hi

16" x 1.5", someone thought this pair was for 55 plymouth belvedere but I cant see that on any pictures of 55 belvederes.

I am confident it is a "forward look" Chrysler part. thanks for your time and help. Know anyplace I can go on internet with the parts numbers listed and identified for each year of forward look parts?

the second photo shows part #1593435 which measures 16.25" x 1.5" or 2.5" including the V. Someone thought it was fror 55 plymouth belvedere but I cant see it on any picture of 55 belvedere.

thanks for your time and help,

<span style="font-style: italic">The Plymouth and DeSoto Story</span> (by Don Butler) says that the V in the emblem indicated a V8. The other emblem you had is for a 6 cylinder 1955 Belvedere. (Both are for cars without the 2-tone side trim.)

The same book says that not all single-tone '55 Belvederes got these emblems, and in fact shows a V8 w/o it. That may be why it's hard to find a picture of them.
