I found this Plymouth in a junk yard that is closing. The place has been sold and all the vehicles will be crushed , the old owner is a friend and he said I could have anything I wanted .
Under the hood on right side of firewall is a aluminum tag with
model 1(?)-2-H2
Body# 1035
Paint AAA
Trim code DXE
on the drivers door forward pillar is a chrome or stainless steel Vehicle No.
LP2W
**9968
From what I can tell it is a 2 Door Plymouth with out the window pillar
push button auto trans(no engine or transmission)
It needs just about everything but it is too cool to get crushed
thanks
Hank

Location: bishop, ca | It's in better condition than Miss Belvedere is.
It kinda resembles a certain car, in a certain movie-scene, or two...

What makes it a Belvedere and not a Fury?
Is there anywhere I could find out what the "codes" mean?

A Canadian-built 1958 Plymouth V8 Belvedere 2-door hardtop.
There is no site on the web that can help with Canadian pre-1966 tags, by the way.
First, the serial number :
LP2W**9968
L - 1958 model year
P - Plymouth
2 - V8 (313)
W - Windsor assembly plant
**9968 - 8,968th LP2 built at W
The ** are fillers. the car after **9999 would be *10000 and after *99999 would be 100000.
The body tag :model 1(?)-2-H2
Body# 1035
Paint AAA
Trim code DXE
Model No. = 1(?)-2-H2
Should be LP-2-H23
L - 1958
P - Plymouth
2 - V8 (313)
H - Belvedere
2 - 2-door
3 - hardtop
Body# 1035
1,035th LP-2-H23 built
Paint AAA
A - roof colour - black
A - body colour - black
A - insert colour - black
Trim code DXE
Interior trim code. Do not know enough about 1958 codes, yet, but the sun visors and headlining were grey while the instrument pad and weathercord were black.

Location: DFW, TX | The holes in the panels suggest this car used to have the Sportone. I bet it was a stunning car when new!
Good save, you don't see them often anymore. |

Location: bishop, ca | Looks like it's trimmed in Moss-green, now.
How were the 58 Plymouth's interiors outfitted, in comparison to their U.S. counterparts?
Hank, can you post up any pics of whatever interior style/colors might still exist in your car?
