[FWDLK] 56 Plymouth vehicle weight request for info.

FLML,

Has anyone actually run their ‘56 Plymouth Savoy Sedan or Belvedere 4dr. across truck scales or weighed their “daily driver” car?

I would like some feedback on the weight recorded as 56 Ply 4dr. is disassembled for a complete rebuild and would like to know the “wet” weight to compare against the published chart.

The printed data for chassis weight is as follows and illustrates “dry weight” only.

956	106,947	Plaza	P28/P29-1	115	3030/3250	6.70x15	5 x 4.5
	23,866	Deluxe Suburban	P28/P29	115	3285/3460	6.70x15	5 x 4.5
	126,162	Savoy	P28/P29-2	115	3125/3295	6.70x15	5 x 4.5
	42,822	Custom Suburban	P28/P29	115	3355/3565	6.70x15	5 x 4.5
	152,248	Belvedere	P28/P29-3	115	3125/3295	6.70x15	5 x 4.5
	15,104	Sport Suburban	P28/P29	115	3355/3565	6.70x15	5 x 4.5

Thank you Ron Swartley for your reply of the chart illustrating “dry” weight; without any fluids – radiator fluid/water, gasoline, oil, brake fluid, greases...and thank you for any and all future reponses!

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Question: Weight of 56 Plymouth 4dr. Savoy

FLML,

1) Can someone please tell me the actual weight of their 56 Plymouth 4dr. Savoy w/Powerflite?

I am not sure the book data is correct at approx. 3300lbs. Years ago I weighed my ‘56 Ply 4dr. Savoy on the scale at the local dump and thought it came in at 3540lbs. w/o driver – but my memory is fading...!

2) Can someone tell me if a 275/60-15 radial will fit the 56 Ply rear wheel well w/o rubbing?

Someone’s accurate information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Gary Pavlovich
