Jerry's "New" car

[bamfordsgarage]

My very good friend and road trip partner Jerry has just joined the Mopar gang with purchase of this 1950 Plymouth from an aging local club member.

 

It's probably the sweetest-running and smoothest-driving car of that vintage I have ever experienced. Original engine and radio, overdrive, first rate steering and brakes, very nice recent interior and woodgrain. Previous owner drove it to Virginia and back a few years (and only a few miles) ago.

 

Of course it hasn't near the patina of my D25...

Tried to attach this as a second photo to the original post, but no luck until now.

Wow it looks great!

Is it a Deluxe, or a Special Deluxe?

Were the Plymouths of that era built in Canada ?

Does it have the 23" or 25" block?

Sorry for all the questions, but this gives me a chance to sort out some things about my car (1950 Dodge Special Deluxe) ?

Thanks

Neil

Sweet ride.

I learned to drive in a 1950 Plymouth.

Fantastic!  Love the look of that car!

Love my '50 Dodge.  I wish I had overdrive...bit jealous!

nice sedan. My first car was a 50 fastback, black. What all I did in that car is lost to the ages!

 Congratulations,  My favourite car has always been the 50 Plymouth

(or like Neil, a D36 Dodge)  My current 50 P20  came out of California

so it has the 23 inch engine and Overdrive has been installed, I have owned it

for almost 25 years. I have never been without one for over 50 years now.I drove my

first one 120 000 miles over what it had when I got it. Never tired of driving it.

note to Neil, just what do you need to know about the D36 ?
