Hi
Terry,
I can find myself in
your story. As soon as I discovered a passion for '50s american cars (as a
teenager in the '80s), I knew that the car I wanted was a '58 Plymouth coupe.
None other would quite appeal to me as that big finned beautiful hunk of steel.
It took exactly the same time as you to find one : 16 long years, due to the
fact that those cars were much more rarer in Europe than
on your side of the pond, and further more, our climate
in northern Europe is very mean to those rust-prone beauties. I found two
cars over that period : one in Belgium and one in Sweden, and bought the swedish
one. Like you, I bought mainly a frame with a hollow body and zillion boxes with
parts. We have ourself a giant puzzle game. Welcome to the list ... You'll be
amazed like I am at the knowledge and the passion shared on this list. It helps
us when we feel discouraged about our "project" to find that people hundreds (if
not thousands) miles away are always there to keep the flame
lit.
Once again, welcome
to the list.

'58
Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe
Hello all:
My Name is Terry Condy I live up here in London
Ontario Canada. I have been an active user of this web site for around one
year now and couldn't be happier!
Through this web page I was able to locate my
dream car from being a teenager.
As a teenager I had a 57 Plymouth Belvedere Dr
sedan. I could not for the life of me find a 58 Plymouth coupe let alone a
4dr.
Not to say the 57's where poor car but I
wanted the car from "the movie"
So I am happy to say I found the car 16 yrs later
58 Plymouth coupe Belverdere, she is sitting in a custom built heated garage
in a million pieces, boxed, tagged, and filed.
Any one want to see my parts needed
list!!
Glad to join and look forward to several years of
brother hood.
Terry C
