1955 plymouth Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I found this one on craigslist today, I wish I hadn't purchased too many cars already or I would be a player for this old girl at this price, he's only asking $4300 right now, WOW. here's the link http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/1440652217.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Nice car and not a bad price. I hope someone gets it with the intention of restoring it or at least keeping it as the survivor it appears to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM70's_48 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have two wishes: First that a car like this should pop up in Pennsylvania...second that I could spread fertilizer on my one car garage and help it grow to house three. I actually passed up even looking at a 47 Chevy over the summer...driveable for $2500...local. No sense in torturing myself, I have one old car...and no room for another.... I am starting to understand why some people have 50 cats...nice cars, in need of good homes...same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I believe those are the original bumpers for that car. I guess that's the one they copied for those aftermarket Bris bumpers people now put on rods and kustoms. Ya think???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparbenny Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 that ad looks familiar......yeh it's been on there for a while, if it was a '39 Desoto I'd be all over it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) I believe those are the original bumpers for that car.I guess that's the one they copied for those aftermarket Bris bumpers people now put on rods and kustoms. Ya think???? I briefly had a very rough conditon '37 Desoto parts car that I bought for the overdrive transmission and the two bumpers on it were ribbed just like the one posted so they are factory. Wish I knew what I know now about how much they are worth. I sold the car once I had pulled the tranny out of it. It went to a fellow who was restoring another '37 Desoto sedan.

Robert Smith Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Wish I had the room and the money! If someone wanted to buy my P-15 and this ’37 was driving and the interior wasn’t a rolling allergy looking for a place to happen then I’d be trying to get that ’37! I adore those hump trunks! Saw a really nicely ’38 DeSoto at the Pomona Auto Show… the guy was asking $18k and that thing was stock but had two carbs and a split manifold on that ol’ 6… said he got it up to 90mph and could have gone more… yeah, I was drooling… wanted that car! Inside and out it was a stock car but with a few extra balls for good long cruising. *Sigh* some day. PS: Don't see any tail lights on that buggy!

Young Ed Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Robert its a touring sedan. The plain sedan doesn't have the extra trunk. Calling it a hump trunk just doesnt sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
