On a day once we often prefer to discuss Plymouth (rocks or in any other case), we’re adjusting tack a bit.
So, contemplating that is the time of 12 months when many people head out of city to go to household and buddies, we wished to indicate you a detailed Plymouth cousin on the Mopar household tree, this 1959 Dodge Sierra.
Admittedly, we weren’t too acquainted with the Dodge Sierra nameplate. The truth is, we needed to circle in for a more in-depth look once we noticed this one on the 2024 Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals final summer time in Columbus, Ohio.
Within the 1957-59 Dodge mannequin lineup, the Sierra identify was reserved for the wagon model of the Royal sedan—straddling the austere Coronet fashions and the top-tier Customized Royal sequence.
We all know this one’s a 1959 because of a final-year facelift that gave the Sierra a extra angular set of “eyelids” above every headlight.
Below the hood is a 361 cubic inch Chrysler B-Sequence Huge Block, doubtless making near 300 (crank) horsepower.
However what actually acquired us interested by this Sierra within the context of street tripping is its assortment of classic tourism stickers positioned everywhere in the rear glass. Little question these decals inform the story of a well-traveled life for the previous Dodge.
As an added deal with, within the again was a matched set of color-keyed classic baggage—prepared for an extended journey over the river and thru the proverbial woods.
So if you happen to’re heading out on the roadways in the present day, please be secure and benefit from the drive.
…We hope there’s a slice of do-it-yourself pumpkin pie ready for you on the finish.
