Expert Posts: 1363 Location: Apeldoorn, Netherlands | Doctor DeSoto - 2010-12-17 12:16 PM Jim, You are WAY off on that one. 58 DeSoto Firedome or Firesweep 2HT in what looks like a monotone or similar light colors. Again, note Chrysler-DeSoto junior model low-back roof/glass. DeSoto had the bumper tip exhaust ports, oval in 57, "pinched" in 58. Look at the enlargement and you can even make out the pinched exhaust ports. I had my doubts about this one (still learning...) and see that it is NOT a Fury. But I would swear it is a 1957 Plymouth, looking at the back lights. Or is it an export model, something like a a PlyMoto/DeMouth?

I found something with a similar plate, in my 'archive' Yes,all American cars registered in London were issued with short licence plate numbers (British cars usually had 6 digits)because the people in the registration office knew US cars had a smaller licence plate area.This Right Hand Drive 1960 Polara must be a rare bird,I've seen plenty Dart/DeSoto Diplomat right hookers,but never a senior Dodge,here's a rhd '55.

Location: Parts Unknown | Gonna vote Fireflite on that one. See what looks like the "V" emblem crossing the side trim just ahead of the driver's door ? Also the fender top ornaments that were standard to Fireflite. I took my honeymoon in Seaside in 1985. That little roundabout was still there, but I only saw MY DeSoto there.  | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | Whoo-haw! Love the '58 with blackwalls, that's a neat card!  A couple more photos, the first has the following description: "Date: 03-06-1956 Photo series of Eric O. Brown, district manager for the Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Co. The Brown family prepares to depart on a fishing trip. Mr. Brown loads the Evinrude outboard into the family station wagon, while his wife Dorothy and son and daughter prepare to stow the net, rod and tackle box. The Brown's modern English home was constructed in 1927 and designed by Heath, Gove and Bell, Architects." The second photo's origin is unknown.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | That would appear to be a '58 by the look of the hood emblem, Jim. This photo doesn't really feature an FL, but being a '62 Plymouth owner, I just think it's a really cool photo.

Location: Parts Unknown | D500Jim - 2010-12-22 2:38 AM 1957 Plymouth Sport Suburban at TraveLodge in Long Beach, California (Plymouth ForwardLook postcards) Definitely a 58. The quad headlights, matching direction grille bars, and hood ornament (57 had P-L-Y-M-O-U-T-H letters) are dead giveaways. Also, the Sport Suburban had the side trim kick-up like the Fury and Belvedere, so this is a more basic model. The 62 Pontiac convertible is nice too ! Is that a white 68 Dodge Coronet convertible in the very back against the building ???? That's a rare one ! Edited by Doctor DeSoto 2010-12-21 8:26 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | The 'V' on the fender indicates a V-8, as opposed to the flathead six. Here are a few more. These aren't postcards though; they are from a private photo collection that was shared on the Hamb. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542628 I'll go ahead and try to identify the cars.  '59 Saratoga coupe  '56 300B, with its engine photographed separately in the second image. Interesting that this car is already showing some rust issues in the rockers. The year is about 1962, and the '55-56 cars were not known for being rustbuckets like the '57-59 cars were, especially in the arid climate of SoCal or AZ where the picture was taken.
