The Hill (2023)
FB.jpg The Hill hits home (no pun intended) if you grew up in a smaller town. Growing up in the bible belt, I understand that strict, moral parental values are hard to let go of when children want to walk a different path in life. Rickey Hill and his Father rarely see eye to eye - the conflict of b...

Carlisle 2024!
Today I signed up Faulkner and Valerie for Carlisle 2024. We're goin'! Are you? If you're bringing your '59, you'll no longer find 59PLYMOUTH.NET as a entry in the Club dropdown - that's because we should all be registering with a FORWARD LOOK NETWORK Club affiliation, so there will be no charge for...

Re: Tapered Axle Rear Brake Conversion
Then again: Those studs were recommended for the 10" drums. So I guess that is a question for Matthew - I'll try to get him to comment.

Re: Tapered Axle Rear Brake Conversion
I don't know how much or how often Matthew reads the Forum these days, Mike. Where is the loose fit? Is it in the holes in the drum around the studs? This from the article: Here's where the fun begins. You now need to press in new studs. The stock lug bolts on these old Mopars are 1/2-20 UNF thread ...

Re: Tapered Axle Rear Brake Conversion
Mike, is your question does the hole in the center of the 2955R drum clear the hub as outlined here ? hub.jpg The answer to that is yes. However, what doesn't fit is the drum itself, without alteration. The depth of the drum is deeper than that of your original drum. Matthew suggests that it might b...

Re: Tapered Axle Rear Brake Conversion
To me is just wasn't worth changing out the rear axle. Just to be clear, Art - the approach described here doesn’t advise changing out the rear axle. It advises separating the hub from the drum, pressing in new lug bolts, mounting it permanently to the axle with the original nut, and procuring drum...

Re: We're Celebrating Twenty Years of the 1959 Plymouth Forum!
Thanks for the good wishes, Bernie! Yes, you were a very early subscriber... Time flies, and all that. The POC Bulletin just arrived and I see Dan has taken the "Picture Is Worth 1000 Words" adage to heart for this issue. Time to get back to the printed words and pictures now. For those wh...

We're Celebrating Twenty Years of the 1959 Plymouth Forum!

Maybe we can't compete with Facebook's immediate gratification, but where else are you gonna find nothing but '59 Plymouth stuff in one place? So we will keep on doing what we are doing,...

Visit to a Small Planet (1960)
Goofy alien Jerry Lewis lands on Earth, decides to try the suburban way of life for awhile, angering his superior officers in space. Screenwriter Edmund Beloin adapted Gore Vidal's play, but it doesn't seem directly tailored for Lewis' mugging talents--which is a blessing. The material is actually ...

The Apartment (1960)
One of the finest examples of smart, satiric comedy-drama ever created for the screen. Jack Lemmon (in amazing comic form) plays a working stiff in Corporate America--via New York City--whose bachelor apartment inadvertently becomes a love-nest for amorous, married executives. The film is extremely...

Stormy Monday (1988)
These clips from the movie focus on a rare 1959 "PlySoto" - a Desoto Diplomat Deluxe, built for the export market. This is one of those sleeper films, a good one that is not very well- known.....but should be. The movie has all the features of a good noir, most of all a feeling of impendin...

Not Fade Away (2012)

He joins a neighborhood band to play the drums. With the encouragement of hot girl Grace (Bella Heathcote), he becomes the lead ...
