This next car is our feature for Memorial Day...because I've got some tri tip in the sous vide pot and nothing to do for the next 4 hours...so time to share something that is red-white-and-blue to the bone. Find this 1955 Plymouth Savoy Coupe offered for $2500 in Belmont, MA via craigslist. Tip from Bill.
From the seller:
Here is a nice 1955 Plymouth Savoy coupe. It is a complete, running car. Try spending this kind of money for a ’55 Chevy or Ford, and see what you get. You’ll end up with a basket case that will take you years just to make it run & be drivable. It has a professionally rebuilt engine, that starts & runs perfectly. Three speed manual transmission. No surprises. If you’re looking for a 50’s era car that you can have some fun with, this summer, and not the summer of 2025, give it a look. The price is $2500, or closest reasonable offer. I don’t have time to play stupid games, so save your car report buying scams for someone else. Only contact by phone. NO EMAILS. Stay safe out there. PHONE ONLY. To further explain what that phrase means.....it means PHONE ONLY !!! Please re-read & re-read until the meaning becomes clear (PHONE ONLY).

I think this is a club sedan, not the coupe which was pillarless.
ReplyDeleteThat's about the prettiest radio delete I recall ever seeing.
Flathead 6 great motor's...
ReplyDeleteI loved reading about this one, it reminds me of my second car ever, which was a 56 Meteor sedan delivery (Ford in USA). It had radio delete and no outside mirrors or direction signals and a 260 Ford V8 with "3 in the tree" column shift. The cheapest and most trouble free car I ever had and real fun to drive in snow.
ReplyDeleteWow. I know people who buy everything all-wheel-drive because they live in Colorado and the roads might get a dusting of snow from time to time...and countless people who demand new cars because of safety feature XYZ...and then there is Mr Unknown who loves driving 55 Plymouths in the snow. You sir (or madam) are the real deal. -Vince "DT Editor"
DeleteReally? "tri-tip in the sous vide" on Memorial Day? Good God man, fire up the grill! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn my defense, I first sous vided the steak for 4 hours at 129degrees F and then blasted it under the sunfire blaze of my special BBQ side burner. It was delicious.
