If you've driven a '54 Chevy, which was hardly cutting edge technology at the time, driving a late prewar car like this Plymouth, if the suspension and brakes are in good condition, wouldn't be that dissimilar of an experience. 55 MPH would be a good upper limit. Prewar cars can go faster if they've been properly maintained, some of them much faster, but the engine noise will tend to keep you from exceeding the other design limitations.

You're finding some interesting cars, Xander! Keep up the good work. Looks like it's the short wheelbase (128") Series 10. With the 353 ci V8, it probably goes pretty good. Asking price is top dollar. Interior shots?

Interior's a little rough, but if everything works, not a bad price.

Very cool, but very far gone.

Sharp car, and I like the colors. 324 with a stick sounds like fun.

I can see the seller's point. He/she wants to have a fistful of $100 bills change hands, and the car to go away. Probably works full time. No diddling around with banks, shipping, etc. On the buyer's side, this isn't a rare car the average hobbyist might spend years searching for. Let someone in the Bay Area buy it. It's important to know what you're buying, but the whole "travel to see the car, maybe get a hotel, find out it has rusty rockers, the engine makes nasty noises, etc., and fly home empty handed" adventure should be reserved for something rare/highly desirable.

Klaatu. Barada. Nikto.

Looks pretty good to me. Maybe have the front seat upholstery re-fitted, but otherwise, good to go. I like the ribs on the whitewalls. Agree with Hudsy Wudsy, great cars, and the asking price isn't far off the mark.

You get this car, a series 90 hearse of the same year, and a bunch of parts for $60K.

One of the coolest domestic car designs. A pity it's been neglected. It'd be an easier decision if it was a more desirable body style. Massive re-chrome cost. Seller implies it runs?

It'd be interesting to find out what led the seller to increase the price. It's a nice car, but I thought the asking price was optimistic to start with. I've used K&N filters, and the only difference I noticed was the price (which is substantial).

Solid ad. I like it!

Garages are getting smaller again. Daughter bought a new 2150 sq ft house in 2015, and the garage is 19'4" square. When we moved to the Seattle area, we had to pass by a bunch of houses with garages too small to accommodate the (226") '71 Eldorado we owned at the time. Seems like a lot of people have decided garages are just really convenient storage units rather than a place to park a car. Anyway, the car listed looks like a good deal-barring significant rust-in spite of the upholstery.

Listing deleted. Didn't last long!

Sharp. I inherited a '55 Victoria HT from an uncle, V8 with manual/overdrive. Great-looking cars, and I think undervalued. Upholstery isn't anything like original, but tasteful. Asking price is a good basis for negotiation.

Minor dent, huh? Looks like it was left out in the elements for a few years after the first photos were taken. '59's go for crazy money, and it's advertised as a CdV. I bet it went close to asking price.

Ouch. Maybe $2500-3000 for parts. It is a coupe with side mounts, so there's some value. Bakersfield car, so likely not much rust.

Looks like the driver's door is sagging. Gap at the front edge is wider than the passenger door. Very long, very heavy doors, so hopefully all it needs is an adjustment. Looks to be a pretty good asking price, but "firm" price ads are problematic. Maybe a car is EXACTLY as described, or underpriced, but usually not. Better to leave a little slack in the price for issues the seller isn't aware of (or willfully ignoring).

Good asking price for a nice cruiser. Front seat looks pretty tired. 208K miles? Not sure about the "occasional" speedo cable whine. Maybe the head unit? "AC not charged" could be trouble with the climate control, a major PIA. I've been there. Worth a look.

That's a beauty. You don't seem to see as many really nice '36's as '37's and '38's. Nice asking price, too. Bravo, Matt.

I think the seller would like us to decide for ourselves. My guess is $50K.

Nice car, but vague ad. What does the transmission need, and is there anything besides that driver's front fender dent to fix? Brightwork looks good. I've never understood foam dice on the rear view. They'd drive me crazy.

"ride like ice"? Body looks good, and I like the color. Doesn't look all that custom, aside from the upholstery and wheels. No engine bay shots?

And a "clean" vehicle title. We might be tempted to blame spellcheck, but those are some strange errors. And it's 4WD? $16K sounds about right. It is a nice car, and I like the dual carb setup with the slant 6, although the chromed valve cover just looks trashy. Bet it's a fun driver.
