First Plymouth 1949 Special Deluxe

[Tim Larson]

The end of June I bought a 1949 Plymouth and it is a beautiful car. The brakes need some work and the engine died after driving a little while, but o don’t think anything major is wrong. 

 

The car is in wonderful shape for its age and is very original other than being converted to 12 volt.

 

I’ll try to add some photos.

Sweet looking car. Check the fuel pump, the old rubber diaphragm doesn't do to well with ethanol gas.

Thanks! The Merc is "ok" compared to the Plymouth - ha! It's an original '52 (other than engine rebuild in 2007)

Hello,

 

This car looks Great! The only thing I see is that the whitewalls need some cleaning.  I use that Wesleys Bleach White and then after they dry off I use a small brush to apply some Tire Black to make the tires look New!  Nicely detailed tires and wheels make the overall car look so much better. What does the engine look like? Show us some pics!

 

Have Fun !

Very nice find. Congratulations.

Went to get the car tonight, but the starter wouldn't turn the engine over. I could hear the starter spinning, but it wasn't engaging the flywheel. Did not have this happen before...

The engine looks pretty good. I'll share some pictures of that when I get a chance.

Parts stores all sell battery hold downs.

Ive relocated my battery to the trunk, let me know if you would like the tray and original hold down bracket. I might even still have the bolts.

very very nice original car. 

Except for the battery hold down?

Haha! Thank you. The battery hold down is from the previous owner when it was converted to 12v.

Would the battery hold down fit over a 12 volt battery? That is what is in the car. I'll probably change this at some point, but is not a big deal to me right now.

Took my Plymouth to a Threshing show yesterday and it was a 95 mile round trip. Ran great and made it there and back just fine. I was able to park it on the grounds of the show for others to enjoy.
