dodge. The same trick is occurring on the Dodge wiping out any darker colour that may be there.

And the light is probably playing tricks on the eyebrow trim, what little of it you can see. That and the fact the car is parked with the nose going downhill.
