Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Kind of difficult - the car looks like a mint condition - I would had problems to decide wether to restore it or to keep it as it is. This is a white boar indeed, just as rare as they get..

Location: Under the X in Texas		The wheels can't be original to the car. They are Chrysler /DeSoto short spoke. All Dodge and Plymouth received the long spoke or "rim-laced" wheels.
I'd be curious what the data plate shows as this car would have been more attractive with a blue top.

Location: Yorba Linda, Ca		It will look even nicer repainted and the chrome needs some work. You may see the 65 Coronet behind that car??
That belongs to a friend of mine that got it from his grandmother, it had a "tired" 361 in it, now it has a "Hulking 440".
The car has the original paint, not bad, but if it were my car I would repaint it the same exact color, as I did my 64 Dodge.

"Different strokes for different folks", but I'm "Just not into", faded paint, no matter how old.

Location: Parts Unknown		The 56 Custom series cars are just flat out awesome with those painted headlight
bezels and kick-up side sweep. Too bad Exner did not focus his lowering and flattening
attention to the convertible top in 56. Those center bows could be lowered a few inches
to achieve the look they got in 57 and create a flawless design. That is my only bone
to pick with the 56 Dodge. A very good looking car.

Location: bishop, ca		The wire spoked wheels were available, but, as S.O.T. says, above, the Chrysler wire wheels featured the Motor Wheel brand short-spokes, where the outer run of the spokes did not extend out, to the outer wheel rim area (as are seen, as having been incorrectly-installed, on this Dodge vert).

The DOD/PLY's got the long-spoked Motor Wheels, where the outer run of the spokes did extend out to the edge-area of the wheel rims.

Thou shalt knot call MoPar wire wheels as being "Kelsey Hayes" brand.

Man,that's a nice looking Dodge! I've always liked the 56 Dodges,I especially like the taillight treatment,side trim and the hood ornament with stainless that sweeps back. I too think it looks great as it is.
