Plymouth Belvedere History

The Belvedere debuted for 1954 as Plymouth's top-line full-size car, offered as sedans, wagons, hardtops, and convertibles. It spawned the high-performance Fury sub-series in 1956.

Downsized onto the B-body for 1962 and officially the intermediate line by 1965, the Belvedere became the backbone of Plymouth's mid-size range — the platform under the Satellite, GTX, and Road Runner. The Belvedere name was retired after 1970, replaced by the Satellite that had been its top trim.
