Hi Ed, as you probably know, I have always been a believer in the Tri-Years.
Lets face it, I love all the Exner products, but ALL have a distinct place in history.
Love it, or hate it..... the 57 to 59 years of ALL Chrysler products are linked.
I hate it that the 59 Plymouth models are set aside.
100% of the drive train/chassis is shared, and doors/door handles,seats, arm rests etc.
Way more than a Tri-Chevy.
If I am not right, then why did my 1959 PlySoto have a RHD 1957 Dodge Dashboard?????
All Plymouth,PlySoto,Plodge and Dodge from 1957 -1959 used the same dash if they were RHD.
Why do ALL 1960 Plymouth dashes appear in a 1960-61 RHD Dodge?
Have ya seen a 1961 DeSoto Diplomat....I have and it is a '61 Dodge.
Distinct also are the '55-'56 models...... and the '60-'61 models with their unitary bodies etc.
The '62's are still in the Virgil stable, by being plucked versions of the '61 models.
There are 3 differing eras of the Exner years.
55-56....57-59....60-62. All else is Bollocks.
Long live Tri-Plys.  |

| Thanks, Ed. The green Savoy belonged to Mike Bond [safety mike on the FL board]. A nice car, I got to see it at Tulsarama. ---John

| I saw it too. Think he said it was a 400 with the six pack set up. He was enjoying burning rubber in the parking garage when I saw the pickle.

Hi Charlie.
You are right about the green car, it has got 57 hubcaps.
59 Hubcaps are very similar to 57's but with the edition of 8 flutes that come in from the rim so the red 59 has got the right caps on.
This is made more confusing by the fact some 57 Fury caps looked like 59 caps but with 8 concave gold circles running round the rim.
All of them can be found on this site.

Take a look at this site. Look toward the bottom and not the '57 Belvedere convertible in purple.
The license plate is New Jersey, but I 've never seen this one in person.

I just noticed my car is a 57-58-59 Plymouth. As you all know it's basically
a 1959 Belvedere with a 1958 front and rear clip and 58 interior...but at least
the instrument cluster is from a 1957 Belvedere (with dots)
So it's the only known 3-in-one Plymouth!  |

I think so...it's the first, the one and only 57/8/9 2dr HT! 
Almost like good ol' Johnny Cash used to sing:
| Quote: |
Uh!, what model is it?
Well, it's a 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 automobile.
It's a 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67...

What's the story on your car now Roland?
We haven't seen any pictures with her in Cool locations with some lovely looking Deutches Madchene close by yet.

I'm sorry, not much progress on her during the last two months. I'm still
looking for a few parts and I finally found a shop to recore my leaking
radiator. This will cost about 400EUR. I'm still hoping to get her on the road
again before summer is over...but there's not much time left!  |

Hi Roland,
While the radiator is off, why not ask them to stick an extra row in the rad.
This will aid cooling of the old girl. (and help the trans keep cool as the trans cooler is in the bottom)
I did this on my 59 DeSoto and on the hottest days it never went past a 1/4 on the gauge.
The top tank on the rad is big enough to accommodate an extra row no problem |
