Projects got a new ride today................mopar

That is cooool! Yeah, I don't like the bottle on the roof either- I vote for hood ornament!

 

Cool...and I really like the custom version.

 

i kinda like these old cars, dad had a few of them when i was mid teens, drove them all when my car broke down, sure got a lot of puddy in them (nice big back seats)

 

Good find congrats keep me update on the progress i love the dash

 

i like it as is for a nice driver

 

it will be a driver as is for a while( just need to redo all the brakes and tune the engine a lil) then it will get kustom treatments as funds allow

 

I LIKE it!!

 

anyone know the production numbers on belvederes? just curious on how many they made (i googled it but couldnt really find it)

 

Really sweet! Love the hardtop!!

 

B. Watson on p15d24 can tell you, are you really going to paint the dash?

 

Might sweet ride. I am diggin' the dash. Enjoy the ride!

 

For 51? Your Plymouth options are Cranbrook, Cambridge or Concord...........no Belvedere.

 

Nice!!!

 

The Belvedere was part of the cranbrook line.

 

Do you reckon that car is CLUB COUPE or CONVERTIBLE CLUB COUPE? Not to be confused with CONVERTIBLE.

 

Between 1951-1952 51,266 Belvederes were made. This was the same time of the Koren War so paper work on production figures were messed up. In 1953 Plymouth made 35,185 Belvederes.

The 1951 Belvedere was low production. Figure a little over a 1/3 of the Belvederes made in 1951-1952 were made for the 1951 year.

 

yes there was belvedere i was under cranbrook when i went to aaa today and put it on my insurance the guy busted out this telephone sized book that list car models to make sure we put it on my insurance as the right model and the list for 51 plymoth under cranbrook looked like this

CRANBROOK

bussiness coupe
4dr sedan
belvedere
convertible

 

Weird, I have a link to a site I use for car specs from like 28-75? And it's not listed..............

 

yes will most likely paint the dash and the rest of the interior molding its all "wood finish" dont worry its not original it was obvisley redone at some point and besides i thought i read somewhere they stopped doing the wood finish after 50 and 51's were supposed to be painted a solid color, im just not really a fan of the "wood finish"

 

Man, that is one clean Mopar. Good for you Gebhard.

 

and i think it had the regular coupe with post's for 51 under CAMBRIDGE

 

Nice catch... enjoy!

 

dont know what to tell ya, i dont know a whole lot about the early mopars, but my first car was a 74 valiant

 

thanks for the info!

 

My first car was a 67 Mustang. It breaks it down between the number series..........I'll post the linky and you can wonder/wander thru it. It gives the specs on EVERYTHING. I like playing with it.

not sure if 51' had the "duel" wheel cylinders but if so you might be able to adjust the brakes with the "cams" as that was a common problem making people believe they needed new brakes when they needed simple adjustment. nice ride!

 

thanks for the tip ill check that out, i might go through everything anyways just for peace of mind. the idea of a 50 year old single chamber m/c that who knows if its ever been rebuilt or changed scares the **** out of me. i really dont ever want to have that OH **** day drivin down the street

 

Nice score neighbor, I'm kinda partial to the older Plymouth's. Personally, I'd loose the wood grain dash also-they belong in a new Jag. Good luck with it.

 

Cool find!
Keep it simple and enjoy the snot out of it!

 

great find, I would cruise the tires off that thing. I love early plymouths and dodges'. There's a dodge on here cheap I wish I could get my hands on...unfortunately, the timing just ****s.
