Visited the Autorama Exhibit yesterday in Detroit and spotted 2 Plymouths, a 47 and a 49.

Did the 49 have a T-5 transmission?

Thanks for the pics.

I'm sure there were lots of nice cars there.

I wonder what model the trunk handle on the blue coupe is from.....

probably older. A bit different treatment.

And......those wire Chrysler wheels add a lot to even a fourdoor sedan.....IMHO.

Unsure, I just snapped the picture of this one instead of checking it out up close like the blue one.

I have seen that car before (Detroit 2008 POC meet) and spoke with the owner. He sells T-5 "kits" but I dont recall if he has installed one in that car.

The '49 and the '31 belong to Paul Curtice. He bought the '49 last summer.

Those were sharp cars! I was also quite fond of the 1957 Savoy that was in the basement

Miss going to that show each year. Mid 70's taking a customer's car down the night before show and snowing like crazy; 6 - 8 inches of fresh. Trailer tongue was sitting rather high on truck I was using. Only doing about 25 mph and slowed down for intersection and his car passed me and came to a nice safe stop in the snow. Never assume that someone else chained the car down or did it correctly. I just jumped in and drove away without checking it myself do to the weather. Oops !
