What do you think this car started life as? Savoy, Fury?

Dan, with a 256 beginning suffix that is easy ID as a Detroit built V8 Belvedere, but it has a heater delete panel under the hood, no radio or clock qullted trim bezel on the dash frame, Or the missing "V" on the trunk lid too! Could be a collection of parts from a 59 Base Savoy with the radio and Clock delete. and of course the side exterior trim is from another fin Mopar (58?).
A GM V8? ouch that hurts! at least grab a 318/340 or even a 360 motor would have worked just fine!
Still a nice cruiser on weekends that is a turnkey 59 ride! :D
