Hello Ken,
My book says 1750440 for right rear, and 1750441 for left rear. Same handles for 4-door pillared sedans and 4-door hardtop sedans, according to the book. I suspect the 1959 handles to be the same.
On my 1958 Imperial, I had to change them (3 out of 4 were broken). The only difference I noticed was at the levers, that can be thicker (I suspect a change in the production line, to have stronger handles that wouldn't break so easily, or different suppliers for instance). This made their installation a little bit harder, as due to the bigger thickness, the sheet metal plates where you screw the handles on the doors were wider than the space between the levers (a missing millimeter can be a pain ...).
When buying those handles, make sure there is no crack at the junction of the levers to the main shell.
I hope this helps,
Frédéric

Can anyone in the group give me the correct part no. for the rear door handles on a 1957 Chrysler Imperial, 4-door hard top. I have seen some door handles for sale on E-Bay and although they look very similiar I am not sure that they are the correct handles.
Thankyou
Ken UK.
