Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | That's gonna need one heckava patch-panel on that 1/4 panel, but, really, installing a complete quarter panel to the body should be relatively easy to do, and it allows for easy restoration/preparation of the inner 1/4 panel areas, too. There was no Broadcast Sheet found on Frostbite, behind the glove box or underneath the carpeting? Edited by d500neil 2014-02-22 6:11 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 1906 Location: Ontario, Canada | When I first bought this car I was surprised that there was no gold on it at all! Even the Q panel shields had no gold on the helmet. Anyone seen any others like this? It came with no wheel covers, so, in keeping with the rest of the car I buffed off the gold on the covers.

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | The decklid "Dodge" nameplate was produced, for the Custom Royals (at least) in either chromed pot metal or in gold anodizing; doesn't seem to be any pattern in whether a CR got either type. The Regal's "spear" is clearly/"always" provided in chrome finish; not 'gold' (but Greg & I know that, from decades-ago). Here's one of Greg's research-photos, on the spears being chrome-silver finish. Don't seem to have a similar one, on the shields, but, here's an OEM photo with the knight's head definitely appearing to be in gold finish. Also, this third photo, of a weathered lance/shield, but, in the photograph, the knight's head definitely is more 'gold' colored than is the clearly chrome-silver finish on the spear, but I have no info on the 'story' behind this third photo. The knight's head on the spinners should be gold lacquer finish; 24K gold plating is relatively permanent, and, against the chrome-spinner, really looks OEM (.....as compared to 'gold-plated' lances and other nameplates that we see on various 'restored' cars). And, here's an example of that lacquer finish, on a 58 D500 emblem, that I used to have.

This picture of a stripped-down Regal was included in his advertisement. It may be one of the Regals already in this thread, but perhaps not... Does anyone know more about it?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 314 Location: Fairfield County, CT | Greg, These are great ads. I've never seen the two-page spread on the Regal Lancer or the acoustic-foam ad. Interesting that the acoustic-foam ad says it's available as an option across the line on Lancers; I've only seen this applied to Regal Lancers. Has anyone seen this option in another model? Thanks for sharing these. Happy New Year everyone! I hope to see many of you at Carlisle this year. I may have a surprise with me... | ||
Lancer Mike |

Location: The Mile High City | Happy New Year! I had a '58 Coronet Lancer coupe equipped with the acousti-foam headliner. It was an L.A. build. I have also seen another hardtop with the acoustic-foam headliner and I think the Dodge Main cars have this option coded into their cowl plates. Great stuff, Greg! | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | proud new owner of a Regal Lancer "parts" car no engine, no title, no interior(except for dash and two perfect sun visors!). I posted the body tag, thanks for the info. This thing is in bad shape. very very very bad shape so I have a 58 coronet donor car coming, it needs a fair amount of work itself but the price is right and it will actually move. There isn't even a "hint" of a trunk drop, the gas tank was on the ground, the tack welds they put in place to move the car broke in transit so we used tie straps to hold the leaf springs up and push the car. The frame looks reasonable though, doors aren't bad. I am missing those 3 pieces of trim so I will need to make or find those I think the back of the car sat on the ground and rotted away. You can see my trunk, wowsers...

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 | Well I have figured out a way to obtain the last missing piece of long trim from my Regal donor. it appears that the 57 coronet trim is curved in the reverse mode. I have a full 57 and a full 58 set of coronet trim. I even accidentally got an extra set of 57. This compares a 57 Coronet trim vs a 58 Regal lancer. there is no real curve on the Regal until you hit the very end while the 57 coronet has a longer entire curve going the wrong way. Using a 57 coronet trim will be tricky but I think the better option is use a 58 and putting two pieces together with that slight bend in the back. I still need one front fender (C) and both rear "points" and i will have a complete set of body trim...

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7207 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | That part looks really similar to the front joiner trim on a 1960 Windsor or Saratoga with the optional color sweep.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1141 Location: Blackpool, United Kingdom. | riclemenza - 2012-11-16 4:49 PM Ok Guys, I've been doing some homework. I am sculpting and molding a reproduction trunk mat to place back into the car.(58 Regal Lancer) It will require the time to set up the sculpture and the time to make a fiberglass mold from the sculpture. Then, I will take the fiberglass mold to NC to have it sprayed with a flexible black urethane rubberized coating. The urethane coating is much more expensive than I anticipated but there is no other alternative that I know of. I am probably going to do this whether or not anyone else wants a trunk mat. I will have well over $2000 of travel, time and materials in the first mat. If I leave the fiberglass mold with the coating place, they could make additional mats to be drop shipped for a rough estimate of $350 to $400 each. They may become cheaper if a large quantity of mats are made. These mats will look very much like the originals. Before I go off the deep end I would like to have some idea concerning the demand for the product. Let me know if you are definitely interested. Either post comments (pro or con) or send me an email. I can probably have the mold ready by the New Year. What ever happened on this project for the repro mats?? Thanks Paul. | ||

Location: The Mile High City | This one appears on page 6 of this thread, but it is for sale again. $38,800 buy-it-now in CA http://www.ebay.com/itm/172717566765?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true The Regal Lancer model was added in February and only available as a two-door hardtop with special colors, exterior trim and interior. Four color combinations where available: bronze with white trim, bronze with black trim, black with bronze trim, and white with bronze trim. It featured special nameplates at the front of the side spear trim and heavy eyebrow trim. Inside, Regal Lancers got their own interior with unique trim and door panels featuring molded armrests. A special Acousti-Foam headliner with chrome bows and roof rails was a Regal Lancer exclusive, as was the bronze instrument panel with textured aluminum inserts. The standard engine offered for Regal Lancers was the 350 cubic inch displacement "Super Red Ram" V8. Optional engine choices were the 361 cubic inch displacement D-500 and Super D-500 iterations. Only 1,163 were produced. The car is in awesome original shape with a full restoration on the interior. The exterior has about 70% original paint. This is a very rare model. It's a D500 with the single four barrel 361 engine. Options are front bumper teeth rear exhaust tips power steering. It's been a blast to drive but I just have to many cars. Please ask questions is you have any and bid to win. Inquiry about the buy it now price. I can assist with overseas shipping if needed.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1141 Location: Blackpool, United Kingdom. | Looks a nice original car, this is the one with the White centre seat bolsters, headliner looks like it's been replaced with standard cardboard panels? | ||
Lancer Mike |
| ||
Location: The Mile High City | It definitely has the white center bolsters, it could only be the same car. The headliner (from previous images) does look like flat board, perhaps not even perforated - I guess they could have stripped the acusti-foam off and repainted the board. From what I remember, the board underneath the acusti-foam headliners is not perforated. In the earlier images, there are no front bumper spuds and no D500 emblem on the trunk. Those must have been added along the way. It would be interesting to see if this is actually a D500 car. The air cleaner what looks like under-coating on it, and it had that the last time it sold. It's a neat-looking car! Edited by Lancer Mike 2017-06-07 5:33 PM | ||

That missing 1958, big block only air cleaner isn't real easy to find either, but I guess you could go to dual quads instead. Hi Nathan, No and I don't think Mary does, I gave it a 10 - 15K price on Facebook, due to the missing parts, all down to looking at car and condition really, if it had the missing trims would have been in the 20K spot , don't know if it's a D500 but looks to be similar spec to mine with no bumper spuds or power seats/ windows, seats will need recovering and that's 2K of Gary if he's doing them anymore, not replied back to me on mine? But at end of day they rarely come up for sale in this condition and as the other on eBay was a scam , this and nick's are the only ones I have seen for sale that look reasonably restorable since Frostbite, which I think went for around 10K in the end? I have been asking around £12k for mine but not had much interest? Paul. | ||
