They really needed a much better spring back there. Yep, but I don't think it is the boat. Love the colors on this 56 Belvedere and would drive it that way. Kinda neat, obviously a run down car in the mid 60s when finned cars were considered garbage. Yet this man proudly poses in front of it. I like that. What is that under the rear bumper of the Imperial? Or am I seeing things? Edited by 1960fury 2022-07-20 7:40 PM (palepink56.jpg) (yellowimp.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ![]() ![]() | ||

Or am I seeing things? 1957-59 Imperials had a rear valance under the rear bumper to block the view of mechanicals like the exhaust, gas tank and springs. They don't all seem to have them now so I don't know if people removed them or if not all cars got them. | ||

Cal | Being in the business world, my interpretation of that picture is that the guy sitting at the desk is the person that actually designed the '57 Plymouth. The other two are bosses that give input, but aren't the real talent behind the design. What is the name of the guy sitting there? He probably deserves credit. | ||

The other two are bosses that give input, but aren't the real talent behind the design. What is the name of the guy sitting there? He probably deserves credit. Excactly. Just as Samson (who worked under Exner during that period) said and it was the Chrysler brass that gave the main styling direction. Without Ex, we probably would have even "googier" looking cars and reportedly, Ex had nothing to do with the design of the 60/61 Mopars, except the 60 Valiant, which was the only model he designed all by himself and that is THE ugliest American car of the 40s, 50s and 60s.

They lasted about three months; the next pair about two and then the insurance company said "no more." When I got my current Big-Tailed Beast, I had to pay $150 but at least no one wants to swipe them any more.
