Plymouth Belmont: A unique concept from 1954 that became a reality

The Plymouth Belamont was first presented to the public as a concept car in 1954 at the New York Auto Show. The concept never went into series production, but unlike other concept cars, it has survived to the present day.

In those years, concept cars were used as long as they were interesting, and then they were destroyed. Plymouth Belmont became dear to the heart of the then vice president of design at ChryslerTo Virgil Exner. Under special conditions, he "adopted" him and that's how it happened preserved until today. A concept from 1954 has a body made of glass fibers, V8 engine in size 241 cubic inches and 3-speed automatic transmission. Today, the Plymouth Belmont has been completely restored and shines in all its beauty. It will be offered at auction and thus undoubtedly made one of the collectors of these happy exotic cars.

It has handles on the doors, which was not common at the time, as drivers had to reach inside the car doors with their hands to open them. The interior is surrounded by gray leather, we find an extendable radio antenna between the seats, and the dashboard has just seven gauges to display various information. He also has an advanced car for that time the radio and air conditioner. In 2014, Plymouth Belmont was sold for 1,320,000 US dollars, and according to all predictions, the price this time will definitely be slightly higher.
