49 Plymouth

[Latofel]

 Purchased a 49 Plymouth recently and I am now going through the process of restoring the car. This website has already helped with finding some information on the car, and I am sure I'll have more questions in the future. 



Its kinda funny I had no interest in cars until I saw this thing sitting with a for sale sign in the window on the way to work. Guess it just takes the right car.

Cool car.

Agreed, great old Plymouth.

Nice thing about these, parts are readily available and generally quite affordable. That's one area where we tromp the  Duesenberg crew! ?

I like the quality of these cars but every MoPar car I have owned drove the same. '48 Ply, '52 truck, '69 Super Bee, '70s Dart, 77 New Yorker. I never did like the clutch action, gear ratios, or how they acted when cold. Of domestic makes, I like Chevy first, then Ford. I find each company tries to keep the driving characteristics of their cars very similar to their predecessors. All the Chevys I drove acted similar as well as the Fords all had similar feel all the way back to my model A. Yes your Plymouth is a great car,
