During its run between 1951 and 1964, the Savoy served either as Plymouth’s entry-level or mid-range full-size automobile. In 1954, Plymouth cars wore styling that was a departure from both 1953 and 1955, as an indicator that boxy cars were fast becoming a thing of the past. This 1954 Savoy looks to have been beautifully restored, or it could be a sharp original at just 51,000 miles. Located in Littleton, Colorado, this 4-door sedan is available here on craigslist for $6,900. Our thanks for the tip go to Mike F.

For whatever reason, Plymouth liked to name its cars after hotels in the 1950s. That was the case with the Plaza, Belvedere, and Savoy, with the latter being an upscale rent-a-bed in London, England. We understand that the paint colors used on the 1954 Plymouths were an advance preview of those also offered in 1955 (remember the days when you could get a car in any color you wanted, so long it was black?). We’re not sure of the hues chosen for this Savoy, with a lighter green on top and a dark shade on the bottom. But it looks good.

Plymouth was still only selling cars with inline-6 engines in 1954. Midway through the year, its displacement changed from 218 to 230 cubic inches with a gain of 10 horsepower. We don’t know when the seller’s car was built, therefore either of these powerplants could be residing under the hood. The Savoy 4-door sedan sold well enough at some 140,000 units in 1954.

The seller offers few details about this car and only one photo that doesn’t crop out part of the vehicle. We get the impression that the odometer reading of 51,000 miles is true blue and the car has no rust (or at least it doesn’t now). Automatic transmissions were still catching on in the mid-1950s, so this Plymouth has a “3-on-the-tree” manual. In 1954, Plymouth was still trailing behind Chevy and Ford in the sales race.
