(Pics) 1959 Dodge Custom Royal

This is the SunStar '59 Dodge Custom Royal convertible in both top down and top up form. My original convertible is in top down form, but I have also added views of it in top up form with an added modified '61 Imperial convertible top placed in position. It can be displayed either way now.

1957 through 1960 Dodges were spectacular finned creations with the '59 and '60 editions featuring increasingly extensive styling changes but always looking great !

Awesome pics Mike as usual.. but this time the model is just great and rare too

This is SunStar's most desirable and beautifully crafted model...

Great photos but is it legal for mine to have the same licence plate numbers

I like the top up look and the way the sunlight glints off of the chrome. Just how do you do that ?

Great pics Mike. Imagine how much fun these would have been to parallel park?

I like the model more than I actually like the car....

So many of those land yachts just turned me off as a kid. The chrome and the tail fins.By the end of the fifties I was looking at more minimalist designs sans fins like the '62 Studebaker GT, the '61 Lincoln mid060's Imperial Crown Coupe.

Excellent photos as always. Your work always impresses me. The model however, does nothing for me-it seems "droopy" but I don't actually have one. So just based on the photos I've seen.
