Seller’s Description:
RCC Motors is pleased to offer this 1958 Plymouth Sport
Suburban.
For 1956 the Plymouth station wagons were grouped in their own
separate series instead of being a part of the standard range of
models (the Deluxe in 1950, the Concord in 1951-1952, the Cambridge
for 1954 and the Plaza and Belvedere in 1955). The 1956 wagon range
comprised the De Luxe Suburban 2-Door, the Custom Suburban 2-Door,
the Custom Suburban 4-Door and the Sport Suburban 4-Door with De
Luxe Suburban, Custom Suburban and Sport Suburban models equating
to the Plymouth Plaza, Savoy and Belvedere models respectively.
A radical new body arrived for 1957, again by Exner. Indeed, so
modern was the design in comparison to the '56, that Plymouth's ad
men proclaimed that "Suddenly it's 1960!" Styling on both Suburbans
and indeed the whole line, was cleaner, without the hugely ornate
grille castings Plymouths had worn for so long. Although the sedans
rode on a 118-inch wheelbase, the wagons were 122 inches. By now
the Suburban was a separate model line in its own right, a move
that had come about the previous year.
The 1958 Plymouth Sport Suburban offered here is the top of the
line variant being that it is a Sport Suburban. Making it even
rarer is the fact that it is a 9 passenger model with a flat
folding third row bench seat. It is equipped with the 318ci V8 with
a 4bbl carburetor. It is one of only 12,385 produced and cost
$2,900 when new. It features super easy power steering, power
brakes and a power rear window. It proudly wears what's left of its
original paint. There is some rust in the driver's side rocker, but
the floors are solid, rust free and dry. The car runs spectacularly
and drives like a dream. It has had the same owner for the last ten
years who drove and serviced the car regularly. You can proudly
drive and show it just the way it is or it would make a perfect
candidate for a full restoration, either way it is a very unique
and cool car!
