      Hello and thanks for your interest. This car is not easy to document and anything from 1950″s from the big three auto makers. However our appraiser believed this car is period correct with all of it’s equipment, and it is a solid original car. We wish we could offer more information, but there is nothing on a 50’s Plymouth that can verify matching numbers that we can look at.
      Runs excellent and drives amazing with it’s new tires!
