Re: [FWDLK] 57 Custom Royal Lancer D500 badging



You are correct.  The car should have the "500" emblem on the trunk.  Here is one listed on eBay, and the same as the one on my 57 Coronet D500 4dr hardtop: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201326892164?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT  Hope this helps.

Fellow Forward Lookers,

I’m currently doing a bit of overdue tuning and sprucing up the engine compartment of my 1957 CRL.
My example is two-tone green with the D500 engine option (325 hemi, block stamped KD500).

I have a question about the badge on the trunk lid of this year, model, and engine option.
Should it not have a red and black “500” emblem in place of the helmeted lancer with spear?

The brochures for this year Dodge are pretty short on explanation of option packages.

Cheers from wet and soggy Seattle — a nice change from 10 weeks of straight sunshine (not normal),

P.S. Once we get her running again, we plan to do a runoff of sorts with my 57 Firesweep, which as the 325 poly.
The numbers for horsepower and torque would say the CRL is quicker, but my son thinks the lighter weight (lower trim) Firesweep will prevail. Bets?
