[FWDLK] '57-'59 Plymouth options breakdown

["Vincent Van Humbeeck" <vincent.vanhumbeeck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Forward lookers,

About two weeks ago, I asked if anybody knew the option breakdown for '58
Plymouths. Well, it seems I was not aware that it was featured in the June
1994 issue of Collectible Automobile, an issue I cherish and read often for
its article on '57-'59 Plymouths. After reading it about 20 times it finally
appeared to me !! So for the sake of answering my own question, here is the
options breakdown for '57-'59 Plymouths :

                         1957        1958        1959
                         ----        ----        ----
Manual transmission     218,593 131,884 107,609
Overdrive                        10,772   7,007   9,913
Powerflite                      370,646 177,813 173,090
Torqueflite                     129,358 125,095 134,471
Power steering          114,289 135,517 168,631
Power brakes             69,024  63,276  66,236
Air conditionning                 8,541   8,501  10,261
Swivel seats                    -               -        34,269

Also, the article has a total breakdown of the '57-'59 Plymouths by model
and by engine (V-8 or L-6). For example, my question regarding the '58
Belvedere Sport Coupe is answered by :

. 29,444 with V-8
.  1,203 with L-6

Interestingly, it makes the 6-cylinder engine '58 Belvedere Sport Coupe the
rarest one ! Makes the one I found in Belgium even rarer as an import model
!!

Anyway, sorry to be so long with all those numbers ... See ya later.

that '57 Belvedere Sport Coupe buried in Tulsa,OK ?
