Great news. We made it!!!!! 1,300 miles, 7 states in 3 days. We removed the spare tire, all our luggage and put the seat up as much as we could and she didn’t rubs (as much). The biggest thing was having a full tank of gas which dragged the rear end down so we just kept her with 1/2 a tank. The gear oil leak seems to be coming from the Speedo cable area but regardless given that she ran amazingly and brought me back home I plan on removing and replacing the seals on everything that goes into the gearbox from the sensor, Speedo, to the solenoid, etc. I am also going to order new springs and shocks as well. Any advice as to the best place to source them? And Thank You to everyone that helped us on this adventure.

Thursday night we did 120 miles no problems no issues. Friday we did. About 150 miles in it started having some squealing noise issues. I noticed that the driveshaft is rubbing on the tunnel. The bump stop is pretty much gone and when there's weight in the back of the car or shifted to the rear it rubs and squeals. My co-pilot and I are hugging the dashboard when we go up hills or over bumps so it doesn't squeak. But usually no noise on the highways or level roads. It doesn't squeal only when I'm going uphill or when I start from a standstill and put it under load the rear end goes down and it starts to rub and squeeze . Any advice

Thank you all for the suggestions and offered support. We have changed lol the fluids, wires, plugs, coil, etc and now double checking the overdrive system. We are also stocking up on spare parts too. I had fix a flat BUT like the plug kit idea better! Will keep you in the loop and send out our instagram account for anyone who wants to follow along.

Last year my sons and I participated in https://fortunatorally.com which is a “scavenger hunt style vintage car rally that gathers teams of automotive enthusiasts for some friendly competition to exercise their vehicles over a 1,000+ mile 3-day tour of New England states (and sometimes NY) during Mid-October each year.” My youngest son am I finished 3rd in our 1964 Cadillac and my 17 year old and his friend finished 5th in their 1978 Mercedes 450SL. This year we are taking the 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook and he is driving a 1967 Cadillac Fleetwood limo. As we finalize our rally preparations and shake down of the 1951 Plymouth any advice as to what extra parts we should take? I still have to finish connecting the aftermarket gauges and tach on the custom panel I built. I removed the radio delete panel, purchased a radio / speaker panel and installed the garages. Where the speak was I installed a https://carpuride.com 9” monitor so I have CarPlay, Navi, etc and put two buttons where the stereo knobs were. (see attached photos) I need to install the chrome trim, replace the cracked passenger side window, replace the gas cap as it isn’t venting correctly, install a relay on the overdrive switch, connect the driving LED light bar to the switched I installed in place of the radio knobs and change the rear shocks. Any advice from you seasoned inline 6 Plymouth owners would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. I will try to install it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

My vehicle number is 25125105 Looks like it is a Cranbrook correct?

I have all the chrome trim that goes below the windows as well as the chrome strip above the front wheels. Here is a photo of the steering wheel and dash.

Obviously the previous owner modified the car and tried to make it into a custom street rod. I prefer them to be original but I also knew I could rescue this one and make her into a nice driver. Untitled 3.pdf

I am trying to find the best place to connect an aftermarket oil pressure sensor so I can install an aftermarket gauge. I have a 1951 Plymouth with and inline 6 and 3 speed on the column. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jason

Good evening. I am new to the forum and just purchased a 1951 Plymouth either Cranbrook or Cambridge. The pervious owner and title states that she is a Cambridge but someone told me that she is actually a Cranbrook. Can someone help me identify which one she is? Are there any tell tale differences between the two? The body number tag on the firewall is 106-LA 8306. The number on the engine is P23 - 5 7 i 5 7 3. Any guidance would be appreciated. Jason
