One of the newest, most exciting automobiles to appear on the American motoring scene in recent
years is the glamorous 1956 Dodge Four-Door Lancer hardtop. All of the youth and vigor of true hardtop,
styling has been skillfully combined with the com fort and convenience of the four-doer sedan. While the
car shown above is in the Custoy toyal series, the same body style is being offered in the lower priced
Royal and Coronet aeries.
