Plymouth Plaza
The Plymouth Plaza is an automobile which was produced by Plymouth from 1954 through 1958 model years. It was Plymouth's entry-level car throughout its run, priced below the Savoy. It was offered in sedan, coupe, and wagon variants, and known as Plymouth's "Price Leader." Like most models of its kind in the 1950s and 1960s, the Plaza — with its minimal trim and plain cloth-and-vinyl upholstery, and limited option choices — saw most of its appeal with fleet buyers, such as police departments and other law enforcement agencies, where luxury and comfort were not primary  concerns. However, the model was available to budget-conscious private consumers who wanted or needed the room of a full-sized automobile and the availability of such items as a V-8 engine and automatic transmission. By 1958, the Plaza offered buyers the widest choice of options to date. Options formerly reserved only for higher-priced lines were available on the Plaza for the first time. The Business Coupe, which was the least produced model of Plymouth in 1958 (1,472 units), differed from the regular 2dr Club Sedan in that the rear seat was an optional accessory. Plymouth also added a  special edition to the Plaza fleet in '58. Based on the Plaza Club Sedan, the "Silver Special" had a custom paint job with silver paint on the roof and in the Sportone inserts plus a short stainless steel spear that accented the front fenders and extended partially into the front doors. The final custom touch was on the rear fins where the Silver Special bore "Forward Look" emblems instead of the traditional "Plaza" scripts. It isn't known how many of the 94,728 Plazas produced in 1958 were fitted with the Silver Special trim package, but they are believed to  be very rare cars. For the 1959 model year, Plymouth discontinued the Plaza, leaving the Savoy as the entry-level model.
