NOT MINE 1955 Plymouth Plaza Wagon $5,900 Listed a week ago in Tucson, AZ

[marty mopar]

First year forward look mopar station wagon with fins. Very similar to a 55 Chevy but far more unique. Just turned 70 years old! Box A miles, runs with gas down the carburetor, excellent candidate to make a cool cruiser, even has an overdrive transmission. Wide white walls on a near perfect patina just make the car. I was planning on a light mechanical restoration, interior, patch the floors and enjoy. Yes that means that even though it’s an Arizona car, there is some rust on the floor pans and a spot on the rocker. The Mona Lisa isn’t perfect either. Engine makes good oil pressure, most of the glass is excellent, passenger wing window will need replaced. These don’t come up for sale often, neat old Plymouth that still has the plastic headliner!

"Very similar to a 55 Chevy but..." what an odd thing to say. I mean, it's "very similar" to every other '55 car at that rate.

It'd be nice to see a car like this restored rather than stay in its "patina" era, a look that I see as just a lazy man's approach to restoration. "It's only original once" doesn't matter when half the paint is rust and the other half is so faded it bears no resemblance to what it was originally.

Overdrive is cool, I don't see that come up very often.

The rust is going to be a problem
