RE: [59plymouth] ANOTHER 'ANAL' QUESTION

Ed,

 

I have the salesman's option pricebook at home -- I'll try to answer some of these questions tonight.  I don't know if it goes into that much detail, though... Someday, I'll scan it and put it up on our website.

 

According to an old email from "Forward Look Frank" (He advised me when I had my springs replaced), cars with 318s had 5 leaves, while those with 361s had 6 leaf rear springs.

Hello again Group

 

This is a 'study' day for me,,so pardon the seemingly way out questions.

BUT--it all interests me as there is a 59 in my future!!

 

Upon ordering a 59 S/F,,,,I believe standard equipment was..............................

5 1/2" rims with 8.00X14 tires

11" brakes

5 leaf rear springs

1.04" dia torsion bars

 

Please correct me if I am wrong on any of that

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supposedly there was an option for 12" brakes with 14X6 rims

Also an option for H/D suspension with 6 leaf rear springs and 1.09 torsion bars????

 

If this is true,,,where was this ever advertized or shown as an option to the buyer???

 

Thanks again

ED ECKERSON.
