Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an exceptionally straight and rust free and great daily driving survivor of this very rare 'Mopar Big Fin' 1959 Dodge Coronet Lancer 2 door Hardtop Coupe in a striking Tri-Tone 'White over Gun Metal Gray over Pearl Pale Pink' color with a replacement crate 360 5. 7L V8 4BBL (53020005AB) Heavy Duty Mopar block with the top-of-the-line in its day push button 3 speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission with dual exhausts and loaded with factory options including: 6 way power front swivel seat, heater & defroster, power brakes, power steering, deluxe wheel covers & new correct Wide White 'Coker' classic Radial tires!
A wonderful example from Dodge in the 'Swept Wing' era, a reference to the bold fins and glittery front ends which highlighted Virgil Exner's dramatic all new in 1957 styling for Chrysler products. One of the Chrysler corporation's stand out designs which had a modest facelift in 1958 before the ultimate incarnation of 1959 with the low-line hardtops now obviously boasting the most collector interest today.
Dodge shared Chrysler's new for '57 torsion bar front suspension and the optional top-of-the-line 3 speed pushbutton Torqueflite automatic transmission.
This particular car is a superb and striking example with a completely straight and honest body with absolutely no rust and a mostly very original true survivor which was obviously always garaged and which recently come out of dry storage from where it had been driven only sparingly.
Simply put, the Dodge Coronet Lancer of '59 was one of the most exciting American cars produced, combining iconic styling, performance and luxury, and with very few remaining on the road, this is an extremely unusual opportunity to own a very striking and great daily driving example of this extraordinarily rare and very desirable original 1959 Dodge Coronet Lancer 2 door Hardtop coupe in very fine daily driving condition ready and for any classic American car or Mopar enthusiast to enjoy or collect today!
