scotty t Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) If you could have one more 40's - early 50's Mopar what would it be? For me it would be a 50 Dodge roadster or a 49 Plymouth business coupe. Edited June 6, 2017 by scotty t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeebe5 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'd have to go with an early 40's truck. Don't need another car in my stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 One more? I'm still working on my first, but I'm angling for a Desoto Suburban... either early, mid or late. Beyond that, I really like the grills on 41 Plymouths and have had a long time thought for a convertible, but the entry fee can be high.

48ply1stcar Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) 1957 Desoto, something where I get gallons/mile. Edited June 6, 2017 by 48ply1stcar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busycoupe Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I agree with the 50 Dodge roadster. However, if you could expand the year range to the 30's I really like the looks of a 35-38 Plymouth coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubler13f Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I need something the family can enjoy, everything I have is for 2, we have three young kids and I would like them to gain an interest in these machines but its hard when we cant enjoy them as a family. I need a Big Green Ugly Dependable Sedan that I don't have to have a chase car behind me everywhere I go. Something the kids can lose their ice cream in without me blowing a gasket.

Plymouthy Adams Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think I got all the 40's. 50's and 60's Mopars I can handle...but....a 58 Chrysler Windor two door would be nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worden18 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 An 8 passenger limo; 47 Dodge would be nice. Just like the looks of 'em and the extra space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatie46 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 An early '42 Desoto! Love the hidden headlights and grill. Coupe, sedan, 4Dr wouldn't matter. Or most years imperial's. Or a 57 Or 58 Plymouth fury 2dr ( you know the one!) there are more I could name but for the sake of band width I'll stop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin (UK) Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) My top 5 in date order... Apologies, I can't seem to get the photos to load in order. 1939 Dodge Convertible with body by Graber of Switzerland. (picture 2) This actual car was for sale in The Netherlands some time ago. 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt. (picture 4) Only five were built, each in a different color. The green one came up for sale a few years ago! 1942 DeSoto convertible. (picture 5) I really like the hideaway headlights. A Thunderbolt feature that made it to production. 1946-1948 Dodge D24 Business Coupe. (picture 1) I love the proportions of this car. 1955 DeSoto hardtop coupe. (picture 3) A hemi-powered beauty.

I kind of chalked them up in the same category as a 41 Plymouth convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I hate to bust the bubble but my wife wants me to get a convertible next so I would get a 1948 Roadmaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going GM I would have to say that I saw a stunning 49 Caddy convertible at a show in the UK. Black paintwork, black top, deep red leather interior and not overly laden with chrome. Truly understated class. It was a real stand out car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1949 Wraith Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I would like a 1937 Chrysler Airflow. They were supposed to be the car of the future so that get me into the 40's maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpollo Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Back in 1968, I had a nice 57 Belvedere two door hardtop . All white, tinted glass, blue interior V 8 Torqueflite. Wish I had kept it . It will be hard to find another at a reasonable price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
