Ray,

Chrysler called it the deck lid false spare tire cover, and was a bolt-on option offered for Plymouth only. In 1959, the vast majority (if not all) of Plymouth Sport Furys had them. I believe  the customer would have had to specifically delete that option, if he didnt want it.

 

Imperial deck lids had that spare tire impression stamped right in at the factory. I don't think Imperial offered a "straight" deck lid, certainly not in 1959.

 

For 1959 Dodges, Desotos and Chryslers, only a medallion for the deck lid was available.

 

I do not have a parts book for the 1960 Mopars, but I have seen the fake covers on Plymouths in the sales brochures and promos.

Subject: [FWDLK] toilet seats

Hello everyone. Just surfing the last couple of days I have found three
different cars with that large silver plate on the trunk that I thought was
an Imperial only option. One was a 59 Coronet,one a 60 Plymouth Fury,and I
don't remember the last one except that it was a car you don't normally see
with this thing on th trunk. Was this an option on all cars, or were these
cars modified..... Just for my own curiosity could someone give me some info
on this? Thanks alot.
