Pretty much yes. Some of the car's technology was ahead of it's time. It had Power Steering, Torsion Air Ride Suspension, Power Breaks, Push Button Automatic, etc. If you've seen the old commercials of the car, Plymouth's slogan was "Suddenly, It's 1960" because the design was far more advanced compared to what GM and Ford produced in that year. It won the award for best economy car in 1957.
A shame Plymouth became History. Such a nice company, with quite good-looking cars like this special version of Belvedere/Savoy/Fury. I only wonder to know what will be done of the car by the part of its new owners. Hope they get it fixed and running once again.
It was a great idea but poorly executed. It was nothing but a rusting worthless hulk when they pulled out. Had they put it in a metal container & welded it shut it might had had a chance. Instead it looked like it came up from the bottom of a lake
