Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a rarely seen 1955
Plymouth Belvedere 2 Door Club Sedan with the factory 241 c.i. V8
engine in mostly all original condition and which is a great daily
driving example with beautiful 'Tampa Turquoise' color paint with a
Black roof and with a very nice condition 'Black amp; Green'
matching cloth amp; vinyl interior and white sidewall tires!After
years of staid boxy and square cars, Plymouth reinvented itself in
1955 with a startling new line of sleek and smoothly styled cars,
part of Chrysler's turnaround that year. Styling by Virgil Exner's
lieutenant Murray Baldwin was clean and pleasing and modern for its
day. Peaked front fenders, wrapped windshield and shapely rear
fenders manifested themselves with the top-of-the-line Belvedere
with a nicely outfitted interior. Like the Chevrolet, Plymouth also
got it's first V8's in 1955 with the 241 cid and optional 260 cid
V8 engines. These Belvedere's were sharp and handsome cars and with
forward lunging front fenders and reverse angle tailights and they
created a totally new image for American cars of the era. Plymouth
also stressed the fact that its standard 241 V8 engine had more
power than any of its rivals and the car also introduced the
optional column mounted gearshift named the 'Flite Control
Selector' for the 'Powerflite' transmission which drew plenty of
attention.This particular example has obviously always been garaged
and is a very honest and original car with no signs of the car
having ever been involved in any major accidents, with only very
minor small dents and imperfections noticeable upon close
inspection. The 241 V8 engine is strong and powerful and this
particular car drives very well with the transmission shifting
smoothly through the gears.
