The '58 spring offerings included a number of changes
from earlier in the year, including painted headlight
doors (which I've only seen on one car) and other
oddities which may account for this. If anyone could
tell us how Regal Lancer paint codes differ from the
other '58 codes, this might give us a clue...
Jeff Godshall's excellent piece on the '57-'59 Dodges
in Collectible Automobile includes a pic of the never
produced '59 Regal Lancer. This was a 3-tone; IIRC
light blue body, dark blue roof, cream-colored fin
saddle treatment. It didn't really work IMO.
