oldodge41 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 I found these two pics of my uncles Chrysler Plymouth dealership from back in the 40's and 50's. What year does it appear to be from the new cars? My Dad and uncles used to talk about the "Garage" all the time. These pics surfaced a couple times in the family and this time I snagged them. I don't think I posted them here before. If I did, sorry. Mom used to laugh about taking her drivers test in a tow truck, I wonder if this was it? It was definitely a family business. I don't believe they operated it into more than the mid to late 50's at most. As a kid we used to find all kinds of stuff in the attic of my grand-paps garage and he would say "just old junk from the garage". Man would I like to have that junk now! 2 Quote
pflaming Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) The cars are 1951’s or ‘52’s. Great photos. Edited March 28, 2020 by pflaming Quote
Young Ed Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 Because of the front license plate brackets I'm going to say those are 51s. 52s had slots in bumper for the plate to bolt directly to 2 Quote

Makes me want to jump into one of those Plymouths and drive away. Kinda strange that Chrysler included the license plate brackets on cars being shipped to a one-plate state like Pennsylvania. When I worked at dealerships in the 1980's the front plate bracket was coded separately on the factory order based on where the car was being shipped-to. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 Cool photos indeed, thanks for sharing. I get a kick out of old dealership and dealership equipment photos, especially tow trucks. Quote
pflaming Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 The bow tie on the hood says chevy. Interesting that in that line up is a convertible and a suburban. What year is the Chrysler? Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 As the other Plymouth's are 51's.. The Chrysler most likely is a 1951 Windsor or V8 Saratoga...52's are nearly identical. Quote
