Beatiful, a 50's Masterpiece. So glad I was born in the 50's to witness these as a lad
High praise :-)
That’s the prettiest car that Chrysler made in 1959. I really like the two toning. My great uncle had a new one, but he said that it was a lemon. He had such good luck with his ‘51 & ‘55. He never bought a Dodge again.
Hi Dave, High praise for the looks of this 1959 :-) Thanks for sharing your Great Uncles experience, Lou
1959 was THE year for Dodge. Nothing since could compare with this Mopar
masterpiece.
High praise :-)
This is when craftsmanship&pride in your work resulted in true art form. These are cars folks-not this crap we drive today. Give me one of these beauties any day over a new car.
Hi Craig Pennington, Sound like you found a Winner on the Channel :-) Glad you enjoyed this one, Lou
And NO COMPUTERS! NO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS! You can fix this car in your driveway.
They only lasted about 3 years. Rust proofing did not exist to a full extent back then. Most people would have to get a new car every 3-5 years (which most had the money for) because of rust.
You know, Cadillac always got the high class rating back then, very few cars came close. This car, with its craft & build just simply can not be ignored. What a true beauty.
Hi Muzik Man, High praise :-) Lou
Every detail is an iconic piece of art
Well said :-)
Impressive 1959 Dodge Custom Royal. Green on green and green interior is a top classic combination. The engine sounds good and powerful. Thanks for the video

Wow! What a beautiful restoration...of my absolute favorite year Dodge. My dad was a lifer at Chrysler Corp. (43 yrs.)
and had new ones every 2 yrs. But he had a '58 and a '60. I was bummed because I 💘 loved the '59.
(I was 11 yrs.old)
A totally unique, 1 yr.
body style, and they didn't carry anything over in '60 except the roof. Not seen very often today...a real treat for me! Thanks.😊

What an absolutely beautiful car, a true work of art! We used to see two cars in three tone paint jobs in Melbourne Australia in the early 1960's and always got excited over them! Would love to have one, I know it's only a dream...
Hi Anthony Darmanin, Glad to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Hope your dream comes true, Lou
Beautiful car. All of Chrysler Corporation's brands looked great in 1959. My dad had a '59 Imperial. Great car that he really loved. It served him well driving to and from work, taking us out on family outings, and towing his super stock Plymouth to drag strips in So Cal and Las Vegas.

Hi D, Happy to read "I love it" :-) If you like this one, you'll see many 1950's Chryslers, Desotos, Dodges, Imperials, and Plymouths. Lou
This was my first car, but in the two-tone pink. I bought it for $650 in 1976, my senior year of high school. =)
Hi ademas, Glad to read your story of your 1st Car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Oh how I love that two-tone green! I would love to drive that beautiful Dodge...I'll bet it can really haul A$$ down the highway! So thankful for your channel, Lou Costabile! Your videos bring back so many memories of when I was growing up. My dad was a FORD man, so I'm not real familiar with other makes (power plants, transmissions, fins, etc.)! And the videos are so entertaining and educational. Thank you, Lou Costabile for all of the fantastic information you produce, you're the best!
Hi usmale 49, Happy to read you enjoy this two-tone green :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Thanks again for the outstanding video. That's not a car that's a fantasy, a work of art . It is just beautiful thanks again for the great video.

Hi ER WanWagner, We have a Winner! Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Thank you for the encouraging words, it's appreciated, Lou
That really takes me back.My first car was a '59 Dodge station wagon,back when it was just an old used car.It wasn't as nice as this,but it was fun,and you couldn't break it with a hammer.
Hi M Poole, Good times, good times :-) Lou
M Poole Interestingly, my Family, had a 59 Dodge Station Wagon, Auto, three seater, etc. ( no a/c) : Drive it a lot when I was learner Permit, and first years of Driving( My Grandfather And I used it a lot for Truck Patch Deliveries, etc).....seemed to be good quality, though ate gas: do,not remember which engine.....
OMG Lou, This was the color of my Aunt Rose's car that I mentioned to you on 8/10/2022. I'm not sure if hers was a 1957, 1958, or 1959. It might have been a 1959 like this one because I don't remember her grill being as busy as a 1957 or 1958. Love it! I'm subscribing right now to your channel!
Hi Brian, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Aunt Roses car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
You are lucky to have the cars that you have. What great cars in those years.
A great car for sure :-)
Lou, I love this one! Like all car guys, we all love the Vettes, Camaro's, Mustangs, 442's, Stage 1 Buick's, Chevelle's, GTO'S etc. But it is cars like this, the really rare ones you don't see at most shows that have become most appealing to me. This is a highly underrated classic and stunningly beautiful.
Hi C Howard, Happy to read you "love this one!" :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing and I believe you're going to see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy. Lou
Thanks Lou for stopping by! Hope everyone enjoyed the car. Please check out some of my other cars that were featured from this event. A 1960 Chrysler 300F 1 of 3, 1965 Imperial convertible, 1958 Desoto Firedome Convertible this dodge.
Hi Mike, I was my pleasure to video your cars. Thank you for sharing with the Viewers, Lou
I wrote to you about the '64-'66 Imperials , now it's the Dodge. Between the ages of 17 through 21 I Had a 1959 Dodge Coronet Super D-500 Lancer 2 door. The Super D-500 meant it was the 383 2x4 barrel engine and Lancer was the name Dodge used that meant hard top. I asked when buying the car if there was any information on the original owner, I'd never seen a Dodge equipped this way. Because my father knew every Chrysler product dealer in town well, and they knew me through him, they gave me the info. She was a wealthy lady in her late 30's-early 40's who was known to Chrysler as a "preferred customer", in other words, most anything you wanted on the car was okay to order. She was very specific in her order. She wanted the Coronet trim for the most part. That means a shorter trim piece at the start of the fin, which makes the fin look 5 inches longer, and also the chrome ribbed insert at the tail of the fin. The Coronet lower side trim is 1/2 the width of the Custom Royal, but she did order the stainless trim over the front wheelwell leading into the headlamp eyebrows, and they were the thicker Custom Royal brows. She also ordered it without the hood ornament and rear fender hash marks which gave the car a longer cleaner look and ordered Custom Suburban front fender emblems (just above the bumper)instead of the Coronet upper front fender emblems. It was painted the Chrysler off-white I love, with a full Custom Royal interior in red, white and black. It was amazing the number of people who thought it was a Chrysler 300 letter series.The list of options; Power steering, brakes, windows, 6 way power swivel seat, antennae, power self dimming inside mirror, signal seeking radio, remote control drivers outside mirror, variable speed wipers, heat and A/C, TorqueFlite trans, posi rear end, Highway patrol level heavy duty suspension, Auto-Pilot (cruise control), PLUS a speed minder, the small knob with numbers to the right of the speedometer. Like the better know Buick Mother-In-Law speed reminder that buzzed when a speed was reached, the Dodge instead flashed the parking brake warning light when the reminder speed was reached. Also that light (lower left of dash you asked about) has nothing to do with being in neutral other than there's no Park in the trans and you usually have the parking brake on and the light is lit. The dash is gorgeous at night with soft green lighting, also the speedo shows green to around 35, is orange up to 60-65, then turns red the rest of the way to the end. She had a tachometer exactly the size of the clock in the instrument cluster. I was into the local drag racing scene at the time. 0-60 was 7.5 sec or less, and the 1/4 was 11-12 seconds at 112+ mph, top speed was a nudge over 140. That to me was phenomenal for such a loaded car. That enormous trunk could hold two 250 Yamaha flat track motorcycles (my friend Norm and I raced flat track) our leathers, a gas can, and spare parts AND we could close the trunk lid. The car had a set of Chrysler chrome wire wheels (with Goodyear Blue Streak wide whitewall tires)on it when I got it, but I drove aggressively enough they would vibrate. I replaced them with chrome rims with a section painted black and wire baskets with knock offs over them. They looked exactly like wires and no more problems. I might also mention to Mr McCandless, please, for your own driving pleasure raise the front suspension to stock specs. The same goes for all torsion bar Mopars (like his Imperial). The cornering ability and stability is increased tremendously. A lot of people like the ability to crank them lower in the front, but they even look better, if slightly arrogant with the front up. One of my 1957 Plymouth Belvederes was cranked all the way down. The people who had the car basically gave it to me, they said it was dangerous and hard to control. I jacked it up and cranked up the torsion bars to stock height and it handles like a good sports car. My '59 Dodge, alas, started adopting an attitude like Christine. I kept it near perfect condition, I just got the feeling it didn't like me anymore. I loved that car and learned high speed driving more than ever, but in the end, I traded with my girlfriend of the time for a black, fully loaded 1956 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country wagon. One day I'd like to find another '59 Dodge and recreate the look of my old one, but then my two 1957 Belvederes (Sportscoupe and convertible) might get jealous

Hi Lawrence, Thank you for sharing and adding to the story. By the way, here is the 1965 Imperial, enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/_EsvMVHa57k/w-d-xo.html
Yes! That's what I was thinking! It does have a 'face', and the 'expression' is definitely angry and aggressive.

Hi Sean McGivney, Thank you and glad you're along for the ride :-) Lou
Gosh, what a beautiful car! My late Auntie Clara & Uncle Pete had a 1959 Dodge Custom Royal like this one....all the bells and whistles.They bought it new in the Fall of 1958. Theirs was 2-tone in a cream/white and light brown color. My Auntie drove it until she passed in 1981. It was always kept in a closed garage, so it still looked show room new for all of those years. Really enjoyed watching this video and Mike has a truly *gorgeous* car, that is so solid and stylish! Cheers from Canada : )
Hi Billy Krzemien, Glad you enjoy the looks of this one, and thank you for sharing the memories of Auntie Clara & Uncle Pete too :-) Welcome Friend from up North, Lou
Pure class! Thank you!
Happy to read you think this car is "Pure class!" :-) You're welcome.
Wow Lou this is really awesome what a green Beauty
Hi Andrew, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you on this car :-) Lou
"Massive" trunk is right. My dad and I ate our lunch in one at the Iowa State Fair way back in the early 60s with the cooler between us as our "table". It was raining and 4 others were in the car eating their lunch. I'm looking for the picture that was taken with Dad and I in the trunk. The lit was an excellent "umbrella"
Hi Chris, That is awesome your Dad and you shared lunch in the trunk :-) What a wonderful memory, Lou
Thanks, great story,,, My Parents had th 1959:Dodge STATION / Rear* face Seat/ fairly loaded with PS/ PB/ auto/ v8 ?…(?): in Beiges//// imhad to drive it a lot with new Drivers License…(*1961-2)a ****massive car, though seemed really powerful, & seemed tough……..our Family had five kids,etc.
Standard motor in the Custom Royal was the 361 4-barrel. D500 had a 383 4-barrel which was pretty much identical in appearance, just had a bigger bore. Top option was the D500-1, which had a 383 with two four barrels. There was also a 326 poly 2-barrel which was the base V8 in the Coronet, and a 361 2-barrel, which was the base V8 in the Royal. These two models optionally offered the 4-barrel 361 and the two 383 motors listed above. You could also get a flathead six in the Coronet - last year for it in US passenger cars; next year was the first slant six. Just FYI

Those 4-bar spinners were VERY popular with the custom crowd.....very flashy.
Hi Steve, Thank you for viewing & sharing your knowledge, Lou
my Dad had a '59 Coronet...I always loved the rear view mirror on the dash and the push button transmission!
Thank you for viewing and sharing details you enjoy on Dad's car :-)
that rear view mirror mounted on the dash was a very bad design. it was hard to see what was behind you, and if people were in the back seat, it was impossible to see behind you. the 1st thing i did when i bought my 59 dodge was made a bracket and hung the mirror from the top of the windshield so i could see. the 2nd thing i did was move the exterior rear view mirrors from the fenders to the doors. another bad design from the factory. with the mirrors so far from the driver, you didn't have much of a field of view behind you and you could not adjust the mirror from inside the car. you can try it. hold a mirror to your left side and see how much you can see. now put the mirror 4 feet in front of you and see how much less you can see behind you. i bought mine in 1968. to this day i still think it is the most beautiful car ever made
Great car and video thanks
Appreciate the kind words and you're welcome.
Love all that chrome!
Glad you love the chrome on this car :-) Me too.
Nice car! The summer after I took my driverlicense mom and dad putted me behind the steeringwheel of a foor door Dodge Royal 59! I loved that car, I drove it for about 10 years, then they sold it! It had the same colourschematic on it and it was the first very double green combination in Sweden. The summer dad did it we went to Wings and Wheels and they told in the speakersystem that they wanted that Dodge on stage. Well, cannot be mad at them, because it was the only green green car on the entire field. But after that show...green green was spitted out like, I do not know...like it was from a factory or something. The fourth door was not a HT though. But man! I loved that car, no powersteering, nor powerbrakes...it was genuine...but I was chocked how easy it was to turn even if there was no powersteering. I could handle it onehanded. Nice car, if I got the cash I will for sure bring back that car where it belongs. :D Cheers from Sweden! Btw, it even sounds like mom and dads Dodge! Omg omg omg! A tear dripping down my eye now!
Good times, good times :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing about family's car and adding to the story, Lou
Thanks for the response. I hope you will get some good memories in that Dodge 59. I got tons of them from my mom and dads Dodge. Yeah, I was my mom and dads private driver on every swapmeet, classicmeets and so on around Sweden in these days. They even got an old time Opio caravan in the same colour as the car. The caravans that was nicknamed "egg" here in Sweden. So in that one we slept in if the swapmeet or classicmeet was longer then a day and ofcourse many people looked at our Dodge with the caravan and their eyebrows was raised quite a bit. :)
really nice car didn't expect to like it but i do the stance the details, The two tone paint

Beautiful vehicle - lovely.
Glad to read you enjoy this car :-)
Awe. That's the emotion I feel. That bench seat with the swivel driver seat! Amazing engineering that's not seen today. These cars could look good because safety wasn't as important, I mean these cars were (hand)built for cruising so crashes were less fatal as no one was going too fast, except those greasers. Today's cars have to look ugly to allow people to go fast. A compromise that should never be made. You should come over to England, there's many car shows here. There's a annually one not far from my home town which is free. There are both British and American classics. Last year there was even HUGE (bigger than american classic HUGE) WW2 trucks and even some steam engines from the Victorian era.
Hi Yeenosaur, Glad you like the looks of this one :-) Sounds like your car show is a good time. Thank you for sharing, Lou
+Lou Costabile No problem! It is you should check it out its usually July time if you are interested
Gorgeous.....it looks similar to George Barris' Batmobile.
Glad you enjoy the looks of this car Curt Brennan :-) I can see why you'd say it looks like the Batmobile.
Gorgeous car. This was one of the great cars of my youth. Little did I know I was witnessing the best in car design. Sad how far we have fallen to the ugly designs of today.

I remember when I was a kid (I’m currently 40) I would look through car books my dad had and I remember looking through the ford and gm car books with cars from the 50’s and 60’s and then I’d look at the Chrysler car books and think to myself,, gee,,, Chrysler stuff just looks so odd and cheap and afterthought ish.
I remember asking my dad if Chrysler couldnt afford to pay good car designers like Harley earl.
Like my aversion as a kid to broccoli, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts,,,, my tastes have changed and now I can tolerate those veggies,,,,, but those Chryslers,,,,, wow. They gave us some of the coolest stuff in the 50’s 60’s and early 70’s.

Particularly interesting, we had a 59 Dodge Station Wagon, for many years: funny , as I remember no Air Conditioner on it, but fairly well optioned with Ps/Pb, 3 Seat (; V8, Special rear, window, etc, But forget now)........... very strong car, as used several years Truck Patch deliveries and work use.......I do not remember our engine looking like this, as was very fast, and well put together.........rear facing third Seat was always interesting to set in....
Sounds like nice memories of the 59 Dodge Wagon :-)

Boy o boy, that old Dodge is really decked out to the nines! Where the heck could you possibly find the little pieces/parts for such a unique car? Engine sounds nice, did I see an additional electric radiator fan installed? Researching and finding parts for unique cars like this must be a career in itself!
Yes, this car gets driven and I like to be prepared if I get stuck in traffic a long time. Have a switch mounted to hit the fan just in case.

You have great taste :-)
That is a Custom Royal Lancer hardtop (that's why it has the knight/spear on the front fenders). This was the last year Dodge offered it. These cars didn't have a parking mechanism in the transmission and the parking brake was actually on the back of the transmission and kept the drive shaft from turning. Dodge went to a more conventional setup in 1962 with a park lever under the push buttons and parking brakes on the rear wheels. The engine is probably a B 361 as the Hemi engines were discontinued after 1957.

I saw a pair of those seats at an antique store of all places.
That's an interesting place to find them.
I know some Chrysler products from that era had self dimming rear view mirrors. I wonder if that was one of them.
Hmmm, not sure.
Chrysler Corporation restyle in 1955 was amazing, and carried through the rest of the decade. I think in the 60's they took some steps back, but most 60's cars are far less interesting then their 50's counterparts.

your vids are just like being there. I go to as many car shows as I can, but I'm limited to the cars that are there.

I enjoy Lenos vidios but they are too long and hard to watch in one sitting.

Tum aa hi gye dekhne
Glad you have come to see. Hope you see more.
The question is: "How Many Were Made, Versus How Many Survived"?
Not sure on both of your questions, however I am share I'm glad this one survived to share with you.
@@loucostabile It's funny that a lot of my high school classmates, would laugh at a car like this, if someone pulled up in a car like this, in the student parking lot!! I'll bet you that those same people would be drooling over it now!!
I just scored 59 myself not the royal though and it's a four door but a Texas car all there plus I got it to run so th at's a plus only gave 1,250 for it hasn't been on road since 87 or at least registered since 87 o am however looking for the back glass if anyone has any leads please let me know
Congrats on your new ride Curt Thacker :-)
At 2:12 I'm so glad you had him remove that tiny key out of the trunk for a better rear view. It was spoiling the whole thing for me...
Hi Steve Osgood, You're funny :-) Lou
That single brake reservoir being stuck UNDERNEATH the power booster would be the ONE thing that would keep me from buying that car. ⚠️

Hi Mike, Hmmm, I'm not sure. Lou
Starts off in green, then orange, and then red. Thats the color of the speedometer.
Hi Ryan Richards, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Lou Costabile of course! I have a 59 Dodge as well. The speedometer in these cars are really amazing. I'll post a video
My Dad bought a 59 Coronet new and to his dying day in 09 always said it was the worst car he ever owned. He constantly poured oil in it, bits and pieces loosened or fell off, radio died, etc. I was 8 when he bought it and I remember having to remove the plate sperating the tranny push buttons in order to put the second gear button back in place several times a week as the car aged 3 or 4 years. We lived up a pretty steep hill so Mom would punch that 2 button and more often than not it would fall in behind that plate and you couldn't choose another gear unless I rehung it and fed it through the plate hole again. At 10 years old or so me and my trusty phillips head got real familiar with the issue, lol. Dad kept it till 65 and traded it for a new Mustang which proved to be a much better car...not quite as stylish perhaps but far more reliable. Memories seeing this car.
Hi Dan Jackson, You're right, clearly memories of this car from your youth. Thank you for sharing and I hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
I always wondered how the Dodge Custom Royal and Plymouth Fury arrived in England with right hand steering. In 1947 the Socialist Atlee Government banned the import of US/Canadian cars . At the time these beautiful cars looked like Space Ships amongst the little grey English cars of the time.
Hi Robert, Hmmm, never thought of that.
Is this car for sale?
Not currently.
Beautiful under the hood except I would have fuel injection and an aluminum new radiator
Hi Andrew, Thank you for sharing what you'd like to see on this car, Lou

back when cars had " class " .
Hi bogiewheelman71, Glad you enjoy this car with "class" :-) Lou
I wish they would make cars like this instead of the plastic POS that run up and down the road now a days.
That's a fun idea :-)
Price ?????
No idea.
Hi again Lou! Wanted you to see the car mom and dad had for 10 years. Not the best picture, I have more pics on another computer and on CD-ROM, but my modern computer does not have CD-writer, nor have I had the strength to fix the picture out from my other computer, so I found it on Google acctually.
