Hi Scott,
Where did you come up with 5-figure prices for the '56 Dodge
Royal Lancer?
The Standard Catalog of American Cars (Krause Pubs) 2dr had a
factory price of $2658 and the convert $2878.
In the same book, the '56 Savoy Sport coupe w/ V8 is $2174.

What I find unusual is the huge variance between similar cars of
the same
year. A 56 Savoy averaged about $3500 - $4000 but a 56 Dodge
Royal Lancer
averages $10,500 - $11,000. The Dodge is clearly better equipped
but this is
a lage variation for for two similar vehicles.
Well thats all of my rambling for the day.
