Plymouth SavoyThe Plymouth Savoy was an automobile produced by the Plymouth Division of the Chrysler Corporation of Highland Park, Michigan (USA). Plymouth used the name Savoy on a line of full-sized Plymouths from 1955 to 1961 and on Plymouth's ill-fated downsized full-size cars from 1962 to 1964. When introduced in 1955, the Savoy was Plymouth's mid-level car line and priced between the base Plaza sedans and the top line Belvedere models. In 1959, Plymouth dropped the Plaza line and replaced it with the Savoy, making the Savoy the marque's entry level and Fleet Special automobile. As a Fleet Special, the Savoy was further striped down to such things as one sun visor (instead of the customary set) and simply badged as "Plymouth", not as a Savoy. In 1955, the Savoy was available as a two and four door sedan only. In 1956, the line added a hardtop coupe and Custom Suburban Station Wagon. In 1957 and 1958 the line added in a four-door hardtop sedan. In 1959 when the3 Savoy was downgraded to entry level status, it lost both hardtop models, full wheel covers and other trim options it enjoyed in its middle berth with Plymouth. Plymouth discontinued the use of the Savoy nameplate at the end of the 1964 model year; in 1965 the full-sized entry level Plymouth would carry the Fury I model name.
