"An interesting '55 footnote was La Femme, a special limited-edition Custom Royal Lancer hardtop painted pink and white. As the name implied, it sported accoutrements for m'lady, including a folding umbrella and a fitted hand bag stored in the back of a front seat. La Femme returned for '56 (the women's movement was still many years away), but though briefly considered for volume sale, no more than a handful were produced."
