Plymouth Savoy
An automobile produced by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation of Highland Park, Michigan, (USA). Plymouth used the name Savoy on several lines of automobiles. From 1951 to 1953, the Savoy name was used on a station wagon, upgrading the base model Suburban. Later (and more popularly known) was a line of full-sized Plymouths from 1955 to 1961. Another incarnation was among Plymouth's ill-fated downsized full-size cars from 1962 to 1964. When introduced in 1954 as a 1955 model, the Savoy was Plymouth's mid-level car line and priced between the base Plaza sedans and the top line Belvedere models. In 1959, Plymouth dropped the Plaza line and replaced it with the Savoy, making the Savoy the marque's entry level automobile. In 1954, the Savoy was available as a two-door coupe and four-door sedan only. In 1956, the line added a hardtop coupe and the Custom Suburban station wagon. In 1957 and 1958, the line added a four-door hardtop sedan. In 1959, the Savoy was downgraded to entry level status. It lost both hardtop models, as well as the side trim and fancier interior trim it enjoyed in its original position in Plymouth's lineup. Plymouth Cricket
The Plymouth Cricket was a subcompact automobile sold by the Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation in the American market from 1971 to 1973. The car was a captive import, a rebadged version of the British Hillman Avenger, built by Chrysler's UK subsidiary (formerly the Rootes Group. Curisously, only a four-door sedan and station wagon were available, at a time when two-door subcompacts were much more popular, and a two-door body was sold in the Avenger range. The car was not successful in the US, primarily because of complaints of poor quality, an issue plaguing the British industry at the time. It was discontinued midway through the 1973 model year, paradoxically, just as the gas crisis of 1973 began to increase demand for small cars sharply, and Dodge began to see real success with its similarly-sized Dodge Colt, built by Mitsubishi. 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. That vehicle, the first two-door hardtop in the low-priced American market, was introduced in 1950 and ended that model year with great success. The 1951 Belvedere was not a separate vehicle line — rather, it was a subset of the top-trim Cranbrook series. Being built on that car's 118.5 in (3010 mm) wheelbase gave the two door Belvedere very favorable proportions. Powering the Belvedere was the familiar flathead 6-cylinder engine. Displacement was 217.8 in³ (3.6 L), the compression ratio was a relatively low 7.00:1, and output was 97 hp (72 kW) (SAE gross). First year prices started at US$2,114. Plymouth Reliant
The Plymouth Reliant was one of the first two so-called "K-cars" (the other being the Dodge Aries) the C |
