On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Minneapolis MN on 6-1-22.
We're looking at a 1958 Dodge Regal Lancer in Copper & Black Paint. The car comes with the factory 350 CI Big lock V8 engine with 295 HP, and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Randy Guyer. Randy’s had this car since 2008 where he bought it at the Barrett Jackson Auction. He thought he would just throw out one bid and next thing you know he owned the car. It was the start of his trip down the road of collecting finned Mopars from 1957-1962.

Great film work and amazing content. Keep up the good work.

This guy has an incredible collection of vintage Mopars, and this 1958 Dodge Lancer is no exception! It is loaded with lots of style and a ton of chrome. I didn't realize that Mopar released a 350 engine for only the 1958 model year. I love the black on copper color scheme. That really sets it off big time! Good job Lou!
Hi Michael, Happy to read you appreciate this collection :-) You're right, this car is loaded with lots of style and tons of chrome. Just the way we like it. Appreciate the kind words on this video, Lou
For a 350 motor in such a large car tells me it had to have a higher compression, like 12 to 1 to squeeze more ponies and torque to get the job done.
@@billyhndrsn4542 350 was the base Dodge Royal engine and was, with dual quads, optional on the Plymouth - 305 horses. The D500 had a dual quad 361 with 320 horsepower, 333 with Fuel Injection!
Anybody have any idea why that 350 motor was a one off (1958 only). I mean they don't engineer engines for only one year on purpose as that would be too costly. Did they find problems with it or what?
@@nonelost1 Probably just didn't make sense, as they had the 361. Too close in size.
What Chrysler was able to accomplish during this time period is really an automotive milestone that surpassed all the competition at the time. These cars were truly works of art.
Hi Mark M, Thank you for viewing, sharing, and happy to read you enjoy this work of art :-) Lou
Especially the turbine car. They got gas mileage up to 12 I think. As much as some cars of the time.
For a second there, it almost looks like Christine, only this is a Dodge rather than a Plymouth. Really cool '50s car!
Hi LITTLE, Thanks for sharing you enjoy this "Really cool '50s car!" :-) Lou
Oh the days of futuristic leaded gas big block, over the top cars!
I so miss seeing cars like these when I was a kid.
It was a vastly different world then.
Far better days than times today.

Wonderful color combo. One of the greatest front ends of all time. Thanks Lou and Randy.👏
Hi Ramon, Happy to read you enjoy the colors and front end of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
This is a beautiful car. Chrysler had some nice body styles and color combinations back then. Also back then you could tell year, make, and model of the car from a mile away, now they all look like Tupperware cars until you are five feet away they all look the same. Thanks for sharing this with us I always love looking at these treasures you find.
Hi Czech Mate, Happy to share this "treasure" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
So nice. The late fifties dodges are definitely under appreciated.
Hi zinc orbie, Happy to be able to share this one with you :-) Lou
Late 1950’s very early 60’s the classic years of U S automobile styling, and of course this Dodge Lancer is no exception. Unusual color, but simply beautiful.
HI Derek, Happy to read "simply beautiful" :-) Lou
The fabulous 1958 Dodge Regal Lancer is a traffic stopper. This super car tells you :"get off my way, the street is mine!". Driving it makes you the king of the roads. Thanks for the video.
Hi Juan, Happy to read you think this car is "fabulous" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
Cool colors and restoration!
Hi Brock, Happy to read you enjoy the colors and restoration of this car :-) Lou
Damn fine looking Dodge!!
Nice :-)
P.S. This gorgeous car has more metal in glorious chrome than a whole fleet of Toyotas. This is cruising with Class & Style man. This is before the EPA destroyed the auto industry as we knew it.
Hi Craig, Happy to share this cruising with Class & Style car with you :-) Lou
It seems like the EPA was made up of haters who fully intended to destroy our auto industry.
Sublime. No wonder this blissful set of wheels has won National Awards.
High praise :-)
Thanks Lou and Randy. Randy has wonderful Chrysler products, and he owns more cars than I always think. Every time there's a video on one of Randy car's I think it's the last one, and then another turns up within a short period. I love that. And I would love visiting Randy's shop to slowly peruse the details of each car he owns. I'm so glad that randy decided to do vintage Chrysler products. And that you keep bringing his cars to us, Lou.
That dress shirt is great, a brilliant use of matching-in car upholstery. The copper color used throughout this car is magnificent. And this car certainly earned the awards. I think this is the most deluxe Dodge from the '50's that I've seen. It's dressed up like a DeSoto and has some Chrysler details too.
Lou, please slow down and focus for the brochures. A number of us want to stop and read. You used to do a good job with that, but this year it's become impossible to stop the video and then have clarity to read the print.
Do you have a web site? Is there a possibility of offering still shots on your web site?
Hi discerningmind, Happy to read you're enjoying Randy's collection. Good news! There are 10 cars videoed from his collection, and 5 are on this Channel now. so stay tuned. Good point on slowing down, I'll work on that. Still shots are a great idea, however it would take more editing time then I have. Website is www.MyCarStoryWithLou.com

Hi, Lou! "You've got chrome, you've got bumpers, you've got badges, you've got jets!" Yep, and you've also got teeth, you've got two-tone, you've got sparkles, and, lest we forget, you've got FINS! (Er...Swept Wings!) Funny how Randy didn't know what a rare car he had coming out of that auction, or how his collector goals would change!
Thanks to both of you for spotlighting this Forward Look masterpiece and taking us along for a Regal ride!
Hi iswc27, Happy to share this "Forward Look masterpiece" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful car.... I wish car styling creativity would return like this ..
Hi AC DC, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Well even if styling and creativity does not come back like this.....you're on the right UA-cam Channel to see what I think you and I enjoy, Lou
If they thought the yuppies and computer-freaks would buy such a car, they would bring it back in a heart beat. Sadly, though, they will only buy Japanese.
This car is a masterpiece, just mind boggling. We've covered all the adjectives but can't believe this is a dodge and not top of line Chrysler it's just so buried with goodness and extras. It totally deserves any and all awards it competes for. Wow. Thank you Lou on a fantastic youtube feature and thanks Mr. Mopar Randy for another rare American treasure.
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read "This car is a masterpiece" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
Great car!! I wonder if! Mopar had a d_500 version ?, Of this car!! , They had the h.p.383,& the hemi in some of their dodge models,, powerful! Cars!! I had a ,56 d_500, fast!& Then some!!!, Gene, calif...
That car just screams class , what a decade of such beautiful cars lou, especially this beauty!! Thanks for the video
Hi Bruce, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
My favorite color for this is glacier green met. Beautiful pearl mint color, which perfectly showcased that wonderful wonderful class. I did not however, expect a rosen gold mid metallic body color, I assumed it was dusty rose or something akin. Rather amazing, and I've finally found a color choice that goes with chrome..metallic.
I’m a 58 model. When I saw Regal Lancer, which I’ve never heard of, I was down. This dude is the king of classic Mopars!
Hi Roy Boy, Happy to read you and this car are both 1958's. Stay tuned, there will be more from the King of Classic Mopars (and the next one will not be a Mopar), Lou

Actually Lou, I was born in 58. I have a Cougar from 68. I do enjoy your videos.
The 50’s were so exciting, I wasn’t born until ‘59. Thank you Lou for sharing these cars.

Gorgeous, flawless example of the epitome of Dodge design in 1958.
High praise :-)
What an unbelievable collection of awesome cars! The 58-'59 Dodge is one of the cars on my list!
Hi C Howard, Happy to share Randy's collection with you. Good news! There will be more from his collection so stay tuned. Glad to read this year Dodge fits on your car list, Lou
@@loucostabile When you said, "good news," I thought you were going to say some of them are for sale :)
What I like about this collection 1) these early mopars r considered some of the first hot rods.2) his collection has such over the top restoration I love it..I don't think these cars ever looked this good back in the day.
Hi Richard, Happy to read you're enjoying Randy's collection. I'm not sure if they looked this good from the factory, but I can say they look good, and it's my pleasure to share them with you, Lou
So gorgeous, love the color combination, thanks Lou for sharing this with us. My dad had a 58 coronet 2 Dr sedan, flat head 6, power flight transmission, egg shell white. I wish he would have given it to me in 1972 instead of trading it in on another car, they only gave him 200 bucks for it and it was in very good condition.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read your Dd had a cool car :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou
Good lesson there for the dads Jeff - here we are 50 years later and it still stings as a missed opportunity for you.
I know how you feel. In 1969, my dad was looking at buying a new car. I tried to get him to get one with a V-8 and power steering and power brakes and an automatic. He decided to give me a "lesson" in life. He explained he always had, and will always have, six banger stick... except one. He decided to go all out in 1957. He bought a two-door Ford wagon (Nomad looking). It had the big Thunderbird engine, and P/S and P/B and auto. It was a huge lemon. Nothing ever worked right on it. But, he was stuck with it for 4 years, because he only bought a new car every four years. He said he was never happier than when he traded it in, in 1961, for a six banger stick wagon. I was like WHAT!!!!!!!!! You had a '57 Ford two-door wagon. You have any idea what I would give to have that car now??? I don't think I talked to him for a month. But....... mom stepped in anyway. She said if he didn't buy one with power steering and an automatic... HE would be running us two kids around instead of her for doctor appointments and music lessons and church group and EVERYWHERE else. He got a 1969 Ford wagon with the 351, P/S and auto. Was the BEST car he ever owned. And, he kept the old '66 for work. Same deal. They were going to give him $1,000 on trade. He said how much with no trade cash??? They took another $800 of the price. He was like, so you were actually only going to give me $200 for the trade??? And, instead of the '57 Ford two-door wagon... I wound up with the '66 battleaxe. The 240 six started getting a loud squeaking noise. We took the valve cover off... and the front rocker arm was dry as a bone. Dad took it off, and put a blob of yellow grease on it, and put it back together. Did than every six months for TWO years. Basically whenever it started squeaking again. Then I traded it in on a '71 AMC Ambassador. You just cannot kill a 240/300 Ford six.
This is workmanship at its best ! The color scheme is grand . Congrats !
Hi John, Happy to read you appreciate the workmanship on this car :-) Glad you like the color scheme too, Lou
I'm a Mopar guy, but never heard of a 'Regal' Lancer..just a Royal Lancer. So I learned something today! Great car!
HI Adam, Happy to read you learned something new today :-) I'm learning all the time from the Care Takers and I find that to be so much fun. Glad you like this "Great car!" Lou
I enjoy Randy's collection of rare cars you don't see anymore love the colors with the chrome I wish they style cars today with the same effort as then
Hi Larry, My pleasure sharing Randy's collection with you. You're right, lots of colors and chrome with his car. Lou
Anyone remember the sound of those non clutching mechanical fans? That sound brings back memories, it sounded like when you got on it and the RPM got up, every bird around was in danger of being sucked up into the radiator! I forgot all about that sound of vintage cars compared to modern engines.
Thanks for the audio nostalgia treat down memory lane Lou...
Hi zulumax1, Happy to read this car brings back audio memories :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome. Lou
I think the fan clutch came into being on mainstream cars near the end of the 50s, but until about the 80s, was mostly found on cars with air conditioning. By the 80s, almost all cars had air. The very 1st car I know of with a fan clutch was the Will St. Claire of the 20s.
Beautiful. My grandfather had a 58 Dodge (years before I was around) that he bought new.. I never saw it. This was a great detailed tour
Thanks to you all for bringing it out
Hi Jeff, Happy to read your Grandfather had a cool 1958 :-) My pleasure sharing the details with you. You're welcome, Lou
This Dodge is amazing! Absolute class! My Dad and Mom bought a new 1958 Dodge Royal when I was eight! Thank you for showing this car, Lou!

Hi lonnyjaw, Happy to receive a "WOW!" from you :-) You're right, this one has lots of details. You're welcome, Lou

A real design masterpiece in great colors - This car is practically unknown. Love the real tail light, vastly over designed... I'm not a 50's era car guy but this one and the 56 Lincoln are masterpieces.
Hi Alex, Happy to read you enjoy this "masterpiece" :-) Lou
I know it may not be factory, but a white top would look great on it, and match the interior.

Nice looking Dodge. 1958 was the best year for US carmakers.
Hi Lennart, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Actually, 1958 was a down year in sales. So many '57s were sold and '58 was a recession year.
I'm just glad that all the lights worked.
Nice :-)
I would love to see this fellow's garage! I love those old Mopars. This one is exceptional!!
Hi Kelly, Happy to read you think this car is "exceptional!" :-) Good news! ALL Randy's cars in the collection are videoed. Stay tuned, Lou
Thanks Lou for showing this masterpiece on wheels what a beautiful car it might not be built for speed but it certainly has road presence

This is my all time favorite car, and I grew up with a babysitter that had a 58 Dodge Corrent convertible, red and and I truly loved it 👌 58 was technically a one off year for the big 3 in Detroit and it truly is my favorite year of cars

Beautiful! Pure art. I like the bronze and black combo. You see coral and black from that time, but the coral is sometimes too pink. I like this a lot better.
Hi Joseph, High praise for this "Pure art" :-) Lou
I love all the video pieces that Lou Costabile does. I have seen them all. Lou has a warm approachable, affable persona. He has the demeanor to be a media personality. And here comes the tough part he is not, I am sure he will not like. I will say this with all the respect in the world. Take it as a compliment please. You are HANDSOME! And you have a following among men who like antique cars and who like me are gay. Please I beg you don’t be offended. Take it to the grave with you as another feather in your cap. Your father had a fine art brush and your mother had a canvas to match that fine art brush. Thank you.
Hi elgustoesmio chupaki, High praise :-) Thank you, Lou
The Regal Lancer was a fantastically gorgeous car. It didn't sell well, but it moved Dodge up-market in the public's mind, helping to squeeze DeSoto out.
Hi Michael, Happy to read this is a "fantastically gorgeous car" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
You know, about 1 or two years ago, I was watching an episode on You Tube of "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gage. He was interviewing a gentleman in California who owns several (and that is putting it lightly!) classic 1950's Mopars. The guy's name is Aivar. Well of the several cars that Aivar owns, one, a 1958 Chrysler New Yorker convertible in green took me off the ground. I have always been a GM guy (because overall through most of Automotive time, GM held the stirrup of Design)... But I admitted to myself that day that I found myself transfixed by one 1958 Chrysler New Yorker, that had I been around in 1958 and able to buy a new car, that that new car would have had to have been a new Chrysler automobile! Then and there, I knew that a 1958 Chevrolet Impala, or 1958 Cadillac El Dorado, or Corvette just wouldn't have worked out for me. Chrysler would have been my marque! WELL, today, seeing this 1958 Dodge Regal Lancer, and it being the Spring Edition model that it was that only came in few color combinations, my eyeballs popped out of my head! Lou, you did a great job on this one! And this man apparently knows how to maintain a thoroughly beautiful car collection. I couldn't find ANYTHING that I did not like about this 1958 Dodge! Have I ever looked at a 1958 Dodge before? Of course I had... And I can also tell you that I was not a big fan of the taillamps... Mind you I like the 1958 better than the 1957 with its improvements... But I like the 1958 Dodge better than the 1959 models too. TODAY I decided for myself that the 1958 Dodge is just about the handsomest cars to have come out of the 1950's!!!! And this springtime special made it so. Check out Aivar's 1960 Dodge Matador 2dr hardtop though. The 1960 Dodge is also one of my favorite Dodge's.... I am thankful for Mr Virgil Exner's graceful handiwork for Chrysler too. Sorry his health was not where it needed to be though! Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Peter, Happy to read your "eyeballs popped out of your head!" High praise :-) Thanks for the tip on Alvar's cars. Hope we meet someday soon. Appreciate the kind words on the video, Lou

Hi Gary, Happy to read you enjoy this looks of this car :-) Ughhh missed the speedo... You're welcome, Lou
I fell in love with Mopars when my blue collar dad bought his first new car, a 1955 Dodge Cornet. Three tone green, it was so distinctive over other cars my friends families had and it was Mopars for me forever. God has blessed me financially,, but I buy only Mopars not the Mercedes and BMWs like my neighbors, I still drive a Jeep, a Crossfire roadster and a Challenger R/T. Thanks Dad.
So, I lived this era and my love for “Forward Look” finned Chrysler products knew no bounds. Absolutely, without doubt they were the most beautiful cars of the era.
Fast forward and the beauty of this Dodge is even more striking. I would love to relive my youth at the wheel of this Dodge, or a DeSoto Aventurer, or Chrysler 300C or my total dream car a 1962 Chrysler Imperial convertible. No Cadillac for me, never, ever.
Hi Bill, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Dads 1st car :-) Glad to read you're true to the Brand. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Job finding this one Lou I know you have many collector connections I just absolutely love these 50s and 60s American classics. Definitely the years of automobiles to collect. Keep up the good work my friend.
Hi David, Well worth the fun trip to MN to share these cars with you :-) Lou
Exner excellence! He designed most of the Forward Look cars 1955-1962. At Dodge, he worked with Dodge Chief of Styling Maury Johnson. The '58 is more than 90% same as the 1957 model, but the front end is more refined, getting a few cues from Harley Earl's Cadillacs at GM. The lower chrome bumpers are same as '57, but everything but the headlamp assemblies are different.
Hi Dejael, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
The 350 in this car is the first of Chrysler's "B block," engines, like the 361, 383 and the 400 that came later. They were very nice engines.

Hi Dick, My pleasure sharing this car with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hello again Lou! Just came here after viewing the '60 Pontiac, and I just had to come to this video to see this car. I did see quite a few '58 Dodges back in the day, but never a Regal Lancer! As the owner mentioned, it was rare when new, and even more so today. I can guess that no more than about 10 of these Regal Lancer cars are left. This car is a work of art. It looks so nice that if I owned it, I'd be too afraid to drive it, what with all these crazy drivers in 6500-lb. SUV's yakking on cell phones and zigzagging on the road! I see that the owner is truly devoted to late '50s Mopars! This world needs more people like him!
As always, Thanks again Lou! I'll be looking for more! _(7/2/2022)_
Hello Know Bodies Full, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of seeing this car :-) Glad to read this one is a "work of art". You're welcome. Lou
No need to be in fear if you have the D500 package. All you have to do is floor it, and you will be gone!
A serious piece of American Rolling Art. What a treat guys. . . :>/
High praise :-)
Great stuff Lou, an incredible collection.
If you wanted anything along these lines in Australia in 1958, the best you could hope for would be a 1958 four door Desoto Diplomat or Dodge custom Royal.
Also a very very limited number of two door Plymouth Belvederes also made there way here.
Hi Peter, Thank you for the kind words :-) Appreciate you sharing what it would be like in 1958 in Australia. Lou
A few years ago, I saw a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D-500 at the Back to the Fifties Show at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. That is also a rare car, and I've only seen one of those.

Hey Lou, what a gorgeous classic car, sooo Rare for sure. Hey Lou, that owner Randy has quite a few classic cars, maybe he can let you take one home for a few months. You would definitely take care of it too because it’s a classic like you. Great job brother. 👍💚✌️❤️😎
Hey Gary, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this car, and glad to read you enjoy the looks too. Taken one home sounds like a fun idea. Appreciate the kind words, Lou
Hey, Randy…how about requesting I get this beauty in your will? LOVE, LOVE,
LOVE, any 1950’s car in copper/bronze. Drive safe…nice shirt, too!

My Aunt Rose inherited a 1958 Dodge from her boyfriend. It was black and green. it was NOT a Royal Lancer beause we saw in this video it did not come in green. I'm not sure if it was green and black in the inisde tood. I just know I thought it was really cool. The dash in 1958 doesn't seem as Aerospace as some of the other Chrysler products. I like it. I loved my aunt's car too. Not sure what happened to her 1958 Dodge, but later she had a 1962 Dodge that was white, plain jane looking, not near as nice as the 1958. Though I'd love to have a '62 today!!! Thanks for the informative video. They are always great!
