So its a fake "old" picture, shame on me, I didn't notice.


Don't get your Höschen in a bunch there, Sid. Nobody said it was a "fake" old photo. He said:

Those look like the wire wheels that came on 1980s Lincolns.


Big difference between "look like" and "are".

Maybe the 1980's Lincoln wheels looked like 1960 Chrysler/Desoto aftermarket wheels?

Just sayin'

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		This is a very nice photo, but it's not that old. This doesn't matter at all, it's keeping the thread alive.
If I recall correctly, the photo has been posted here before and we discussed it as well back then.

The give-away is the louvers that has fallen off on the rear panel trim. I know this since I owned a '59 New Yorker. The louvers are fixated by pot metal studs that are staked. Water, salt corrods the studs and eventually, the will start to fall off.

That would not have happened during the first decade of the car, maybe the second decade.

?
Did I say that? I said it is a fake "old" picture since cast aluminum wheels of that style and narrow whitewalls weren't available during the FL era and since the rest of the scenery is made to look 50s, it is a faked picture and I really didn't notice. Got it?

Yes, 62/63 narrow whitewalls, Imo they look ghastly on a fl. My guess it is 1990+ picture, as the wheels are late 70s+ and the scenery is made like a family picture, or from a brochure. No such thing in the 80s+ with a brand new looking Forwardlook car.

I just have noyiced:
The two 1958 Plymouths, but the tail lights of white Saratoga on the upper deck appears as 1957...
Looks like this picture has been made approximately in fall of 1957, when the 1957 models were unsold yet while the 1958 models have been launched

"This here is the best car I ever owned. Bought her in September 1957. Back then, that's when you got your new model year, in September. All summer long they'd show you pictures of cars under hoods and cars under tarps until you were fair dyin t'know what they looked like underneath. Not like now." His voice dripped contempt for the debased times he had lived to see. "Brand-new, she was. Had the smell of a brand-new car, and that's about the finest smell in the world."

Yes, that picture has always bugged me. Might be dealer trade cars. Reading old car newspaper car ads there are lots of them for executive cars being offered at the end of the year.

Might have 59 Plymouth Doors (??). Certain the front part of the rear quarter is 59 Dodge wagon - *BUT* the rear part is sedan.
Agree taillights seem to be 58 Dodge.

It could be simply a very early production pilot car put together for the advertising department. I have seen 56 Dodges in the brochures running 55 Dodge push button (not fridge door levers)
so that *COULD* be the case with this 59 Dodge taxi.

Location: Ramona, CA		Here's some evidence of Chrysler building special bodies as preproduction units. This is from the filmstrip for the 1960 Chrysler vehicle lineup. 4-door sedan on one side and 4-door hardtop on the other. Of course this would be fairly easy since they could use production parts on each side.

The only 4 door sedan that got that sky high rear window was the US built DeSoto Adventurer. Here's a promo picture of a New Yorker sedan with the big back window. They obviously built a few pre-production models that way, but pulled the plug on them at last minute.

The best thing about my 64 880...

imopar380 - 2022-01-05 4:25 PM

Replying to the above pictures of the "hybrid sedan / hardtop, The New Yorker sedan was never offered as a sedan with the sky-high rear window, although there are some promotional photos showing them with the big rear window. The only 4 door sedan that got that sky high rear window was the US built DeSoto Adventurer. Here's a promo picture of a New Yorker sedan with the big back window. They obviously built a few pre-production models that way, but pulled the plug on them at last minute.



Your 880 looks great with that big back window! The 880 sedans got that big window in 1964.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Another pre-production car - this 1960 Polara shows the top body side molding extending all the way back to the end of the tail light. That didn't make it into productions for obvious reasons, when removing the tail light housing.

This one is directly from the 1960 Parts Manual showing a New Yorker sedan with the big rear window!! Never go to production.


It looks like that's the combo hardtop/sedan as well.

I *think* that the Chromed pot metal inserts were only standard on the Custom Royals. The standard Coronets inserts were painted.
Not sure about the Royals. Maybe painted was standard and chrome was optional (??)

Sorry Igor. I would bet a few $$ that the chromed pot metal was standard on at least the 1959 Custom Royals.

But hey... I could be wrong. Just never seen a 59 Custom Royal without the chrome. Almost never (ever??) see a Coronet with anything but painted pot metal.
