saiers Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Found this 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe on Kijiji a few weeks ago a few hours from me, and for 400 bucks I couldn't say no. Complete car with floor rust but solid other than that. Interior has mildew but going to try and tidy it up. Original paint will buff up. Cleaned off the massive amount of algae for now. Last insured 10 years ago. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last ran a few years ago so I don’t imagine it will have any trouble firing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDoctor Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Don’t you just hate it when they follow you home like a helpless puppy, or kitten??? And once home, you just can’t turn them back out into the cold, cruel world. it’s the nurturing instinct in all of us – you’ve just got to keep it, and nurse it back to health. Best of luck . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1949 Wraith Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 That looks like the best $400 purchase made in a long time. To make it even better for our American friends it is only $280 US 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Los Control is right, sometimes free is too much to pay. That said i would have bought it for that price as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 It is hard to tell if it is a Canadian model but if it is, you will soon find that the engine specs are different, I am the tech advisor for '50 in the Plymouth Owner's Club and am just across the strait on Vancouver Island. I have not been without a 50 Plymouth since 1965. They are truly very nice cars. send me a PM if you have any specific questions. dp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiers Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yeah for the price I couldn't say no. I also have a bunch of parts already and have some experience with these cars so shouldn't break the bank. I took to cleaning the car some more. The drivers side is starting to look better. I'm totally into the patina look for this one, so other than running and driving and dealing with floor rust, I'm going to enjoy it as is once buffed up. I'll get some new tires and keep it as stock as possible. I prefer original for my cars as opposed to modified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
