A little Plymouth history:   Chevrolet, Ford, and Plymouth all entered 1956 with mildly restyled facelifts of the new cars introduced the year before. The new Ford and Chevys relied mainly on revamped side trim, grilles, and tail lamps to set them apart from 1955's cars. Like the others, Plymouth retained the old body, but added new quarter panels that dramatically changed the overall shape of the body to what was referred to as  "airfoil" styling. One inch longer than the 1955 and slimmer and taller, the airfoil fenders trailed off into space "leaving no question that the car is racing forward," according to the data book. Slashed at a steep angle, the fenders gave the car a "flying away" look when viewed from the side or the rear. Airfin taillights, slim and tapered to emphasize the height and sweep of the rear fenders, and a “jet-like tub” back-up lamp housing all emphasized the aeronautical theme of the car. New body moldings, especially those of the Belvedere, emphasized the “aerodynamic, ready for take off” look. Topping off each rear fender was the new "Forward Look" emblem on Belvedere and Sport Suburban models.   The 1955 Plymouth had shocked the motoring world by sticking the automatic transmission control lever through the dashboard near the driver's right knee cap. For 1956, Plymouth drivers had to learn to use their left hand for this operation as Plymouth (and the rest of the corporation's cars) went to push-button shifting on automatic cars.   First time offered for sale, directly from from a private collection, this 56 Belvedere has been passed down through the family, and only 2 owners through out it's life time.  Always garaged, no winters and beautifully preserved, this 4 dr. hard top has only 66,044 actual miles since new.   Only 1 single repaint a few yrs. ago, exceptionally nice, and the body was completely rust free, factory colors, yellow and black with white painted roof.  Complete tinted glass, all original and considered in excellent condition.  Bright work and stainless is orig. and has been polished when the car was refinished, re chromed front and rear bumpers, bumper guards.  This car has an amazing style about it, wide stainless mouldings above the windshield, beautiful flowing body lines, high attention to stainless, paint, fit and finish.  Body panels are orig. new factory wide white bias ply tires with orig. hub caps.  Re chromed hood and trunk ornament, rust free door bottoms.  Interestingly, the back windows roll down.  The rear quarter vent folds down first, as the window rolls down.  Doors open and close with no effort.  All orig. weather strip, orig. paint in the door jambs.  A plastic filler piece divides between the back of the front seat, a most unusual trim piece we've ever seen.  New carpet, yet everything else is original in the interior of this car.  Black and white fabric, dash board, instrument cluster, door panels, rear pkg. tray are all original and considered in extremely nice condition.  The rear seat appears like it's never been used.  The headliner is exceptionally nice and replicates  the stars are above.  The original steering wheel is in perfect condition.  The interior is amazing, not faded or soiled, only  a tiny fray on the center of the driver's side seat from getting in and out.  The engine compartment is as clean as a whistle and runs extremely well.  No modifications, never rebuilt, just finished when the car was repainted.  Nice engine bay detailing, PS, PB, orig. radiator, orig. generator, vacuum operated wipers.  2 barrel carb with an orig. air cleaner element.  Nice clean trunk, orig. spare tire, jack and rubber floor mat.  The bottom side has anew dual exhaust system, never any rust issues what so ever.  If you're looking for a really nice, straight rust free orig. low mileage 56 Plymouth 4 dr hard top, this car is most likely the best orig. example out there.  Turn key, drives anywhere and a great investment that you can enjoy.
