"I really love the 57-58 Custom Royal Lancer as well"  Me too! My dad bought a '58 two tone green one in about 61-62 and I remember the speedo had little bucket sections that "filled up" as your speed increased. One night the old man called home drunk and my mother had to go back to Grand Bend, to pick him up. To say she was pissed would be an understatement and according to her, she had the poor old Custom Royal doing way over a 100 mph, when the retreaded front tires dad had cheaped out on, threw their treads and in doing so, the treads slapped the back of the headlight mounting area when they flew off, and there's mom at 100+mph, with two front tires throwing their treads, in the dark with no headlights left! This should've ended with me being short one parent, but the old girl not only didn't swamp the Custom Royal, she picked up the old man and drove the damned thing home! That was a car!  :cheers: Marilyn!
