My Dad's other hotrod

Hey all.My dad has had this 1959 (in South Africa-1959 Dodge Kingsway) for about 5yrs now.It has a 383 stroker motor with 450Hp in it now.Goes like a train,& thirsty as hell!

I wanna know if any of you fellow Hambers know of such a model dodge car?
I know that in SA we get all weird type of stuff,but I couldn't ever find out why they changed the models here with another frontclip?!

Any answers?or info?
Thanx

Chrysler has always sold plymouths with dodge front clips as export vehicles, I know not why, but have always thought it was cool..............Jim

 

First I've ever seen but I like it. I've always liked the rear view of a '59 Plymouth, making me prefer that year to the '57-'58. It's weird to see it with the Dodge nose.

 

Neat lookin' ride. Front clip swap is far better than GM's great idea of (in Canada) sticking a 283 2bbl in a three-ton Catalina.

Is kinda.it has a spear-type of trim on the side aswell,but we didn't fit it cause it's a bit under the weather,searching for a pair in better nic.

The name on the back says KINGSWAY.....kinda hard to track down parts for it
