'59 Plymouth Forum

Thanks Roger - I have no way to match the paint, the car was originally white. I have a paint chart but the paint Chit looks faded.
Thanks,
Dick

I'm sure you probably already reported this guy to ebay, if not, you should, they watch these A--H---- very closely.

Hi Everybody - I am repainting my red & white SF and have some questions about color and type of paint. I have paint charts that specify the 59 red is flame red. I am not sure about the red on my car being flame red, the previous owner said if was from a later year chrysler car. I have some pain...

Call NAPA they usually have regulators in stock, usually cheaper than ebay when you consider freight.

Hi Guys - Something you might try, worked for me in the past with pinging and carbon buildup. LUCAS UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICANT. They call it tune-up in a bottle. Decreases: Pinging, Dieseling, Emission and Hesitation. 5.25 oz. treats 25 gallons gas. I ran three tanks of gas and the pinging and hesitat...

I really don't have anything against GM cars, Most of (our gang) has cheby's. Two 56's, 3 58's, 1 54. They are always on my case about MOPARS so sometimes I get defensive. Actually my first car was a 41 Buick. I was 16 at the time, paid $80.00 for it and it was a 1/2 step above a parts car then. It ...

Actually, If I was to own a Chevy it would be a 59. My wife and I moved to Miami, Fl. from New Orleans in 1961 in a 1959 Fiat 1100 (what a trip). We stayed at my best friends house and he had a brand new 59 Chevy 2dr HT. He loan me the car to go back to new orleans to get our furniture and appliance...

Wish I could go but have long vacation trip planned. Does that mean there were 10,844 Chevy's.

Dan - One more thing you have to bring is a Chevy tow strap.

Hi Roger - The dark grey gun metal dash I have now is original and a mild gloss, not blinding probably because of the color. My green car has a flat green dash with no sheen at all and green carpet. I thought about painting the dash the same red as the car but "no clear coat", that should ...

Yeah Dan - I got the card in the mail, called the number, gave them the information they wanted then got the sales pitch, I said "I don't think so" so they tried a lesser deal (softback instead of hardback book). I hate being blindsided like that.
Dick.

Mike - My power steering gear had a bad leak, got a gasket and seal kit at NAPA. Problem solved.

Thanks All - That info on the windshield eases my mind, well, what's left of it. Dick. Oh, by the way, while I have the windshield out, I'm getting rid of as much rust as I can, using OSPHO and then rust enscapulator. I had to have the inner upper chrome pieces that hold the head liner in rechromed,...

Hi everybody - I'm having a local shop install a new windshield in my 59 SF They say its a number DW453 for a tinted bubble type windwhield, can anyone confirm this. I want to make sure I get the right one.
Thanks,
Dick.
