Just for clarification purposes:
1. '57 Plymouth has single 7.5" headlights, '58 has dual 5" headlights.
2. Lower grilles are different.
3. Grille emblems are different.
4. '57 has "P L Y M O U T H" spelled out across hood, '58 has a hood emblem
with "PLYMOUTH" cast into it.
5. Taillights are different, as are the tailight bezels and the chrome caps
that go on the back of the fin. The chrome strip atop most of the fin is the
same between 57 and 58.
6. Lower rear bumpers are different ('58 has reverse light cutout)
7. '57 has an ornament on the deck lid, '58 has "P L Y M O U T H" spelled
out with the same letters used on the '57 hood.
8. The embossed pattern in the dash trim is different (at least in the
cluster if not everywhere).
9. Hubcaps are different.
10. Manual steering horn rings are different. Power horn rings may be the
same (anyone know)?
11. Chrome spears atop fenders are different.
12. I'm told the actual fenders are different because of the headlight
buckets.
13. Belvedere and Savoy side trim are different between years, though many
individual pieces interchange.
14. No V's on the fenders for '58 V-8 cars, right?
15. Dash pad is different, ever so slightly.
16. Rear view mirror location is different.
No here's a question for the list: There are at least 4 main varieties of
Sport Tone inserts, not counting the rare 4 door gold inserts:
1957 Belvedere (silver)
1957 Fury (gold)
1958 Belvedere (silver)
1958 Fury (gold)
The stamped pattern in the '58 Belvedere inserts not the same as that in the
'57 Fury inserts. Which pattern is followed by the '57 Belvedere inserts?
Which by the '58 Fury?
