Here's some recent pics of mine after buffing the satin black into shiny black.
Before:

After:

 

I traced the serial number, and it was build & sold in So Cal. No telling where it was from 1947 'til 1985 though.

 

This car rocks! It's an oddball, but that makes it fun.
But it's obviously a serious car as well.
Best of both worlds, IMO.

 

To me all of these cars are a piece of art. Just vision of someones dream .... and not in a field going to he'll!

My '48 won the "Modified Mopar" class last weekend at the big local area annual car show. There were only two Mopar classes - stock and modified, unlike the Fords and Chevys that seemed to have a separate class for every three years of every model ever produced. I couldn't believe mine won over all the modified Challengers, Chargers, Barracudas, Hemis, you name it.

The great part - the second place guy had an early 50s Mopar.

Old school rules !

 

Here's another Plymouth that was on the field - the guy who brought it did all the work (7" chop !) himself, and was justifiable proud of his work. He and I are both over 6' tall and fit in his rod with head room to spare. This guy has serious skills. I thought he should have won the class.

 

`47 Chrysler Royal 3 window barn find from Eastern Oregon, just received import approval to bring this car over to Australia...

 

I think that would make an awesome roadster....

 

You are probably right, if I squint my eyes, I can visualize it as a roadster, that would show the British how to make a classy looking Post War sports car ...3"section, raise the wheel arches, add Hemi...

 

thats exactly what mine would have been like from the factory
Mines in the process of a rhd conversion and a hemi implant

Ben, describe the parts you are using for the RHD conversion.

 

well mine has been modified a fair bit so wont be much like yours.Its got a mustang2 front clip and a 58 ford thunderbird dash. The dash will mirror over and ive got a cortina rack that will go in.Other than that ive got no other plans until I get it apart

 

Well that's far more than I'd imagined, but it would be a lot of metalwork to keep you busy.

I'm wondering what it'd look like with the headlights shaved off smooth & new hidden (flip-over) rectangular lights in the grille?

 

Here's my P10, was a 38,000 mile one owner car when I bought it in 1972. Not stock now.

 

Doesn't matter how hard I squint my eyes now, I can't make that modification work for me...

 

LOL...Some things are just not made to be...
