Bob Riding Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I found this clipping from the Feb 1948 Fresno Bee. Apparently Crocket Bros. had enough 1947 engines to offer the service. I wonder how many months at $3.71/mo it would cost to take home one of these beauties? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) The 50/50/50 Plan 50 dollars down, 50 dollars a month for 50 years As is typical for dealerships, they purge stock at approx. 10 years end of service/application and it was about 1980+/- when there was a glut of flathead on the market as the end use of the engines for most commercial applications come to an end.

Bob Riding Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 I was wondering if there are still "new" flathead 6 (or 4 or 8) motors out there, and pulled up this thread from @PT81PlymouthPickup. If so, probably military surplus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
