Plymouth Savoy
The Plymouth Savoy came under the fleet of Plymouth cars, also one of the many divisions of Chrysler
Corporation based in Highland Park, Michigan. The name Savoy has been used in
many other lines of automobiles therefore creating a resounding name for this
line. A number of auto enthusiasts would clearly remember the very first Plymouth
Savoy if only they had been up-to-date with all lines of cars ever produced and
launched into the market.
For three years in a row, 1951 until 1953, the Savoy name was employed on a station
wagon primarily in the upgraded base model of the Suburban. The next more popularized
line came in 1955 and lasted until 1961 for the full-sized Plymouths. Then, the
Plymouth’s ill-fated downsized full-sized vehicles from 1962 up to 1964 also bore
the name Savoy.
Plymouth Savoy was the 1955 model year vehicle being a mid-level car line. The
price rated between that of the base Plaza sedans and the top line Belvedere models.
It was in the year 1959 that the Plaza line of cars had been dropped therefore
giving the opportunity to the Plymouth Savoy to be the marque’s entry level and
to be known as the Fleet Special automobile.
Upon its introduction in 1954 prior to its selling, Plymouth Savoy was available
only as two and four door sedan. In 1956, a year after its mega availability in
the market, Plymouth Savoy line added a hardtop coupe and a Custom Suburban station
wagon. Likewise, in 1957 and in 1958, a four-door hardtop sedan had been added.
Unfortunately though, the year 1959 brought gloom to the privilege once been enjoyed
by the Savoy. It lost the hardtop models, the side trim, and its fancy interior
trim as well. The Plymouth Savoy nameplate finally called its end in 1964 except
in Canada which lasted a year more. A year after, the new Plymouth model entry
was named the Fury I.
