Hi,

I know of one. I bought a 1955 Savoy 4 door sedan from the original owner family last July. It has 49 k miles, all original, 6 cyl with stick. I have redone the seats with original pattern material and will repaint the car in the original turquoise color this coming spring. The car has spent its entire life in southern Illinois , has no rust from salt. I am getting the bumpers rechromed as the original chrome was getting too thin to shine well. The car runs great. I'll have it in some shows in central Illinois and eastern Iowa next summer.

I had a 55 Belvedere with a 56 V8 and Powerflite back in 1958-62. It was this same color with a black top.

regards, LeRoy

Hi,

My 1955 Plymouth Belvedere has the 241 V8 and Powerflite trans. It does about 2800 RPM at 60 MPH with the 3.54 rear axle. Also, just curious if anyone knows, how many '55 Plymouths do you guess are left in existence? Being from eastern Massachusetts, I have only seen one other one on the road in my lifetime. I am 30.
