A combination of both, but mostly from the radial tires. The shocks job is to keep the tires planted to the ground. The firmer the shock,the more road feel FROM the tires.

To keep it simple.. From bias ply to radial add 6 psi. Basic rule of thumb is whatever the car manufactured tire pressure is in 1957 it would be say 24 or 26 PSI, Then your new radials can be set at 30 or 32 PSI. Done. Kyb shocks do have a firmer ride. Think about it, going with gas charged...

Welcome to the world of Full Sized Mopars where it is not a Cramaro or Mustwang bebop repop.

Thanks for sharing! Barry Washington and/ or Doug Hammer of the Hamtrmk Registry may be interested. I donated all my literature to them via CD- ROM and I know first hand how much time and work is involved scanning and downloading documents. Keep up the good work!

I like it as the FL 4dr hardtop rooflines are just dead sexy. I like the fact is does not have the "toilet seat" trunklid and the tail light lenses are still there. Usualy stolen for a chopped 51 Merc..lol

Desoto and Fargo nameplates were still used in other countries at the time. Some were pre-assenbled at the Windsoe,Ontario plant, then shipped and final assembly at their destination. Obviuosly this car is a Plymouth body with Desoto front clip. I am guessing pic taken sonewhere in Europe or...

I am 5'8" and it was a snug fit for me. I will have to dig through my archives and share any pics I saved. The Ghia I looked at had Firestone bias ply wide whites on it. Funny thing the Firestone family is related to the Henry Ford family by marriage yet commisioned an Imperial Ghia Limo!

Congrats Mike! Whats the history behind it? I do remember 15 years ago sitting in a 58 at an auction that belonged either to the Firestone or Dupont family. My friend was bidding on it but was outbid at the time.
