erikquick Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Hey folks, So happy to have found this forum! I'm a proud new owner of a P23 - a 1952 Cranbrook coupe. Well restored a few years ago, and picked it up recently from Palm Beach. Transported to Long Island and hope to get it out cruising ASAP. Looking to contribute to the forum and learn a LOT more!

JerseyHarold Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 Welcome to the forum. I'm very partial to '52 Plymouths (have had several) and yours is a beauty. It's actually a Belvedere 2-door hardtop, the top of the line in the Cranbrook series. Is there still a flathead six lurking under the hood? Quote
plymouthcranbrook Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 Very nice car. I also have a 52 but it is a four door. Welcome. Quote
erikquick Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Thank you all! Yes, @JerseyHarold it is still the flat 6. Has an Offenhauer intake and dual carbs. Needs a little cleaning up and i’m still trying to understand the ignition system (converted to 12v) but it’s very clean and looks like it was well put-together. Past owner was a car collecter in North Carolina... I have his name somewhere. Edited August 6, 2018 by erikquick Quote
rvannoy1 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 Welcome to the forum erikquick and just sit back and learn a lot about old Mopars. Lets see some more photos of your new ride. Quote
MarkM Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 Your car makes me remember terms I haven’t heard in a long time: nosed and decked, frenched headlights. Is the windshield divider removed? The striping is subtle and nice, as are the red wheels. I wonder how the wheel covers were created? Can’t wait for interior pics and a pic of the stance. What a beautiful car! Congrats. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Posted August 7, 2018 Yes......I noticed those old custom touches too...........and perhaps fender skirts........along with a pretty original color scheme paint job. Please add a few more pics when you have time. Welcome to the forum. Quote
erikquick Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Posted August 7, 2018 Thank you. Yes, I was impressed by the love and care that went into this resto/mod. IMO very tasteful now, if anyone can help me figure out why I have no spark to the coil... Quote
