Reynard Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I maybe wrong, but this looks like a boat shop interior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I'd like to point out that this is a 1955 Dodge with a 1956 Dodge front clip on it, a minus as far as I'm concerned. So what's up with that? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's up with that? The top-of-hood chrome ornament with the twin wind splits is indeed '56 Dodge. That same ornament had one, center wind split in '55. The headlamp doors and short side follow chrome flowing off them is '55. Other than that, there is no difference in the '55 to '56 front end. Unless its bumper guards? The amber lenses in the back up lamps aren't correct. Factory aircleaners and horns were BLACK of course. So, it never hurts to ask for Chrysler Stellantis build document (free) to deternine whether this was originally a Hemi car. Check the model code leading the engine number on the front center top of the engine block for a start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The 1955 & 1956 Dodges shared the same fenders, bumper face bars and grilles with the parking lamps. Some of the differences are hoods (compare the very front lower center areas), the upper grille mouldings, the front emblems & medallions, the bumper guards, the center sheet metal panels between the grilles and the lower stone deflectors just behind the bumpers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 This is a '56 for our comparisons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
