Neat old Plymouth I saw today

[steveplym]

I was out today running around as usual for work and one of the shops I go to knew I like old mopars. They showed me a '55 Plymouth. This one is all original and only has 18,000 miles on it. V8 powered with the original paint job. Apparently the owner wanted to see if he should paint it and the shop manager talked him out of it, being the original paint and all. Some minor rust spots, but otherwise in great condition.

The current owner bought it from an older couple that kept it garaged all its life. Driven only on the weekends and in nice weather only. Pretty neat old car. I don't know as much about this model year, but I figured some of you other guys might get a kick out of it.

WOW! What a find! I wish I could find a garage treasure like that...lucky new owner...

Looks like it JUST turned over 18K.

There's a similar looking one in a guy's garage over in Kansas,

maybe 30 miles from here.....has only 13,000 on it. Still has

the owners manual and a license topper with the dealer's name,

in the trunk.

The one pictured is a V8 with Powerflite automatic......has the shift lever to

right of the steering wheel, on the dash.

That front grill is killer looking.

The current owner bought the car 15 years ago. So he has had it a while. I didn't ask how many miles were on it when he bought it.

A little better look at the front end.

I forgot the picture of the motor.

Its got the fairly rare optional hollywood steering wheel

I thought of you today when I saw this car Ed. Figured you would know a lot about it.

I really want a 55-56 mopar for my next purchase. Guy in the neighborhood has a 55 Chrysler 4dr. Hemi power steering power brakes I think power seat and windows too. Its blue. He spent a boat load fixing it up and then never drives it. It wouldn't even start when he tried to give us a ride in it.

That Poly is a thing of beauty. Let me know if he wants to get rid of the motor:D I'm trying to put one back together for my '50 Wayfarer

Man, that really is a beautiful piece of classic machinery. Looks like it's been held in a time vault. I really hope the new owner can respect it by leaving it as it is and not customize or lower it...etc.

From what I hear this car is staying as is. Looks like it will need a little bit of rust repair, but the shop is going to do as little paint work as possible to preserve the original paint. Looks like it needs a good polishing job and it should be good to go.
