all that is is a 58 savoy that needed a nose after a possible accident and a 59 dodge nose was available... all 118/122" wb noses interchange- that means all plymouths, dodges, and desoto firesweep and chrysler windsor.
the firedome and full size chryslers are 126wb and the fenders are longer- so the "story" of a 300E with a dodge nose didnt happen, unless of course they also swapped the chassis- since im not sure if the windsor in 59 was a 122" wb like 57/8 windsors...

Some of these weird combinations are the offspring of some freaky creative types, not factory issued. A while back there was a "factory" '61 "Mexican" Plymouth with a Dodge front clip that was debunked by some of our list members as a recent creation. It helps that the front doors were basically the same on many different models. GM copied that idea in '59.

You think that's weird....I saw a pic of a 59 Chrysler 300E with a 59 Dodge front clip on it. Ma Chrysler had some really odd "Frankensteins" during the days of the FWDLK era.

Sine the owner says that the VIN is incorrect this car isn't real but there was Plymouths built with Dodge front clip.
In Sweden in the 50s (aswell as in Canada) the was Plymouths with DeSoto front = DeSoto Diplomat and there was Plymouths with Dodge front = Dodge Kingsway. The Kingsway had the Plymouth dash but with the letters "D O D G E" in the aluminium around the speedo instead of "P L Y M O U T H". Here is a few cars left here in Sweden mostly 4 door sedan sine most of them where used as taxis when they where new. If you searh for the "Kingsway" I think you can find the information

I know Chrysler did the Plodge thing in Canada, but a 59 Dodge nose on a '58 Plymouth body, this isn't real is it?
