On mid fifties Mopar cars, is convertible frame beefed up more than two-door haardtop (no B-pillar)?

Missedc a 1956 Belvedere convertible by two hours today on EBAY. Instead of immediately clicking Buy It Now, I waited to hear from credit union to make sure funds were available. Oh well, anyone know of one in any shape? I would like to buy more realistically about year and a half from now. stan - southern illinois

Just starting my collection with one! Bill Luke Chrysler-Plymouth PHX ARIZ

Sure, but got to keep the batteries on the unit charged.

I'll check, it is tough to make out those numbers. Many, many thanks.

My dad bought a homemade small trailer in the late '70's, has a solid axle under it (automotive) with Chrysler hubcaps, I need to replace the bigger bearing, it is a Timken tapered roller bearing. The only number I can make out is 14230 (cup is 14274). Local parts house can get the cup but not the cone -14230. Anyone have a lead? (Old parts book to them is from the 1970's).

I'm from Illinois, but will be in Montana in July. Can you tell me anymore about the yard, location, etc.

Stamped on bottom is date Jan 28, 1953; and then 43870 FAE-17255-C thanks in advance

Located in southern Illinois. I can post down the road (six months or so) if you would like, if it becomes available.

I'll try tomorrow

Old store where I buy car parts is due to be demolished for new building. I had to get a picture of their freight lift (elevator) as I know it won't be used again. An old electric motor going into an old truck transmission is the backbone of the unit (homemade and handy). See if you can make sense of the pic.

I have an NOS center grill emblem - says "CUTLASS CRUISER". Anyone interested? I was thinking of EBAYing it.

Used in the Viking series I think. Friend put one of these engines in an Oliver farm tractor.

dont want to highjack your post, but very related. Early 50's Imperial ('51, '52 maybe?) for sale in southern Illinois, I can find out details if someone is interested.

Not a historian, but I think Chevrolet and Plymouth had warmed over models in 1952, Ford alone introduced a new body shell? If so, does anyone have units sold or market share percentages of the two years? Wonder if Ford's new model attracted new buyers. thanks, stan

Anyone need the chrome lettering? I have for one side, guessing mid 50's.

My very first car in 1965 was a '57 Special Convertible. Keep it stock. stan

don't know, but I dig your OC-3

Meant V-8 or course

suitable for easy installation into 1956 plymouth, wouldn't have to be from a '56, any mopar combo that would be dropped into the car without any mods. In St. Louis area

I bought a 1955 Ford that had a single leaf spring welded in where that crossmember should have been !

Wow, going on six years later, just acquired a 1948 Ambassador yesterday, still got 'em?

Don't have it home yet, haven't even seen it except by email, but I know I need a set of gravel guards for rear fenders. thanks, stan Ambassador 4 dr.
