flamdit---Thanks for your comments. Some pictures of the Suburban ( I had some posted early in this thread but that was before I added the repro Lancers I believe).

 

I have one from a 55 Chrysler and one from a 66 DeSoto. PM me if you're interested. dan

Here's some Stewart warners in stock 55 dodge bezels



Satan's Chauffeurs

.

 

Obviously a typo.... it's a 55 DeSoto. good catch...

 

these body styles are amazing. love the lines! i have a 54 savoy, a little more bubblie!

 

What do you guys think? Caps, or no Caps? I'm torn! That's my baby checking out our projects.

 

I like the caps - what does your helper think?

 

Go with the caps & put some Red lines on it

 

the nice thing about it is that you can go one way until you tire of it and then the other way, but personally I like the caps.

 

She just really likes being in the car. I guess I should ask her about the caps.

 

I just popped for the blackwall firestones, so no red lines for that old girl.

 

I've never been a fan of the naked wheel look...I like the caps.

 

Caps for me!

 

I have a friend that has a 55 Plymouth 4 dr. , with a Pontiac V6 and tranny in it. Has a home made intake with dual carbs. He was going to send it to the scrap yard, but I got it on hold. Body looks pretty solid with a couple small dents. Interior is suffering a bit. Still runs and drives. Anybody interested in it? He also has a 56 Desoto body that was going the same way. I just hate to see these old cars in the scrap pile. If interested, call him at 605-350-5273. Cars are in South Dakota.

 

Thanks for posting their are Homes for these Wayword creatures! Mater of fact for some it is MOPAR or NOCAR

 

I like the caps as well, moparmetal

 

heres my 55 Plaza

 

Nice looking Plymouth! Give us some more details on it.

 

Man, too bad we're 1500 miles apart. Our cars would be the terrible twosome for sure. Nice car!

 

I have a heavily modified 55ply sedan and wagon.

 

midnightoil---Your Plymouth looks like a lot of work went into it. How much is it chopped? Post more pictures and give us more details when you can. Looks great!

I'll be repainting my 56 Plaza that eggshell color the Fury's came in,but I dont know what exact color to ask for. Do any of you know exactly what color I need? Just starting with the underhood stuff now,but I want to get it right. Thanks.

 

As far as I know, this is the only eggshell white for '56. The website links to a couple of Fury photos as examples

You guys really know how to Hert, After selling our 56 Coronet . A dream car of mine that other issues basically forced the sale I still love lookin & Dreamin Keep them comming Larry

 

Ok,thanks. I tried that 8038 number with my local paint guy(he actually had the sheet from 1956 too) and he said the database wouldnt give him any way to mix it in the newer urethane paints. He said normally it automatically converts to the newer mix. He's gonna do a little research for me. I'll pass on any info when I get it.

 

I love those 50s Mopars !!!
