The 1958 Dodge Custom Royal D500 was a bold, high-performance full-size car that embodied the jet-age flair of late ’50s American design. With dramatic tailfins, sweeping chrome, and a wide, low stance, it turned heads wherever it went. The D500 performance package added serious muscle under the hood—typically a 361ci (5.9L) V8 with dual exhausts and up to 320 hp, depending on spec. Aimed at drivers who wanted both luxury and power, the Custom Royal D500 was a rare, stylish blend of elegance and brute force during Detroit’s golden age of excess.
