About the Plymouth Belvedere:
The Belvedere was made by Chrysler from 1954 to 1970 and marketed
under the Plymouth brand.
The Belvedere name was first used for a new hardtop body style in
the Plymouth Cranbrook line for the 1951 model year. In 1954 the
Belvedere replaced the Cranbrook as the top trim and became a full
model line with sedans, station wagons and convertible body
styles.
The Belvedere continued as Plymouth's full-sized car until 1965,
when it became an intermediate, and was replaced after the 1970
model year by the Satellite, a name originally used for the
top-trim level Belvederes.
For 1966, the Belvedere received some new styling changes giving it
a more square angular look. Rich choices of color combinations were
available including 17 solid colors and 18 optional 2-tone
combinations.
The Belvedere I was offered as the base model for 1966 and like the
entire Belvedere line it offers roominess and economy, especially
with the standard 225-cid 6 cylinder engine driven by a 3-speed
manual transmission.
Belvedere II had 10 distinctive models to choose from powered by
the standard 225-cid 6 cylinder or the optional Commando 383-cid
V8. Standard features included front and rear seat belts as well as
a padded instrument panel.
The legendary Plymouth Street Hemi engine was introduced for the
first time in 1966. Out of the total produced, a total of 2,729
were installed in both Plymouths and Dodges. The Hemi engine was
installed in a total of 136 Belvedere I two-door sedans, 531
Belvedere II hardtops, 10 Belvedere II convertibles.
