'59 Plymouth Forum

Hi John - Good luck with the new lift negotiations. This one is a Car Park 8 plus - bought thru Best Buy Automotive Equip and it does seem to be well made albeit lousy directions.

Received the biggest package ever a few weeks ago and with the help of a big backhoe and loading dock at a friends tire store managed to unload a 2000 lb package of 4 post lift, transfer the still immensely heavy pieces to my shop, erect it today and got it lifting. The directions were terrible, ie ...

Funny how memory works or doesn't work - but my friends truck was a l956 - with a Y block and the years must have been 64 - 66. So these 56 - 300b's had been around awhile.

Welcome Donald - I recently had my rear bumper re chromed by Tri-City Plating in Tn. I ordered it then exchanged my core at Fall Carlisle. I think they need a month or two heads up time. They seemed to do a wonderful triple plate job for a reasonable amount - $610. The beauty of exchanging personall...

The early Plymouth racing thread brought back my memory of early racing at the 1/8 mile Fonda drag strip near Albany, NY. My friend and I would take his 52 Ford p/u for usually uncontested runs down the strip for a trophy, this to impress our girl friends I guess. Of more interest though were the Sh...

Hi Jerry-Welcome to our site. Great score you made. I've a 318 convert and am up in NY state east of Binghamton. Mine suffered much early abuse from an inhospitable climate and collapsed barn, but is still a "chick magnate" ho ho! I've been working on a rusty old MGB-good luck with your Sp...

What a cutie Dan-Congrats!!

I've got to agree with you Roger-The parade of over restored cars become numbing after a bit. I've got a slew of old cars i've fixed up so they not hard to look at and will usually start.

Anyone notice the 59 Belve hardtop in Old Cars Weekly 1/12 with 396 miles? Supposed to be in the Jan Mecum-Kissimmee auction. Guess it needed a hood and out of barn repaint!!

Thats really great Roger. We'll keeps our fingers crossed the truck behaves!!

Yes Roger, "less than steller" sums it up pretty well, looking forward-hence "forward look" to next year. Seasons Greetings to all!!

Wow-amazing!! Great work as always Dick. Have run out of superlatives. Am in awe etc. etc.

Brings back memories of my fruitless hunt for a Plymouth trans. mount cross piece. Finally found an Imperial cross piece I cut in half, bolted the two pcs. in and welded a piece in to extend it. I think all the Imperials had the x frame with a too short cross member.

Odd I got stumped on the mopars!!

A friend "retired police" sent me an email with pics of many old police cars. Many look like cars that used to chase me around.
