'59 Plymouth Forum

Dan, I need to register for the show. A question: is this the right classification? It's the only one that seemed to fit. Chrysler Classification:430: FULL SIZE - 1955-61 CARS. Thanks much. Gary, yup - that's the right class. And 59PLYMOUTH.NET is the right club! Glad to hear we'll be seeing you at...

A belated Happy Easter, Mark - and, to all! What, no bunnies?!?

Thanks Will! They are having a heckuva time matching the color, though. The shop shoots Sherwin Williams, and back in 1959 S-W made "copper spice" which was a Chrysler color, not a Plymouth color. But as you can see from the chips, they are virtually indistinguishable: Chrysler.JPG compare.jpg Inter...

She'll start!!

Carlisle Events is promoting T-Shirts for the Chrysler Nationals, where of course the 50th Anniversary of the Dodge Charger Daytona & 500 threatens to upstage us: Capture.JPG We can't let 'em. Time to resurrect the '59 Plymouth T-Shirt, in a 60th Anniversary Edition... This time, not in Dead-of-Summ...

Sometimes, you just gotta find a guy who knows what he's doing. Here's the same piece of headlight trim - after the company in Pottstown PA treated it, and McNichols in Michigan treated it. It's a miracle! I'll be sending the piece I got from Ed Ober next.

No, he's referring to the trim piece that fits below the grille itself:

A harrowing tale today! Faulkner's emergency brake doesn't work very well, and I held the car in place on the flatbed with the brake pedal, ramp tilted up, while the driver locked the wheels down. Somehow, he forgot this between my house and the shop. He pulled in, elevated the ramp, and undid the c...

i have a nos lower

Hi, do you mean the lower base piece for the grilles? I have NOS for both sides - but, thanks.

Didnt Ed Ober had a NOS grille laying around? Actually, it was a reanodized grille. The driver's side came out very nice - the passenger side, not so nice. Ed sold them to me for what he paid for them, maybe 20 years ago! I'm thinking I'll try my luck on that piece with a mid-western reanodizer tha...

Faulkner's on the street, waiting for the tow truck to begin his two month vacation in the body shop! Martha, jealously eyeing Faulkner's spot for months now, slides into his place...

I still haven't gotten my copy, Dick I can't wait to see it.

Sadly, Tom doesn't have his Belvy anymore - he sold it last year (you can read about it here). But perhaps Tom will still join us.

I hope.




With "The Fury Chrysler Should Have Built"

Steve, yup! I have a pair of dual rear antennas. They won't be operable - Dick cut off the piece that protrudes for me - so all I'll have to do is drill holes for the mounting screws.

Last Saturday I went to the body shop where Faulkner will get some cosmetic body work done, and be repainted in the original Bronze color - with a lot of pix loaded up on my iPad. The good news: The estimate is less than I expected I would have to spend (although, we know how that goes :o ). The bad...

OK - orders have been placed for the folks who signed up. Latecomers can still get banners by dealing directly with Signs.com - PM me privately, and I will provide you with contact info. Don't forget - The New... '59 Plymouth Is Here!
