1955 Dodge La Femme
No Reserve. This 1955 Dodge La Femme is one of the most distinctive specialty models of the 1950s, created by Dodge specifically for the growing number of women entering the new-car market. Based on the Custom Royal Lancer two-door hardtop, the La Femme featured a unique feminine-themed presentation that set it apart from anything else in the Dodge lineup. Its signature pink-and-white color treatment, coordinated interior appointments and elegant mid-century styling made it instantly recognizable, while the sweeping chrome trim, wraparound windshield and hardtop roofline gave it the upscale appearance expected from Dodge's top-tier models of the period.Produced only for 1955 and 1956, the La Femme is remembered today as one of the most unusual and collectible factory marketing concepts of the postwar era. Original cars were equipped with special interior materials and matching accessories that could include a purse, raincoat, umbrella and cosmetic case, all coordinated to the car's decor. Combined with Dodge V8 power, flamboyant styling and extremely limited production, the La Femme has become a sought-after conversation piece among collectors of rare 1950s automobiles and represents a fascinating snapshot of American automotive culture at the height of the chrome-and-tailfin era. MILEAGE: 55372. VIN: 34879539.
