Yes I do. If you're interested let me know.

Joe, There's a full-page ad reprint with a photo of a woody wagon, two more wagon photos (one steel and the other a woody) and some references to the wagon as far as options. There might be one or two more references that I didn't catch.

I remember reading somewhere that Allstate cars didn't have a trunk lid but Henry the J's did. I never checked into this but it might be true.

Gotta go! Send offers!

The days of the factory tour seem to be behind us, but years ago they were more commonplace. When I was a kid in 1965, I toured the Ford plant in Mahwah, NJ. I also had a plant tour of the GM Lordstown, OH plant when the first-year '67 Camaros and Firebirds were being produced. I toured the GM plant in Linden, NJ a couple of times, once in the early 1970's (I believe they were making Chevy Monte Carlos) and also in the early 1980's (Toronado, Eldorado, and Riviera). The tours were always fun and educational. I still recall the paint shop on the assembly line in Linden where they had a bake-sand-bake process to achieve a smooth shiny finish. Have you ever toured a car factory? If so, when and where?

Try the factory parts manual to see what the hose should look like. They usually have exploded-view diagrams that can be quite helpful.

When I was about 4 years old my father had me steering our '52 Plymouth. A while later he had me sit next to him and change gears every time he yelled 'shift!'. The first time I completely drove a car was on July 4,1969 in the parking lot of the EJ Korvettes store on Staten Island, NY. I was 15 and the car was a '65 Dodge Coronet 440.

Call the Chamber of Commerce to see if there is a local car show in or near the town. You may get the name of the event organizer who would have insights into whether the car you're looking for is in the area.

Was the auctioneer Rex Accurso by any chance? He would always get a chuckle out of the crowd one way or another.

Thanks for the update.

I've had several of these cars and (not to pat myself on the back....) am fairly knowledgeable about them. The '50-'52 rear fenders are the same for business coupes and sedans. I'll look for a part number and let you know.

I'm a big fan of '51-'52 Plymouths. I have 2 P23's now and have had several others in the past. There are many fairly obvious differences and also a number of subtle changes from one year to the other. I gave up trying to correct sellers a long time ago. I never got a thank you or even a nasty reply and decided it wasn't worth the effort. PS: If you want to discuss these years of Plymouth send me a PM.

My neighbor's nephew (in his early 30's) nearly passed out when I told him that in the early 1980's banks were giving 15-18% plus gifts for opening an account.
