'50 Deluxe

[1955 plymouth]

Check out this "50 Deluxe, I am thinking about picking this one up tomorrow morning. Let me know what you all think. Pretty clean original car.

From what I can see, that looks like a pretty nice car.

Maybe a little rust just below the bottom of the trunk lid.

How are the floors?

Nice.

I know the drivers rear has a hole in the floor, I was told that was it. Here is a pic of that and a couple others. Thanks, the opinions really do matter to me.

Decent looking car. I love that colour on the old Plymouths. It all comes down to price and if you like the car. If the price was in my range, I wouldn't hesitate. Love the dashes in those cars.

Engine bay looks typically dirty.

Probably a good reason there are indian blankets on the seats.

How are the seats, really? They can always be recovered when

you get ready.

I was told the front seat could use re-upholstered, The price I can come away at is $2000 I think this is a good deal? Classic cars are all different I know depending on care over the years and garage time spent.

[BobT-47P15]

Sounds respectable to me.

I presume it runs ok and you can drive it home??

The most common area to look for Rust is in the inner rockers and the ends of the body support braces, or maybe you know this. I don't know where you are but where I live that car, at that price, would be a gift. Brendan.

I paid $1800 for my '50 about 9 years ago. It was in similar condition, less rust but had a few dents and some bent stainless trim.

I would pull up the rubber floor mat and look at the front floors. I don't know if I've ever seen the rear floors rust out like that, but the fronts have low spots in the outer front corners where the body mount bolts are and they are the typical rust out spots, along with the rockers. If the rears are gone, I'd bet the fronts are about the same.

We went and picked the old car up today. We coulnd't secure a car trailer anywhere close by so I wound up driving the old girl home, approx 133 mile road trip. Today we went thru some sun breaks, a lot of rain, and even found some hail but the old Plymouth powered thru it all without the slightest hesitation. The odometer only shows 28456 miles, smooth ride, not sure if it has 28k or 128?? either way is fine with me, the only real cancer is in the rear drivers side floor, everything else is only surface. So here comes the next project for me and Dad to work on. We will call this one his for now.

$2000 is a steal. I paid $300 for door hinges!

Looks like a nice car. Always fun to drive home a car you just bought. Especially if it's an old car.

[RobertKB]

Good for you! Looks like you got a jewel there!

[Niel Hoback]

You really got a good one there! Looks like someone already converted to a paper air filter for you. Nice steering wheel, too. For all you Canucks; beauty, eh?

[rolliejoe]

Nice looking car and I think you got a good deal on it.
