Plymouthy Adams Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 wow..am an avid wagon fan but that one just does not do it for me..the fact it is a two door makes up for a bit of it though...one thing about it..odds of someone with the same car parking next to you...slim to none..

oldodge41 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I like the Valiant better too. Dad had one like it when I was in high school. I used to use it when my car was broke down or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I believe it was officially the Plymouth Plainsman concept car in 1956. It also had a calf skin inspired interior. front end was pretty brutal also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Hemingway Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Looks to me like someone took the top off of a 1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser and turned it around that placed it on another car. Dennis:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manes Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I LOVE THAT GAUGE POD!! I used to prefer most of Chrysler's concept cars compared to the other mfgs. But this one just leaves me flat EXCEPT for that gauge pod. I really like that!!! Keep these kind of postings coming!!!!!!!! That is another one of the reasons I like this web site. Besides answering questions the members are always sharing items of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great minds think alike.............small ones seldom differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 That car has been around to other auctions, the last one I heard that it didn't sell at was Pebble Beach this past summer. Sometimes it doesn't matter how rare or what its history is. Ugly doesn't sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugly doesn't sell. That one has been on e-bay several times over the last few years. I think the last time it pulled close to $100K and did not meet reserve.

greg g Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Looks like the Plainsman name got used in Australia, on a Chrysler trimed 56 Plymouth bodied wagon. Isn't that a 53/54 roof line??? And here we thought they just had utes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Watson Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Chrysler Australia used the 1953 body through 1956. They sold them as Plymouth, Dodge Kingsway and DeSoto Diplomat. Chassis were imported from Detroit and Windsor, but the bodies were built in Australia. In 1957 they came out with the Chrysler Royal - the 1953 body with a 1955-56 Plymouth front clip, 1956 Plymouth rear quarter panels and a wraparound rear window. The second series added the Plainsman wagon and Wayfarer ute. The third series had an instrument panel with styling taken from the 1960 Plymouth. The last one was built in early 1963.
