Welcome to our car site, she is a 1959 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer. On our vacation during Christmas 2007 in Beckley West Virginia my father-in-law told me there was a 58 Plymouth Fury around the corner for sale, so I went and checked her out, better for me it turned out to be one of my dream cars, and in great shape. We checked her over twice and decided to buy her. I drove her 7 hours to my home, what a great ride. We had a great time the first year of cruise in's and car shows. Now we are in the second season enjoying our ride as much as we can. New parts include the interior totally redone and the chrome re-chromed. The new engine is here and will be installed soon. New parts are never seem to stop coming in. Working on our ride never seems to end. It is an addicting hobby.
