1959 Plymouths
1959 Plymouths
Anyone have round about numbers on how many 1959 Plymouths survive today? Restored or otherwise. I have seen estimates for 55 and 57 Chevys and a few other notables, but never for the 59 Plymouth
Ive often wondered how people actually know exact figures on how many survive,as in the numbers you see for the tri 5 Chevs,how do you get the figures on how many are registered from the government anyway?
And a lot of these cars are worldwide too,i live in Ontario,and id have no idea how i could find out how many 59 Plymouths still exist here in Ontario!

Don't know if you can get registration statistics on certain makes of cars from State DOT. That would be nice if you could. Maybe the States could provide that info for a slight fee. But for all 50 States that would add up - fee x 50 =... Here in Wisconsin, (of course I wouldn't bet on it) I think there are only 2 Sport Furys on the road - mine and a fellow that owns about 15 other FL cars, all in showroom condition. As for the other 59 models, now and then one pops up at a car show or a swap meet, but that is a rarity.

That's true, they are a rarity even at Chryslers at Carlisle, and if they're not there, then i don't know what to tell you!! There is usually (as some of you may know) an entire row of Superbirds/Daytonas, but i couldn't tell you the last time I saw a '59 Plymouth there! I will have to ask some friends of mine that go to the huge Mopar meet in Ohio if they have seen any there.
bought my grandma a ball of steel wool and she's knitting me a foreign car.
