Excellent pics John, and thanks for posting. I think it is different enough from the '58 to consider its purchase.

I am also considering the 1959 Chrysler Saratoga by WMCE.

Do you also have this one?

I haven't seen any mention of it here or anywhere else, but it looks interesting, and I enjoy collecting obscure models.

No Ben, I don't have that color. I have been considering, but since I have two already-I didn't think I needed a third. 

My two are in Storm Gray/Spanish Silver & Highland Green & Sherwood Green. They are both older Western models, so a newer version would be cool.

Ben, I have this one and the color "in hand" is really beautiful.  I had mixed feelings about getting this color but I am really glad I went with it as it displays very effectively.

The 57 Belvedere is beautiful but not quite accurate. 1957 Chrysler cars had the quad headlight option except the Dodge and Plymouth. They had single lights with inboard parking lights. Miss Belvedere has quad headlights.
