Canadian dollars. About $58,000 in US dollars. Looks quite nice. Maybe the spring fever convertible market fever would bear an actual sales price approaching that.

Wait! I can definitely see this over-restored at the next '55-57 Chevy nationals in 2025. Everybody wants something to stand out that the next guy can't possibly match. And Monday to Friday its a big money maker!

WONDERFUL outcome PMDOLAN !!! Congratulations on "my" PB and your collection!

Pulled one of these out from under many years of ivy growth in a backyard in Stanton, CA some 20(?) years ago. What a day that was. It was worth the effort though. I passed it on to a Canadian who did a deserved major restoration of the car. '32 PBs are Plymouth's highest development of that solid 4 cylinder motor and are truly handsome!
(Had I done the car, it definitely would have had blackwalls.)

I like the car as is at the price well enough. What would really be fun would be the visit to "SODDY DAISY", Tennessee, wouldn't it?

My parents flew into LAX to visit me at school in '66. The very last rent car available from Hertz was a pewter '66 Toronado so dad took it. I had the opportunity to drive it to the large empty school park lot on the weekend. Backed up to a curb, brake torqued it and took off in a significantly large cloud of smoke for at least 100 feet. That dual stripe stayed on the lot a couple months as I recall.
I WILL NEVER FORGET THE '66 TORONADO !!!

Have to assume this is a 300 Sport model, not a 300H Letter Car. The problem with the '62 Sports has always been that the customer in the showroom, as I recall, could literally check every necessary option box to get all that the H -car package came with to begin with. From the text and pictures we at least know it has the front swivel bucket seat and he says it is a 413. How helpful would an engine photo be? Block better be stamped with "41" because the Sport came with a "38" for the standard 383" engine.
It may have a single 4bbl or dual inline 4bbls or even the 405HP short-long ram setup. A VIN would be a starting place. But the FREE documentation available by sending that VIN and proof of ownership to Stellantis Chrysler Archives would give the car valuation. Until then its just some old Chrysler, but at least a coupe.

Pertronix solid state ignitions, which are invisible to all but the most trained eye, were made for any and all difficult to access distributors. Of particular note are Ford Y-Blocks, first generation MoPar Hemis, and any '30s-40s car with hood side panels needing unbolted for we old men to be able to bend and reach a low-on-the-block-side distributor. I have multiple installs!

Since this car is some 100 miles away from me and I own a nice '55 Newport, I tried multiple times to contact seller. Great parts car!!!
ZERO communication returned. Coming up on one week. Good luck if you also have interest.

'56 Dodge Hemi, 285 HP solid lifter version. Yes, non-authentic air cleaner and has an alternator conversion fronting the PS pump.

I saw this ad while up. The photos showed a NON-Hemi poly head V8 so I kindly explained the error to the seller. He told me IN NO UNCERTAIN terms that I had NO IDEA what the ____ I was talking about.
I sold my REAL-Hemi '56 Dodge convertible in January. But hey, what do I know.
Hope the next owner did not think he was buying a Hemi car.

Still has the original PowerFlite trans information sleeve (printed on card stock) on the driver's visor to teach the new owner which button to select to go forward and back. I don't think that sleeve was ever reproduced for the purist restorations. Nice touch saving a note of authenticity like that.

I'd like to point out that this is a 1955 Dodge with a 1956 Dodge front clip on it, a minus as far as I'm concerned. So what's up with that?
The top-of-hood chrome ornament with the twin wind splits is indeed '56 Dodge. That same ornament had one, center wind split in '55. The headlamp doors and short side follow chrome flowing off them is '55. Other than that, there is no difference in the '55 to '56 front end. Unless its bumper guards?
The amber lenses in the back up lamps aren't correct. Factory aircleaners and horns were BLACK of course.
So, it never hurts to ask for Chrysler Stellantis build document (free) to deternine whether this was originally a Hemi car. Check the model code leading the engine number on the front center top of the engine block for a start.

The Commodore interiors are spectacular but the original material (like so many cars of the postwar era) had prominent stripes to it. I'm not seeing any, although the photos are less than adequately lit to be certain. Point being, I think the interior was redone in plain blue and gray. So note that in valuing the car.
Not sure but think the Hudson world is down to no more than TWO guys that are still doing rebuilding of these cork clutches. I'd check into that before any purchase.
What is unfortunate for the survival of manual shift Hudsons is that NO ONE EVER has come up with a modification to swap out all the "cork and oil" related clutch equipment for a dry, easily replaced, interchange of parts.
All Hudsons from 1911 through 1954 used some version of the cork clutch. Exceptions are only the '53 and '54 H Jet compacts. A fantastically smooth and long-lived engineering coup SO LONG AS THEY ARE MAINTAINED with simple "Hudsonite" oil change maintenance. A friend drag raced a stepdown coupe for a couple seasons and NEVER had a clutch problem!

Looks to be "down the road" now....
This Listing Isn't Available Anymore
It may have been sold or expired. Take a look at these other items below. -
Watching the video, there are "smoke signal" staccato puffs coming out one tail pipe. I'm guessing the big 354" Hemi has a cylinder problem in one of them; hydraulic lifter or valve being most likely. That could be stopping the car from selling. Anyone here lifted a Hemi cylinder head out of a car lately? I USED to be capable. I honestly no longer am that strong!
Other than that I'd guess the price very fair but I'm viewing it from 1500 miles away.

Looks very nice but going to have to guess the interior is totally redone due to the windlace having been created using the same reproduction cloth as the seats. All Hudson stepdown windlace was a plain nondescript material (like all of the industry) that simply complimented (not duplicated) the seating colors.
Pacemakers are the entry level model so have the 232" flat six and anything else you wanted was optional like radio and heater etc, etc!

Appears to be sold now. Ad gone. I'm aware there were perhaps a handful of them total. Think I have another still somewhere in files. Forward Look era. No great info in them. A curiosity for promotional use that a dad at a car show might pick up for his son?
