All Plymouths underwent a major overhaul for 1955, the first year of Virgil Exner's Forward Look styling, and the Belvedere returned as the top of the line with the Plaza as the entry model.

On February 26, midway through the model year, the engine stroke was lengthened a quarter inch, raising displacement and power from 100 to 110 horsepower.
