Slotted between the base Plymouth Plaza and top-of-the-line Fury was the mid-priced Savoy. Here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, we are proud to present this 1958 Savoy Two-door Club Sedan, one of a very few “SpringTime Edition” club sedans made in late 1958 with a factory pink top. This example rolled off of Chrysler’s Evansville, Indiana factory.

The car’s original owner traded in her 1956 Savoy Club Sedan for this two year newer 1957 Club Sedan and she took delivery of it on October 9, 1958 from Johnny Baxter Plymouth in Omaha, Nebraska. It came equipped with the following options – Powerflite automatic transmission, two-tone paint, accessory group two, a cabin heater, white sidewall tires, undercoating, large wheel covers, a cigarette lighter and a porcelanized exterior.

Long owned the car until 1982, when she sold it to a man in Council Bluffs, Iowa who owned it until 1987. The next owner bought the car in August 1987. He installed new rear leaf springs, new shock absorbers and dual exhausts. He also had the transmission serviced, including band adjustment. He replaced all of the wheel cylinders, the master cylinder and the front brake hoses. He had a front disc brake conversion performed. Previous owner believed the distributor cap, rotor and points were still the originals.

Finished in Iceberg White and a pink top, the original owner states in a note that this is a factory “SpringTime Edition” and is why it has a factory painted pink top. That color pink was not a standard 1958 color, but was available for 1959 and since this Savoy was a late production 1958 it was offered with the pink top. The paint and trim are in overall excellent order but there are blemishes at the fuel filler door and the driver’s side cowl. The car’s windows, which carry aftermarket tinting, are in similar shape. The headliner has a blemish on the passenger side. The lights, including the new-for-’58 quad headlights, are great shape and haze-free and the car’s bodywork is straight and solid. The thick, late 50s bumpers look great and fit well to the body though there is a blemish on the rear bumper’s left side. The engine bay is very tidy and the battery appears new.

Under the hood is Chrysler’s venerable 318 CID V-8 engine with a two-barrel carburetor, complete with gold head and intake manifold. When parking, the driver had to engage a separate handbrake, which activated a single drum brake mounted on the driveshaft behind the transmission. Driver convenience features include front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

Inside, the car’s black and white interior is in overall very good order. The bench seats are in excellent shape while the black carpet is in great order. The contrasting white headliner looks brilliant while the original, two-spoke steering wheel is decent condition. The instrument panel has a full array of gauges but the fuel gauge is inoperable. The inner door panels, which continue the interior’s black-and-white theme, are both in great order. Completing the interior is a factory AM radio with a supplemental aftermarket FM receiver installed to listen multiply your listening choices.

Documentation includes original window sticker, original owner service certificate, a hand-written summary of the car’s ownership, miscellaneous maintenance receipts and a Chrysler Products Interchange Manual.
