Subject: [FWDLK] Last Early Hemi:
1959
Just a
note of historical interest. While true the last year the early
hemi was offered in passenger cars was the 392" in the '58 Chryslers and
Imperials, with Dodge and DeSoto last offering early hemis in '57, the last
year of the hemi in Dodge trucks was 1959 when the Chrysler 354"
was employed one last time.
The
following example would be a great addition to someone's collection. I
know, even mine, yes, I'd love to have it!
