Normspeed Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Plymouth didn't change much from 53 to 54, but somehow those 54's had a totally different look about them. Must be the wire wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Norm, guess the point of that car is - after you been in that cocktail lounge for several hours, you won't know if you're coming or going anyway. Or, you might think you are seeing things. I certainly would not mind having those wire wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wldavis3 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Norm, I have a buddy that needs a Belvedere steering wheel. Do you think this guy would have an extra? I would like to see how he worked out that dual door hinge assembly -- (where you can get in either from the front or the front). -Bill Davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Back in the mid-eighties I saw a double-ended '51 Plymouth at an Americana museum near Rapid City, South Dakota. The owner told me they built the car in 1965 as an advertising vehicle but the highway patrol ordered it off the road because it was too confusing for motorists.

Young Ed Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 This should be a picture of it. We stopped at that same museum. They had a tucker there too. I believe it was in Murdo SD. Ok and now that I read my own pic I am right haha. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yup, that's the one. Somewhere in my photo pile there's a picture of me lovingly carressing the fender of that car. These '51-2 Plymouths have been a lifelong addiction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 You can say that again. Mine is quite the project. Dads 51 conv is totally restored. He's only had it 40 years. Wish we'd had a camera with tonight. Could have taken a picture in front of dads old high school in the spot where he used to park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspeed Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I recall an episode of CHIPS where Ponch and John were patrolling the freeways while a car show was in the area. A guy goes to pass a truck and sees a double ender in his lane, gets confused and causes a multi car spinout. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Martin Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Anybody who gets up that way should check it out. A really neat museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
