Bleach1227 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Picked up a "new to us 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook" for a steal. Did find old registration in glove box with same mileage currently on the car, so who knows how long it sat. Miraculously drained gas , rebuilt carb, changed oil, and battery and life returned. Does appear to possibly be the original 18000 miles, by the very little wear on interior parts. Could use some body and paint work. Will be keeping as original as possible. Been lurking around and figured it was time to introduce myself. Have found quite a bit of great information here. Thanks for your help. 1 Quote

T120 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Nice looking car and welcome to the forum. Good you got it running without much trouble. A little caution on the gas tank when you drained it, if the remaining fuel was at all "skunky" and perhaps a little sludge maybe dripping into the pan at the end - best to drop the gas tank and clean it, as this may prevent problems down the road...

Barabbas Posted January 22, 2018 Report Posted January 22, 2018 Looks great! Does it have that distinctive Horsehair smell? I kind of missed that when I redid my seats 1 Quote
