1959 Plymouth Savoy

For 1959, Plymouth made several updates to its product line. The Plaza name was no longer available; in its place was the Savoy coming standard with an L-head six-cylinder engine which it shared with the Belvedere. The Belvedere took over the spot of the Savoy, and the Fury took over for the Belvedere. The high-performance Fury line became known as the Sport Fury.

The Savory was the baseline and came equipped with a left-hand sun visor, dual horns, five tubeless tires, dual headlights, single-speed electric windshield wipers, directional signals, dual headlights, and bumper nameplates. They also had single side spears and small hubcaps.

Bodystyles include a sedan, club sedan, business coupe, and a 2- and 4-door Deluxe Suburban.

A three-speed manual gearbox was standard with an automatic available for an additional cost. An overhead valve V8 was also available, raising horsepower output to 230 BHP.
