Tom Fox sent Ed Eckerson a scan of a page from his parts book, and Ed sent me a photocopy. I checked my parts book, which I purchased from Myles Walker (the one who restored Tom Gerrard’s SF, with 2x4 carbs) – lo and behold, I have the same page! Perhaps, Forward Look Frank – this is the same page that Myles showed you to prove his case.

What this page shows is that, as of 9/15/58, 2 air cleaners were an option on some '59 models – and that there were forward and rear carburetors. Were these ever installed at the factory, or were they ever only parts available for dealers? At any rate, does this settle the question – that 2x4’s were an option on '59 Plymouths?
