Elite Veteran Posts: 688 Location: Winston Salem, N.C. | hi I am Jerry Whitfield in Winston Salem, N.C. Here is my recently finished 56 wagon. I added PS, PB, and A/C. The factory color is called seafoam green. It came from California to me without an engine, so I had a 318 A" (1958) rebuilt and installed. This is the 3rd 56 plymouth I have owned. The others were a 2 door sedan and a 4 door sedan. Feel free to contact me.

Elite Veteran Posts: 688 Location: Winston Salem, N.C. | hi you really fooled me because I could not figure out how the color change occurred between windows. :) I never thought about photoshop. Also, no, I have not observed the other two small changes. Would you like to point them out to me? thanks jerry | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | Yes Jerry. Dave did well to superpose the two pictures. It's not Photoshop, this is just a tool. As I said, it needs attentive observation. 1. The paint between the windows. 2. The left bumper hanging. 3. The Side Trim Moulding end of rear door, not in-line. For Mopar at the time, this was perfect! Edited by sermey 2021-08-02 6:34 PM | ||
56' Savoy |

Member Posts: 30 | Beautiful wagon ! I have a 56' Savoy 2 dr in this color combo,and also a 55' Plaza 2dr wagon under restoration. Bought the Savoy all done,so it really looks great,but it has the flathead six,so a v-8 would be nice,but we'll see..see you have a new dual master cylinder,and power booster..have you converted to disc's up front ? And the power steering,stock or something else ? Thanks | ||

56' Savoy |

Member Posts: 30 | Ok Jerry,thanks for the answers,ready for a couple more questions ? hehe,well,just wonder if you still have the original headliner installed ? The interior colors are so different from my Savoy, which is all green.Dark,medium and light..just think it's too much of it,but it is how it left the factory,so I will leave it untouched.But if I were to paint the 55' Suburban in Seafoam green,your interior colors would be a much nicer choice..is your interior original ? Thanks, Geir | ||
