1958 Plymouth Belvedere


Introduced on March 31, 1951, the 1951 Plymouth Belvedere arrived as a two-door pillarless hardtop. It was Plymouth's first vehicle of such design and was built in response to Chevrolet's Bel Air. The 1951 Belvedere was not a separate model - rather, it was the top-trim Cranbrook and being built on that car's 118.5 in wheelbase gave the two-door Belvedere favorable proportions. The Belvedere came in several body styles through the years and 1970 was the last year for the Belvedere name plate.
