Jerry's "New" car

Recommended Posts

My very good friend and road trip partner Jerry has just joined the Mopar gang with purchase of this 1950 Plymouth from an aging local club member.

 

It's probably the sweetest-running and smoothest-driving car of that vintage I have ever experienced. Original engine and radio, overdrive, first rate steering and brakes, very nice recent interior and woodgrain. Previous owner drove it to Virginia and back a few years (and only a few miles) ago.

 

Of course it hasn't near the patina of my D25...

Is it a Deluxe, or a Special Deluxe?

Were the Plymouths of that era built in Canada ?

Does it have the 23" or 25" block?

Sorry for all the questions, but this gives me a chance to sort out some things about my car (1950 Dodge Special Deluxe) ?

Thanks

Neil

 Congratulations,  My favourite car has always been the 50 Plymouth

(or like Neil, a D36 Dodge)  My current 50 P20  came out of California

so it has the 23 inch engine and Overdrive has been installed, I have owned it

for almost 25 years. I have never been without one for over 50 years now.I drove my

first one 120 000 miles over what it had when I got it. Never tired of driving it.

note to Neil, just what do you need to know about the D36 ?
