PatS.... Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 From todays Shorpy, a Plymouth Suburban in a photo taken in 1953 http://www.shorpy.com/node/10541?size=_original Quote
Young Ed Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 The bumper and rocker trim should identify it as a 1950 model. Someone did some dressing up with the wheels/caps. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 The bottom color was an aftermarket addition because the fender welting is painted. The car also has wire whell covers. Very spiffy! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 the car in the left background dates this picture some also...being a 53 model club coupe..(no rear vent) the hubcaps on the wagon, manufactured by Cello, were first available maybe in 1953 and definitely 1954 forward...the oprional wire wheels themselves were made by Motor Wheels though many folks refer to them as Kelsey Hayes units as they were the more prominant name at the time..
