Robin (UK) Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I've enjoyed reading the comments on another thread, comparing P15 Plymouth and 1950s Volvo styling. So, for a bit of fun, I thought I'd share this photo of 1950s doowop group, The Medallions, posing with my '48 Plymouth coupe, way back in 2000 when I brought them to the UK to perform at our Rhythm Riot Festival. I did my best to recreate the picture in the style of the famous promo for their 1959 hit, '59 Volvo'. Here's a link to the song...

They represent a very unique line of car for Europe and were and actually still quite popular yet today. They can be expensive to find in turn key and still a modest investment in project form. I looked long and hard to find one and came across this one for a excellent price as a running model. It is in the queue is all I am going to say for now.....lol Pic as I found it and loaded it up.....The strap across the hood was redundant...as it hinges forward.....duh moment but par of a standard process I use when towing an unknown home....The Duett, wagon body based on this model is even a more rare and expensive adventure and a favorite of mine. I have two build ideas going on this and not sure which will win out......I vision this as a rear seat removed and inner structure welded in to make it a business coupe...it is as designed should easily transform to this build. I don't need no stinking family car..... Edited April 6, 2020 by Plymouthy Adams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconvan Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Nice! It is a family car but just for you and your sweetheart. Date night two seater, no kiddos allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwrstory Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Here's one I had years ago. Big plans for a little Red Ram Hemi that never happened. Wish I still had it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
