The Belvedere name was first used for a new hardtop body style in the Plymouth Cranbrook line for the 1951 model year. In 1954 the Belvedere replaced the Cranbrook as the top trim and became a full model line with sedans, station wagons, and convertible body styles. The Belvedere continued as Plymouth's full-sized car until 1965, when it became an intermediate, and was replaced after the 1970 model year by the Satellite, a name originally used for the top-trim level Belvederes. The nameplate 'belvedere' is Italian for 'beautiful sight' or 'fair view'. Chrysler also had the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Belvidere, Illinois which began production in 1965. The Belvedere replaced the Cranbrook as the top-line offering for 1954. Now, a separate model instead of just a two-door hardtop, it was also available as a convertible, two-door station wagon, and four-door sedan.

Introduced in 1951, the Plymouth Belvedere was a two-door pillarless hardtop. It was Plymouth's first such body design and was introduced in response to the 1950 Chevrolet Bel Air, the first two-door hardtop in the low-priced American market. Powering the Belvedere was a flathead 217. 8 cu in inline 6 cylinder engine with a 7. 00:1 compression ratio and producing 97 hp. While still appearing stock on the outside, under the hood is where this car takes a change for the better. The little 97 hp 6 cylinder has been replaced with a healthy Chevrolet 350 CID engine. A Turbo 350 automatic has been mated to the engine. This new drive train combo starts easily, and there is the reliability of a more modern drive train.

In 1954 Plymouth was one of the premiere luxury auto makers. This 1954 Belvedere is the epitome of that era. Painted in a beautiful light blue and white the exterior is in really nice driver quality shape. The interior looks great in white vinyl with blue cloth inserts. Under the hood is believed to be the original Flathead Straight 6 engine mated to the original 3-speed manual or 3-on-the-tree. This car runs and drives great. The only thing not working on the car is the horn. The odometer reads 71,132 miles and they are believed to be actual as well. The current owner inherited this car from his mother and restored it back to factory original specs. This car is a very nice driver Plymouth and will surely make the next owner a great cruiser for...
