Here are some photos sent in by Belvedere legend Adrian (he of
Moparbulance fame) of what appears to be a 1958 Plymouth with shortened wheelbase. The emblems claim it's a Hemi, and the 8,000 RPM redline on the tach is certainly a good indicator of hoonage afoot. These photos come from Tulsa, during the festivities surrounding the
Buried Belvedere last summer. Any reader who knows more about this car- particularly if anyone has been crazy enough to stand on the gas all the way down the quarter-mile- please fill us in.

We've seen 61 of Alameda's street-parked cars so far in this series, but only seven have been from the 1950s. Since I have a fair number of Alameda cars from that decade already photographed, it's time to break one out. This '55 Plymouth lives in the East End, a block or so from the
'72 El Camino we saw earlier in the month, and I'd been meaning to shoot some photos of it for quite some time.
