- Today we take a look at the 1957 Dodge Custom Royal with only 9700 miles on the odometer. This car came to me with a seized engine. It took a bunch of work to get it back on the road and also preserve its originality.

Man I’m so happy this car made it into your hands! The care, the smart unobtrusive upgrades, just fantastic to see this lovely old Dodge set up for another sixty+ years of history.
Thanks for this uplifting video 👍🏻
Thanks we are doing our best to take good care of it
I remember this car from a car show in Strongsville Ohio (Cleveland area) in 1977! It was like brand new.
Wow that is amazing. Thanks for commenting
In the video you saw a small gold placard while I was checking the trunk. It was for the milestone car society, Ohio chapter, Strongsville Ohio, 1977.... Small world!
It's back in Ohio !!
This era produced some amazingly well built cars. Awesome ride...
They sure did 😎
Yes & no. These Dodges were both powerful and beautiful, but they started to rust while still sitting in the showrooms as the legend goes. That's why so few remain today. Bad steel. But yeah, the 50's had some of the prettiest cars hands down. And they were simple too.
That interior is outrageous!
Awesome 57 Dodge Custom Royal, thanks so much for taking care of this Gem classic! Hold onto it as long as you can, that classic will love you too. 👍😎⭐️🔥🏆🥇✌️🍀
I think I have photos of this car taken at a car show in Strongsville Ohio in 1977. I will post them if I can find them. I own a 1958 Dodge Coronet that my grandfather purchased new. I had it at that show.
That is an awesome time capsule! I'm glad you are caring for it like you are!
It is definitely a project that needs constant attention
Great looking Dodge! Glad to see that you did not try to make the car something that it was not ment to be. Only doing a few things to make the car safe & easy to repair (like the breaks). I realy like it when a person respects a classic automobile and tries to keep it as original as possible Great job!
Thanks Robert. We try to keep our projects tasteful and functional. Sadly the 1957 Custom Royal is no longer in my possession, but it is in good hands
This was my first car in the mid 90's, I loved it and wish I still had it! Mine had the Mint green with white.
About 20 years ago I was at a car show and saw a guy who had built up a '59 Custom Royal. He had retrofitted a 440+6 under the hood. It was jet black and had blacked out steel wheels that looked like they belonged on a Nascar track. It was so cool. Ever since then I've had an itch to build up a finned car. Thanks for showing us this, it's obviously too nice to modify too much. But it's a superb car the way it is.
They are definitely some of the coolest cars of their era
Definitely. Also way ahead of their time. These cars are the reason GM scrapped their initial Impala design and went back to the drawing board for ‘59.
This one brings back memories, from 1962 when I was four.
For a few months, my father drove an identical 1957 Dodge...color and body style. But these cars were prone to mechanical issues, so he traded it in for a 1955 Pontiac.
I kind of wish he held onto it a little longer. As young as I was, I preferred the styling of the Dodge. But he said the car was "sick," and that was that.
The amazing interior is so pristine it's a tiny miracle. Of course the oil turned to plastic about 1975 - Great channel amigo, I am working on a 1941 Dodge luxury liner . It's the opposite, pristine original engine and a body sitting outside forever with the windows gone.
You know your automobiles - impressive.
Thanks for watching. The 1957 Custom Royal actually just went to a new home. I was very happy to save such an awesome automobile!
I remember when I was a little boy looking under these cars and all you could see was just slush of oil everywhere this is the first one I see that looks original first time to see one like this is a pleasure😮
That's exactly what my mom drove except it was a 2 door in that same 2 tone. Sure brings back some fuzzy memories. She traded it in in 62 when I was 6 for a new Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk. My dad drove a Porsche 356 cabrio and he traded that in for a new MB 190SL from the same dealership. Studebaker imported Mercedes Benz in the 50's and early 60s and sold them through their dealerships. They even had consecutive license plates.
Beautiful rescue restore
GREAT CAR AND JOB!!!! I HAVE A DODGE CUSTOM ROYALE 1958...
Keep it alive. not many are still out there. thanks!
The best original I've seen
Pretty cool Vintage Dodge 👍 You did a real nice job keepin it Classic.
Thanks that was the goal for sure
That's awesome
Thanks dude 😎
I have 3 1956 Chrysler cars. Windsor Nassau 2 door hard top, 300B and New Yorker more door sedan.
Awesome 😎
good job
You waxed it lol. That is the hard part!
just the basics is right. perfect car!
What a great find, just a nice car for a Sunday cruise. Would of thought it was a 270ci. Red ram or maybe that was gone in 1957.
not sure when the 270 ended but this one is definitely a 325 Super Red Ram
@@TheDodgeWhisperer Super Red Ram [ kool ) probably has a little more usable low end torque then the 270. I must tell u here in N. J. These types of original rare cars are missing now at local car shows. Are shows used to be good variety of different cars but now only popular muscle cars so its getting boring.
That's a beautiful car. Thanks for sharing and take care ✌️
Nice work 👏
That is awesome and the seats are crazy looking man what a car you got a sweet ride there for sure
The interior is freaking awesome for sure
This is my favorite body style of all time, would love to have one, but I am retired now
Wish that 1957 Dodge Royal Lancer with a V-8 engine, 2 door hardtop with factory fender skirts, and dual antennas at the rear. For 1958, Dodge uses 4 headlights.
My Dad had a 2 Dr Hardtop Black on Black. My brother and I use to call it the Badmobile
The Golden Torpedo
I love it!
I love the 57 to 59 custom royals the 57 with the teeth on the bottom bumper very scary looking can you imagine seeing that in your rear view mirror
Simply, DeLuxe!
Damn! I love that car. I have some videos of it on my channel.
It needs to be driven!
WOW nice car
You know what they call a quarter pounder in France? A Royal with cheese.
No way!
You need to Dragy it!!!
Dude that would be awesome 😎
In Canada, the Dodge of this equivelent would be called a Mayfair and was a Plymouth.
I turned 11 in 1957
What a find !!! 👍 Don’t let Duddie work on that one !!!! 🥴
HAHA yep its quite a car!
Wow what a beautiful 57 Dodge. They are only original once. I like how you did some modern upgrades. Especially the disc brakes. Can I ask where did you get a conversion from? I own a 57 Belvedere sedan, it had a similar life as your Dodge, its low miles and unrestored. Was a Georgia car now living in Australia because I imported it about 10 years ago. I want to put disc brakes on the front. Thanks for sharing yours.
Try scarebird brakes. Thanks for watching!
That's like new
Pretty damn close!
I wonder if ol virgil had thoughts of evil dancing in his head when he penned the drawings for this body style seems 55 to 60 had some of the scariest looking cars from all manufacturers buick, Olds etc etc
What a nice find. I am curious as to what front disc brake components you used? Regards from Ody Slim
the kit I used was from AAJ Brakes. unfortunately last I heard he was not doing well, but his website is still live aajbrakes.com/
@@TheDodgeWhisperer Thank You. I have a 65 Monaco with 4 wheel drums that needs some attention!
Amazing shape. Does that early hemi do pretty well?
It's actually a polyshere motor but yes it has quite a bit of get up and go
Hermoso
I had this ,,,325 ci Hemi ,,,,D 500 really fast,,,,,
Cool find. But why does everyone have to do a speech/narrative delivery like Derek on Vice Grip Garage? Could have stood on your own merit on this one.
My Mom's Car. Hemmi D 500
same color,,,, very fast
First!!! Beat that other dirty hippie....
You better you had a head start lol
doesn't it bring joy to your day when you get an opportunity to Beat a filthy hippie😈
That Dodge is cooler than Rat$hit.
Do you still have this 1957 Dodge ?
I sure do!
@@TheDodgeWhisperer wanna trade ?
I am not really into trades, but what are you thinking. I value the 57 @ about 20-25k
1972 Dodge Demon
I guess your not interested in a 340 4 speed Demon. Oh well. See ya !
Is it forsale
It sure is!
46th

Can you believe this was a working class man’s car? My gay uncle had one in white and pink..
