Plymouth Satellite

The Plymouth Satellite is a mid-size automobile introduced in the 1965 model year as the top trim

model in Plymouth's "B" platform Belvedere line. Available only in two-door hardtop and convertible models,[1] the Satellite remained the top of the line model until the 1967 model year, when it was moved a notch down by the GTX. The Fury name was moved to Plymouth's mid-size models for 1975, at which time the Satellite name was discontinued. When the new, larger Plymouth Fury was introduced for 1965 on Chrysler's full-size C platform, the Plymouth Belvedere name was moved to Plymouth's "new" mid-size line for 1965. The Belvedere Satellite was the top trim model in the series, above the Belvedere I and II. It was only available as a two-door hardtop or convertible. Bucket seats and center console were standard, as well as a V8 engine. For 1965, the standard engine was the 273 cu in (4.5 L) with optional 318 cu in (5.2 L), 361 cu in (5.9 L), as well as 383 cu in (6.3 L) and 426 cu in (7.0 L) Commando" engines. This 426 had the wedge combustion chamber design, and is not the 426 "Hemi" that was offered in 1966. The front end featured single headlights on each side, and a grille divided into four thin rectangles laid horizontally.
