Probably local assembly and stretch, but according to the other one on the site Coronadoname not used this early : /vehicle_65194-Plymouth-Coronado-1961.html |

It could possibly be a Plymouth-based De Soto from 1955. |

The grille is not DeSoto but Plymouth.It is a stretched 1955 Plymouth Belvedere 8 passenger sedan locally assembled most probably in Chrysler Antwerp.The last long wheelbase Dodge was produced in 1952 and the last long wheelbase DeSoto in 1954. The only long wheelbase offering by Chrysler in 1955 thus became the very expensive Crown Imperial ( of which one at least was sold to a wedding car rental company in Brussels), so some stretched cars were produced on Plymouth bases.They are however extremely rare for 1955/56 .Chrysler Antwerp built more of these 8 passenger Plymouths based on the 1957-1958 and 1959 models( a fleet of 1959 cars was used for the official transportation at King Baudouin's wedding).The name Coronado was adopted fairly late on 1961 cars. |

Pilou, Il y a quelques années, j'ai failli acheter une Plymouth Coronado 1957. Le vendeur disait qu'elle avait appartenu à la reine Elisabeth de Belgique. A Malines, les taxis de ceremonie avant 1960 avaient aussi des Coronado. Par contre, je n'ai pas de reclame d'époque. Beaucoup de ces voitures sont parties à Istanbul comme occase. |

Boonacker of Haarlem and Versteegen of ’s-Hertogenbosch were active in that field back then. I would go for Boonacker, who did several Chrysler conversions of that kind for the local market. -- Last edit: 2008-09-08 20:45:19 |

So built in Holland? Or don't we use that field for conversions? |
