1959 Plymouth Belvedere Convertible – 318 V8 – Forward Look Classic
Big Fins. Push-Button Drive. Pure 1950s Americana.
Few automobiles capture the optimism and extravagance of the late 1950s quite like a Forward Look Plymouth. This 1959 Belvedere Convertible brings together Virgil Exner’s dramatic tailfins, quad headlights, sweeping chrome trim, and open-air cruising in one of Plymouth’s more uncommon body styles, with just 5,063 Belvedere Convertibles produced for the model year.
Finished in brilliant red with a red-and-white interior and contrasting tan power convertible top, this Belvedere has the kind of presence that made late-1950s Detroit unforgettable. Under the hood is a 318ci V8 paired with Chrysler’s 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic and its unmistakable push-button controls. Power steering makes this big Plymouth comfortable to cruise, while wide whitewall tires and period-style wheel covers complete the look.

Why This Belvedere Matters
The 1959 Belvedere represents an era when American manufacturers weren’t afraid to make automobiles dramatic. The fins, chrome, colors and push-button transmission are unmistakably products of their time—and that is precisely their appeal today. With limited convertible production, V8 power and one of Virgil Exner’s most recognizable Forward Look designs, this Plymouth offers something increasingly difficult to duplicate: an authentic piece of 1950s American automotive theater that can still be driven and enjoyed.
