A friends father bought a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Sierra 9 passenger wagon brand new in late 1958 special ordered with the D500 motor but was delivered with the" NEW FOR 1959 D500 Special " which was now 383 cid. It also came with those neat Lancer style hubcaps. That car is still around here with the second owner. It is not for sale but current owner is now willing to let it go back to my friend whose father purchased it new from the Esso service station/ Dodge dealer. It was kind of an eye opener for the gas jockeys back in the day when asked to check the oil and found this big motor with two four barrel carbs under the hood of a station wagon. Not just any station wagon mind you it was after all a Custom Royal. Doug
