"Suddenly, it's 1960" was the slogan for the all new 1957 Plymouth. However, the 1957 Mopar cars were originally meant to be released for the 1960 model year. The 1957 Plymouths, Dodges, Chryslers, Imperials and Desotos were intended to be 1960 models.
Because of the newly designed cars GM and Ford were about to release for 1957, Chrysler Corporation had to go ahead and release the cars they were saving for 1960 in order to keep up with the competition.
On page #3, I doodled around on some 1956 Mopar car pictures with my idea of what could have been possible for the 1958 Mopar models with dual headlights if the 1955/1956 designs had continued in production through 1959...All that though is speculation and guessing, but did turn up some interesting results.
In reality, the designs in the pictures I doodled on in page #3 were replaced by the newer models after 1956. The the cars in this posting never existed in the altered way they're shown on page #3 IRL.
By the way...The conversation the animals here were having was 4 years to the month before Clarence Coyote arrived to 1960.
Had the newly design models not been released until 1960 as Chrysler originally planned, provided the company stayed afloat, the 1960 Chrysler 300 and 1960 Plymouth Fury station wagon belonging to Al and Marge Coyote would have looked like what we know as 1957 models...except they'd still have dual headlights.
