It's a great thread on the Forward Look website; eBay also has 'em. I'm saving them for one day (someday ) when I can make a separate webpage for them.
Here's a question: Is the wagon in this pic, a '59 Suburban?

I believe the one with the orange frame around it is a 58

It IS fun to see the '59s in various now-extinct locales. I believe Ken Josephson (in Las Vegas, with 3 wagons) has a large collection of like photos.
My dad had our wagon from new until he traded it in on a '65 Ply wagon. The '59 had developed a bad shimmy and was rusting (we lived in New York State). While we had it, It made at least one roundtrip across the U.S., and was taken each summer on a multi-week road trip. It was our only car.
I was 3 when he bought it, and 8 or 9 when he traded it in. I don't recall seeing any other 59 Plymouths while we owned it.

When i was a young car crazy kid in the early 60s, i recall a neighbor having a 59 Plymouth and it was gray, but i dont recall either seeing any others around......

Being born in 1962 as a car crazy kid and had never seen a 59 Plymouth until 2001 That was when I saw my car for the first time! From documentation I know there must have been some Savoy's used as taxi in some cities but I had never seen one, that why I told my dad (when I was about 4 years old) I wanted a 59 Impala when I was old enough to drive. I wonder what you told your father?
