Plymouth Belvedere 277 CID V8 1956
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this beautiful 1956 Plymouth Belvedere. The Plymouth Belvedere was produced by Plymouth from 1954 to 1970.The Belvedere name was first used for a new hardtop body style in the Plymouth Cranbrook line for the 1951 model year. In 1954. the Belvedere replaced the Cranbrook as the top trim and became a full model line with sedans, station wagons and convertible body styles. All Plymouths were treated to a major overhaul for the 1955 model year. This was the first year of Chrysler Stylist Virgil Exner's "Forward Look." The Belvedere returned as top-of-the-line. For 1956, Plymouth styling evolved from that of the 1955s. Most notable would be the introduction of the first push-button automatic transmission to appear in an American automobile, and a more dramatic rear-end treatment highlighted by a pair of rakish tail-fins. Belvedere remained the top full-line series through 1958. In 1956, Plymouth added seat belts. This 1956 Plymouth Belvedere is well equipped with the 277 CID V8 and Power flight 2 speed pushbutton automatic transmission.
