Features 1950-1953 Plymouth & Dodge Thread....lets see what you got.

Well, since you asked... I love it.

The '50 Dodge is my favorite, styling wise, of the '49 to '52 MoPars, and the business coupes are my second favorite body style after the four-door sedans.

I have A 1952 plymouth cambridge 4 door its all orig. with the 217.8 flathead six with the 6 volt system its going to stay all orig. but the paint when im done if I can ever stop driving it long anuff hahaha

 

Here's one i picked up about 8 months ago, i know most of you are going to hate me but i dropped in a 350/350 combo and you know what, i love it!!

this is a photo from GNRS out here in Pomona in Jan.

 

Nice paint, quite an eye catcher. It's your car put what you want in it. I guess I'll forgive the Cheby, since your plymouth didn't come with a hemi. Joke.

 

Nice looking car!

I won't personally advocate using a 350/350, but in the fifties cars it doesn't bother me as much because the hoods stay closed. Its more important that you have it out on the road and are enjoying it!

Now, if you were going to run an open engine compartment....

 

Here's mine you sluts, 1950 Chrysler Royal. Anyone going to Viva in April?

 

We'll be at Viva as usual......no car with us tho'...... :0(

 

What a treat to cruz this old thread again, my MoPar jones is raging again. These cars are so seldom seen and then they pop up on this thread like crazy. Thanx to all that posted, especially love the cutie women in a few of the pix, especially the sweetie by the chooped rig at the drive inn teatro, yikes. Thanx gang. ~sololobo~ My newer Suburban, breaking out of the year specific here.

 

So this past weekend a couple friends picked up this old treasure! To bad she is to far gone to save. The person where it came from was keeping it in his sheep and chicken pen........

 

nice car a buddy of mine had the same model and drive train he love it too

 

thanks, appreciate the kind words, and you are right, it didnt come with a hemi, or any motor at that, so to fit with the money i had to get this bad boy on the road, in went the motor i did have, a chevy. I do appreciate not getting flamed though, thanks.

you are very correct, it is on the road and I'm driving it, and thats the best part to me, its not original- ok, it doesnt belong- fine, am I driving it- YES. it really is a great car, and thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!

Your friend is a very lucky guy as i am, it really is an awesome car to drive, this badboy has taken me many places and has not let me down,

i didn't know there were so many plymouths' out, many many great looking cars, glad to own one.

Here's another shot, gotta say i love this angle.

 

Here is my 1951 Plymouth with Desoto Badges and grill. It's from The Big Island of Hawaii. They call it a Hilo Sampan bus. One of 12. I'm hopping up the flathead with Earl Edgy Head and cam, Headers, electronic ignition 12 volt alt. I don't know what carburators I'm going to use. Two 94 or 97? May two Holly webbers? It has a over drive in it. It cruises real nice.

 

Nice hop up parts! Would fit nice in my Soto to. Expensive???

 

Heres my toy! I need new leaf spring thoe!!! Got me some sag!

 

51 Plymouth I'm building for a customer:

 

Here's my 50 I am now getting ready for paint

 

a shot of the new interior I did.

 

That 5 speed ting sounds good. Is there any adapters for flathead 6 to T5 geraboxes or TH 700 automatics? Dont think the fluiddrive is the optimal thing for my ride.

 

i just updated my build thread with a teaser the interior.

 

I can't help with the gm stuff but if you can use a Mopar box, 5-6 speed or Torqueflight, let me know.

Wilcap does adapters to go from the MoPar flatheads to both a Chevrolet-pattern automatic and stick.

Mine!! quick mock-up with lakes and caps

 

nice coupe there but ixnay on the ipespay

 

Here's my Grandfather's Dodge Truck. He bought it new in 1950. He bought and used it as a farm truck. My grandparents lived in Sunnymead, Ca. (now Moreno Valley), they farmed 40 acres in the 50's into the 60's. The truck was only used on the farm, and occasional trips to town, but never more than 50 miles from home. I live less than 20 miles from where their farm was, so it's still within 50 miles of the farm.. It was repainted while my mother owned it, in the 90's, and is 100% original, including the "cardboard" interior panels. It runs ok, but needs fuel system work.
