WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? 1957 vs 1958 PLYMOUTH #forwardlook #plymouth #streetfreaksgarage #christine 

I loved these cars since I was a kid in the 60's, there was one change from '57 to '58 that Plymouth repeated in '67 to '68. The hood lettering for the '67 Fury went across the entire hood the way it did in '57. For '68, the '67 hood lettering was moved to the trunk the way it did in '58. For me, all of the Forward Look cars were beautiful cars no matter how plain or fancy.

Wow that was amazing video a lot of information great job.

I love both 57 and 58s....I regret that I sold my 57 Savoy with a V8 and sport tone trim two door sedan.... But since we got our 60 Fury two door hard top....I love it as well......Look forward to more work on the Plymouth and the 59 Buick!

Very informative video! I have wanted a 57/58 Plymouth since I was 12 and saw the Christine movie. I am now 39 and I bought a 58 Plymouth Savoy 4 door sedan. My husband and I restore mainly Pontiac GTOs for a living, and he is doing the metalwork, bodywork, and priming on my car named Lil Red. I bought my car about 7 years ago on EBay. I aaved it from being a parts car. I had to have it in sotrage for that long, but we have been working hard on it since last spring when it got delivered to our house. My husband got the flat head six motor running and the 3 on the tree works! Something about these cars that they find you! Mine sure did!

Bumper wings were offered for all cars. But they were standard option on the Fury. Hood emblem letters are the same size on the 57 hood as the 58 rear. So they can be used in the conversion.

I would love either one in my shed 4 door or two but alas being in Australia they are exactly thick on the ground here.

Very informative video, thank you. I've always loved the 1958 Plymouth Fury, my neighbor ( a few years before the Christine movie) had a cream colored Belvidere that her husband bought brand new in late 58 and kept it in the garage since he passed away. On Sunday I didn't have a ride to church choir practice and she offered to give me a ride in it (yes she only drove it to church and get groceries), I fell in love with that car and when the movie came out it cemented my love for the car even more.

Tim, what an awesome video... thanks for making this! Now that I own one of each of the '57 and '58 cars, your video clears up a lot of the confusion as well as answers a lot of questions that I had, especially about swapping parts. I was particularly surprised to find out that the front and rear windshields are different between the years, and since I'm going to need a front one for my 58 project, now I'm a lot wiser going into that effort! 😊

most informative :D thats a lot of stuff i never heard. the 2dht fins vs the 4dsed.

Ah, yes! 1957 Plymouth wheel covers are da bomb! My dad had a '59 Belvedere company car with dog dishes. Like everyone else, he thought the '57 wheel covers were really sharp, so he bought a set out of a junkyard for the '59. His next fleet vehicle was a 1960 Valiant which, of course, had only 13 inch wheels, so the '57 covers went on the garage wall until the Valiant was replaced by a '63 Belvedere wagon. The covers moved onto his next company car in 1965, a Belvedere II, and when he bought that car off lease for Mom, he went back to the junkyard to get another set for his leased '67 Fury II. But '57 wheel covers were impossible to get as they were so popular. He ended up getting a set of '59s, which had the added delta shaped stampings that made them less desirable. He also bought that car off lease, and the covers on both cars left with them when they were moved on.

I kind of like the 57 trim better.

great video, would like to see a 57/58 subrban vid also on the front valances 57/58 were they body colour or silver, were those colours if silver only model dependent?

Very interesting video. That's back when they made real cars. I don't like the sixty model because of unibody construction. They have beautiful fins on the sixty model, a friend of mine had a sixty model and it had been sitting about 40 years and it looked solid till I took a bumper jack and started to lift up the rear and I noticed the tires never moved and I looked under it and it was gone the frame rails and we heard popping noises and it came crashing down and the rear stayed up due to the jack. He just junked it after that.

I'd love to know where people are finding these cars i can never find one
