    You may want to look into a service such as Gas Tank Renu to refurbish your existing tank. I believe the station wagon tanks are unique to that body style and not being reproduced. Your other alternatives are finding an NOS wagon tank (big $$), adapting another tank to make it work, or locating a good used one.

    The wheelcovers are 2nd-series '49 and early 1950.

    An incredible deal at that price, and with a title too. GO FOR IT!

    A couple of ways the models differ... The Special Deluxe had a horn ring instead of a button. The windshield in a Special Deluxe had stainless steel trim around the windshield and the Deluxe had plain black rubber surrounding the windshield. Hope this helps. Harold

    The part numbers are 85-0139 (wheel cylinder kit) and 85-0108 (master cylinder kit). I think I bought them for my '52 Plymouth many years ago and want to confirm that's what they fit. I haven't had any success researching online so I hope someone with a Hy-Brake catalog will chime in. Thanks in advance....Harold

    Welcome to the forum. The car has lots of potential. I'd straighten out the title paperwork before spending money on parts or repairs. It'll save headaches later.

    Those 'boatless' '51-'52 caps were used well into the sixties on Plymouth police cars and taxicabs. I remember seeing them on '67 and '68 Fury squad cars. Here's a couple of pictures I got online. Not the clearest but you get the idea.

    Would it be a good idea to smear a little silicone sealer around the perimeter of each wheel rivet to help seal against air leaks?

    There is a sheet metal bar behind the plastic letters to hold them in-place against the chrome part of the nameplate. I've seen them rust out and be ineffective. If this is the case, you can pack rope caulk around the letters from the back to hold them in place.

    Nice picture. The NYPD kept the tri-tone green, white, and black paint color scheme until 1972 when they went over to a blue lower body with white roof. I've seen pictures of 1950 Plymouth NYPD squad cars (they used a lot of business coupes) and have always wondered if they used any '51-'52 Plymouths.

    Great to hear. I'd notify the police that you got it back because it still may show as stolen in their files.

    The shackle is 4-1/2" wide and about 3" high. Let me know if that will work for you.

    Rummaged around in the garage again and found this shackle and bushing package, part # 1311192. One thread is left-handed, the other right-handed. Looks 'truckish' to me. Anyone know the applications(s)? Thanks in advance, Harold

    I had several Plymouths over the years that came with NY registrations and all of them had the engine number on the paperwork. The NY DMV is/was very nice to work with. It was an easy process to change the registration to the 'vehicle number' found on the hinge post.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    I believe Plymouth used Gemmer steering boxes, and Ford may have used them as well. That would account for some interchangeable parts.

    Somebody in Chicago is using this '50 year-round. My daughter took this picture last night!!

    I've towed several '51-'52 Plymouths with a tow bar. I clamped onto the front bumpers with no trouble at all. They follow easily and aren't real heavy. Don't forget safety chain. I wrote "In Tow" using pieces of masking tape on the rear window to alert people following me. If your car has been sitting, make sure the tires are not dry-rotted and hold air well. You may also want to check the rear end for grease in the differential.

    I found that making a couple of guide pins makes it much easier to install the trans. Get a couple of bolts with the same thread as the original mounting bolts, then cut the heads off the longer bolts and screw them into two diagonally-located mounting holes on the bell housing. Slide the trans into position on the pins you just made, put in two regular mounting bolts, then remove the 'pin-bolts' and replace them with the correct ones. You can also cut a slot into the end of each guide pin to make removal by screwdriver easy.

    Get a helper and have them pull out the hood release while you bang on the hood or try to lift it. Sometimes a little jolt is all it takes.

    Don't be surprised if it magically re-appears in the near future. Lots of shill bidding and deadbeat bidders make eBay interesting.

    FWIW, the '55 Imperial was 12V positive ground. I once had an NORS voltage regulator for one.

    I used a '53 ignition switch in my '52 Plymouth. Same switch body but no armored cable. Made wiring much easier.

    Who was the vendor? Do they have them for '51-'52 as well?
