BigDaddyO Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) This one is for all you weird wagon guys...Tim. 1956 Plymouth Plainsman Show Wagon. Edited January 17, 2015 by BigDaddyO Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 I like the lift up skirt and the immediate access to the spare...beats lifting it in and out of the conventional wagon of the era with it hidden behind a quarter panel on the inside... Quote
BigDaddyO Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 I'll bet it's a back breaker trying to put the spare back in there.... Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 when I bought my second Jensen Interceptor I arranged for it to be removed from a downtown Atlanta parking garage to a friends house about 15 miles away..the vehicle had been sitting since 1992 though it had been licensed and insured up until just two months prior. My friend took delivery of the car at this house and started to air up the tires and all but one would hold air..he searched the trunk for the spare and could not find it. Giving up he started to look at the car and check it out a bit and when he looked under the back he saw the spare mounted like that of the modern day truck or mini van...on a cradle that cranks up and down from inside the trunk..kinda ahead of the curve for a mid 60's designed sport car. I remember well the 66 Plymouth station wagon and removing the inside quarter trim panel for access to the spare..while one may be easier that the other in access...the exterior mounted is messy if raining or you are subject to driving on a dirt road....I imagine that the wagon above would be a tad dirty also...situated right behind the driven wheel 1 Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 They've certainly built a lot of interesting "idea" cars over the years. ;And as things have progressed, we find many of their styling features have been used in everyday cars. On the other hand, it's probably just as well that some ideas never moved forward. The Chrysler K310 completed by Ghia in 1951 was a pretty neat looking vehicle..........
