In response to a recent Four-Links link to a story on launching a Plymouth from the deck of the USS Enterprise,
reader Steve Donohoe of Port Clinton, Ohio, told us the Plymouth was
definitely a 1963 Plymouth Savoy. How did he know for sure? He himself
owns a 1963 Plymouth, though not one you see everyday.
Steve said he first doodled the design of a Plymouth sedan pickup in
high school notebooks in 1968, then bought a 1963 Plymouth Belvedere
four-door sedan in 1971 and went through with the chop in 1980. He
fashioned the tonneau cover out of two Belvedere trunk lids, and
swapped out the original poly-head 318 and manual transmission for an
LA-series 318 with a push-button TorqueFlyte. He then managed to get
Michigan to re-title the cruck as a "1963 Plymouth Pickup."
