Added another car to the stable

So my girl has been perstering me for a car for a while now and I've quietly been looking. I was poking around that auction site last week and came across something I thought she'd like. It was close so I got to check it out before I bid, which is rare. Here's the rundown:
53 Plymouth sedan with Cranbrook tags, although the seller seemed to think it's not a real crankbrook.
89K-motor was rebuilt at some point according to the seller
The interior is in very good shape, hell it's immaculate compared to my Merc.
ok, enough rambling, here are a couple pics Nikki took this morning:










And a couple shots of my POS:




So there you go. I've got a 49 Chevy Truck en route from HotRodPrimer and should be here as soon as StevieG gets his rig straigtened out. Lemme know what you think.

 

nice man nice... always love the early 50s mopars, under rated in my eyes

 

Neat cars you have there! I also can't help but notice all that beautiful green grass & tall trees you have there to provide a perfect background for your cars. Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy

 

this coming from an Arizona guy yeah, i've got grass, and a lot of it. takes a long time to mow but it's great for the dogs.

 

here is a slide show that has some of the pics i took of my 53 cranbrook. I love this car. nobaody has them. yours is in great shape i am interested to see how it turn out. if you watch the johnny cash movie walk the line. he and his band tour in a cranbrook. pretty cool in my book.
take care.

Congratulations on your " new to you " purchases ... I have seen the 49 Truck from HRP ... in person and I like the Merc ... looks like you are going to need a larger garage ... or something is going to have to sit outside ...

 

So, what do you think of the truck? I'm patiently waiting for it to get here. Hopefully with a weekend or two of wrenching it'll be road worthy. PM me if you want.


Johny Clash, I just sent your FLICKR over to Nikki and she said she really likes your Ply.

 

cool thanks!
those cars can be really cool if you put a little thought into em'
good luck.

 

great score man, i always thought the early 50's plymouths where much overlooked kustom material.

 

of course she wants to paint it satin pink. It'd be a lot of work but maybe someday since it's got a blue interior and all blue under the hood.
