Thank you for the pictures. I lived in Seattle and had a 4 dr 1961 Plymouth Belvedere, Midnight Tourquoise Blue. Got my DL in 1966 with it. It got over 21 miles per gallon. Parents sold it for $135.00 in 1970 and gave me a Mercury Montego. Would love to find my car again.

I recently purchased a 1961 Belvedere, 2 dr HT, with a 313 cid motor (Canadian), push button auto. The car is extremely solid, and I'm only doing a 'mild custom/rat rod' look to it. i'm retaining all the chrome and the lines of the car. I expect to have it on the road within a month, and cannot wait to go crusing in it!!

I recently purchased a '61 Plymouth Belvedere 2dr hardtop with a 413 dropped in from a 62 New Yorker. I would also like to find some production number information - anyone have any info? Mine is a solid original New Mexico car with all good glass, all stainless trim. In old school hot rod form right now with satin black paint and amateur flames painted on the front by the previous owner. Just needs some TLC and looking over to be a solid daily driver. This is going to be a fun hot rod project!
