'59 Plymouth Forum

Dan, regarding the super bright LED's, go to "superbrightleds.com". I installed only the green light bulbs and not the others as the oil and gen lights are bright enough. You will see on the web site there is a variety of colors available. The three green LED bulbs are #BA9S-GHP5. While I ...

New replacement Light Switch did work okay. Installing had problems with the terminal connectors not staying connected while installing new switch. Crimped terminals to slide tighter on the light switch blades. Also discovered on wire had insulation cut and exposed from wire dragging against sharp e...

I have been in North Carolina visiting a brother this week and have not tried the new headlight switch, but will get at it this week. What bothered me is not only is the threaded post on the opposite side but also all the pins - just like it was a mirror image of the original on the car. How they ma...

No I am not bringing my 59SF but will be driving a rental car. Would like to drive up with the 59 but the weather the past three weeks has been nothing but overcast and storms here in Kentucky and the flow from Kentucky is headed North-East right up into Pennsylvania. I don't own a trailer. I am par...

I am looking for a pair of bumper wings for my 59 Sport Fury. Used or NOS. If you have drop me a line. I am going to Carlisle, Pa MOPAR's this weekend. I will see just how lucky I might be in locating a set. Art Schlachter Danville, Ky aschlachter@roadrunner.com

I have one in pretty decent shape. I found an NOS steering wheel center pad from AMS Obsolete Parts out of Fairmont Georgia 706-243-6368. Cost me $410.00. They may have another in their stock. The pad that was on my car faded from a dark brown to a black due to exposure to the sun over the years. Wh...

I tried to purchase the pump but they insist I go through a "Membership Signup" and pay with Credit Card. I will not use a Credit Card over the internet and have relied on Pay Pal for years which works well for me. Membership Signup, terms and agreements, logins and having to use passwords...

I rechecked the NAPA # NSP 81673 that Dick Koch gave me and the pump was not available. Today, I jacked up the front of the 59 Fury so front tires were off floor. Started the car and proceeded to rotate the steering wheel full stroke left and right several times with no noticeable improved differenc...

Thanks Dick for the information. I was over to my NAPA store yesterday and two people looked for a pump in their books and said not available. I will try your NAPA on line and see what they say. I still would like to purchase one if possible even if I can get my present pump to work and keep as a ba...

I visited every auto parts store in my town (5 in all) and several sights on the internet and everyone is telling me power steering pumps for the 59 Plymouth have been discontinued and no body can tell me if there is a place I can send my pump off to and have it repaired (rebuilt). Cardone is a huge...

Understand. Take care of youself first.

Thanks Dan for the information. I will look forward to accessing it once again - it is a valuable asset to this great web site. Also Dan, I have purchased my 1959 Ply Sport Fury from Robert Hinds who's car is still listed on this web site under his name. If you can change the name under the car to A...

I am fairly new to this web site as I have become a new owner of Robert Hinds Copper/Wht, 59 Sport Fury. A couple of months back I accessed the PDF file showing the 59 Passenger Car Service Manual that covers all areas of the 59 Plymouth. Someone told me how to get to this site but that was about tw...

Bob's 59 Sport Fury now rest in my garage here in Danville, Kentucky. The car was everything Bob said it was and I couldn't be more pleased to own and drive the car. Have had people start conversations while waiting for a street light to change and even had one follow me into a gas station and asked...

Bernie, appreciate the information. Yes Bob Hinds gave me a lot of information on the car including a complete list of prior owner's. It had been an Alabama car all it's life and the body is very sound - I and another guy went over it quite thoroughly before I purchased the car. Bob gave me the copy...
