'59 Plymouth Forum

While I'm waiting for a chance to put some pix in the showcase, I thought I'd post a couple here.

nice brace of Fin cars!

What to you have in the trunk of the 59? Hopefully a bunch of NOS parts to cause it to be sitting low!!

John,
I think its just the slope of the driveway throwing you off. She sits nice and level and flat road. I do wish I had a trunk full of NOS though! LOL!

The red 59 has shackles on it.....

Thanks Bob!

Though I was hoping for a horde of NOS 59 parts!!!

I used to own that red one, back in the '90s. The springs were a little weak then. I sold it to Ginger Dickson, who enjoyed it for many years until selling it to Ernie via eBay. Ernie tells me he enjoyed the heck outa that car, but recently sold it to another Florida(?) man.
either Ginger or Ernie put the shackles on it.

That black one is surely a "black beauty".

Gotta share a shackle story with you all, since it relates to Rogers city of Seattle. I once had a '67 Mustang fastback. Put shackles on it and shortly after a Wis State Trooper stopped me and gave me a ticket requiring me to take them off as it altered the suspension. Trooper was Myron Krieg, father of Dave Krieg, who used to be the Seattle Seahawk's Quarterback.

Back to '59 Plymouth rear springs. I broke rear spring leafs on at least 3 occasions on a SF I had back in '60s. My '59 Fury has one broken leaf and when I purchased my present '59 Sport Fury, it's springs were flat as could be. I got a good pair out of parts car I bought and they have 1 extra leaf, probably station wagon springs I'm assuming.
