Location: Norwich | Hi Guys. I'm Paul from Norwich, Norfolk. My FL ride is this 1955 Plymouth Belvedere. My first MOPAR. A genuine 61k 4 door Club Sedan with optional Sport twin tone paint scheme. Seminole Scarlet & Orlando Ivory body with Black & Red interior.

I bought the car last Month from a chap on The Isle of Wight. It's been here in the UK since late 2011. Beautiful condition throughout, though cracks in the paint on most panels mean after Christmas a whole repaint will take place. Other changes will be a return to wide whitewall Crossply tyres and electrical upgrade to 12v Negative Earth with alternator. I've started snapping up sales literature and workshop manuals to familiarise myself with the car. So far I'm pleased with the car. It drives nicely and is a welcome return to American Vehicle ownership since selling my Mercury last year.

Location: .Norfolk..Mafia.. ,England UK | HI Paul,,
No idea what happened to the 55 Plymouth Plaza mate,
When i first heard of you purchase of your 55 Belvedere i thought it was that car. Hoefully another member may know where it went if it ever sold..
When the weather ever gets better we need to meet up at a car meet, Been a while .Bet you still miss the 59 Merc.
