Plymouth used the name Savoy on several automobiles.
From 1951-1953, the Savoy name was used on a station wagon,
upgrading the base model Suburban. Later was a line of full-sized
Plymouths from 1954-1961.
Another incarnation was among Plymouth's downsized full-size cars
from 1962-1964.
As with Plymouth's Plaza and Belvedere models, the Savoy was named
after an upscale hotel, the Savoy Hotel in London.
Chrysler was getting harsh reviews in 1962 on some of the new
styling, the saving grace was the introduction of the 413 Maximum
Performance Wedge, heroically known as the Max Wedge.
A Dual Carb , cross-ram made the 413 unique, but it was the big,
upswept exhaust manifolds and special heads with huge 2.08 intake
valves that made this Mopar stand out. Available in two compression
ratios, 11:1 and 13.5:1, the 413 produced 425 Horse Power and ran
12 Second quarter mile right from the showroom. In 1962 the NHRA
Record Books four class records established by 413 Max Wedge Cars
making this engine legendary.
This particular Savoy has been owned by the same family for over 40
years. It has gone through a complete nut and bolt rotisserie
restoration with no expense spared. It has won and placed at
numerous national car shows. Complete album of restoration is
included along with dealer material and collateral.
