    For Sale: 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook Convertible Coupe - "Very nice" - Pawleys Island, SC - Not Mine

    in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale

    Posted · Edited by plymouthcranbrook (see edit history)

    Being a 1950 Chrysler product the value will be automatically much lower than a comparable Ford or GM model. As much as I personally like them the styling had become outdated compared to the other makes. Reliability was always their strongpoint. That one in my opinion might bring $15,000 from someone who really wants one.  Nothing official there, just what I might pay if the rest of the car was as nice as the photos seem.

    My late Father when looking to purchase anything from an individual as opposed to a retail establishment would absolutely not buy if he could not talk the seller down at least a minimum amount.  I saw him walk away from several deals over $10.  He was a hobo during most of the Depression and I guess it became hard wired in his brain.

    I am sure many of us older folks can remember seeing a car “ doglegging” it down the road with rear wheels following a different track from the fronts. We were taught when looking at a car we might want to buy to drive it through a puddle and then stop and look at the tracks. If the tracks didn’t align a bent frame or suspension was a good probability.

    Is there a Plymouth/Dodge/Mopar club like the Pontiac Oakland Club?

    It seems to me that the Plymouth owners club has more articles on 50'60'70s cars now.  Every now quarterly publication has more and more later year Plymouth articles than pre-war cars.   Most of the articles are submitted by members.  If the owners of the later Plymouths do not submit articles it will appear that there is no interest in these cars.

    And I have been gone for 10 years so my data is old. Newer members might equal newer cars.

    in my expereience the plymouthclub has very little interested post 1950 cars. and no interst in muscle cars

    My experience is somewhat similar except the local that I was in seemed to be primarily consisting of pre 1970 cars. Mostly 40’s through 60’s with a scattering of pre war vehicles. When I bought my 1980 Volare four door sedan I got laughed at by some members for buying a piece of junk.  Just a few of them it’s true, but some.  My experience at the National event I attended was different as  the car was welcomed by several members though that said mostly those who owned “newer” models.
