1956 Dodge 500 and an interesting gadget..

Not sure if this car was ever built..


Yes they were. 117 of them in fact, both coupes and convertibles, with 215ci Red Ram Hemi power.
They cost more than a top-of-the-line Cadillac in 1957, but reportedly were purchased by Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Eddie Fisher, Glenn Ford and Desi Arnaz among others.
