Mack,

 

    Only the 1957 D 500-1 had it's own badge on the trunk. It actually showed  501 instead of just 500.That was the one with the leftover 1956 Chrysler 300 B 354 engines with some factory modifications. The standard  1957 D 500 with the  smaller Dodge Hemi used the same D 500 emblem with 1/4 or 2/4 carburetors.

    Chrysler pulled out of racing in 1957 and I personally believe that the D 501 never got the attention and testing that could have made it a winner on the NASCAR and Drag Strip track.

On the exterior (with the hood closed) how can you tell if you are looking at a SUPER D500 or a D500. Are there badges to idenify what each is?

 

Thanks

Mack
