Good luck finding one. I knew  ONE family that owned one when they were new. They were rare then,and worked so hard they were beaten to death and had mostly disappeared in just a few years. I bet I haven't seen one in 30+ years.

I grew up in and live near Philipsburg, PA. A guy named Jim Verost has probably 50 of these thing in every configuration sitting in a lot. It used to be a Junk yard but he scrapped everything except these.

Do you mean Philipsburg, NJ and was this junkyard on a hill near the fairgrounds outside of town off Route 57?  If so, I was there in the late 1980's and it was probably the best old car yard I've ever seen.  They had a whole section for 1951-52 Plymouths (my favorites).  There must have been 50 of them parked in rows.  Amazing!

Nope different Philipsburg, this one sits on the Clearfield county and Center county lines in central PA 30 minutes west of State College, PA

I'd take the house first....

I'm only about 6 weeks into my first vintage car. A '53 Chrysler. 'My aleady up to my neck in a considerable home job. New valves and hand cutting seats. I find myself already scouting the net for a 40's 2 door coupe. Not to replace my '53 but supplement it. 

The lines of the Dodge/Plymouth of the era are spectacular. I could see this being a passion for a very long time. Too bad I had to wait so long to discover them. 

So if I could have one more today? A 40's coupe. I don't know enough yet to pick a model. As the years pass and I continue to be engrossed in the cars, I'm sure to find exactly what my next model will be.

Try to avoid falling in love with a 1942 anyting unless it is one already restored. Finding missing body parts can be a real bitch.

Love the FC's! Saw one at the auto fair in April, guy was asking 30grand for it. It was worth less than half that. JP magazine has had some good features on them over the last year or so. Had an immaculate FC 170 ( I think, it was the 3/4 ton model) with a late model diesel swap on big tires. 

 The military had a 4Dr version that was really cool. I've seen them for sale but your best hope would be to get one from the dry southwest. Like most old jeeps they love to rust. You do know JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket? Ask me how I know? Lol

One of these is close to the top of my list

I'd like to have the one owner, unrestored 1937 Plymouth PT50 pickup that I sold around 1983. I still miss that truck.

Sometimes I fell old enough and dumb enough to have done that. But it was a one owner ( a former Packard dealership service truck)  when I found it . I as the second owner.

The truck and the contents of the dealership had been moved from Indiana to a defunct country club property in northern KY when I bought it. I thought the stencil may have been an Indiana state requirement or maybe something from the war years. I should have bought the parts inventory as well.
