"1950 Plymouth Special DeLuxe Convertible
""The more you know about the new Plymouth, and the more you drive it, the more convinced you are that not all the beauty is on the surface! Underneath the gleaming exterior are many outstanding mechanical features. You can't see them all, but you can feel them in action, and they make you say. Here's a beauty in more ways than one!"" From the 1950 brochure
For consignment, a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe convertible with a title verified 51,726 actual miles. This one has been owned by our consignor since 1991 and garage kept the entire time in his care. It retains its numbers matching engine.
Exterior
We enter the 50's with the same basic lines of the '49, but this time we're adding more robust chrome to the grille and bumpers, a trend that would continue through the decade with ever increasing weight. Our example is colored Shore Green with wide fenders that would eventually phase out, but they're here in all their glory, accented with stainless spears at different heights, brought together visually thanks to the trim that rims the cabin. A bold ribbed rocker panel is a vestigial feature from the running board days and connects with a polished gravel guard contoured to the rear hip. The tan canvas top provides the perfect contrast while 15-inch wheels wear white wall tires and proper wheel covers and complete the showroom look of this top of the line 1950 Plymouth. Imperfections include some staining to the top, bubbling on paint surface throughout, chips, peeling and staining below the gas cap, spider cracks, and scratches.
Interior
Green vinyl door panels are sandwiched by the painted sill and carpeted kick panels and both present in very nice condition. Up front, the split bench is covered in a beige cloth crowned by green vinyl; the rear seat mirrors the materials and condition, which is great. An ivory steering wheel, even with its patina, is the perfect complement to the green dash that houses three wonderfully authentic period gauges. Embedded in the chrome mid panel is an AM radio below a grated speaker that would make a jukebox jealous, all over vent controls and an ivory lever. The floor is covered with a green carpet and the trunk includes a rubberized covering that is in good condition along with the included spare.
Drivetrain
The original looking bay contains a numbers matching 217.8 L-head six cylinder, putting out 97 horsepower and fueled via a 1-barrel carburetor. It's backed by a 3-speed manual transmission that routes power to 3.90 gears out back. The car still runs on a six volt system.
Undercarriage
Some surface rust and patina underneath but otherwise super clean and solid for its age. Here we have a single exhaust through a stainless steel muffler and drum brakes on all four wheels. Suspension is standard coil springs up front and leaf springs in the back.
Drive-Ability
The car is a quick starter and smooth runner, and we make our way around the test loop as if it were 1950 all over again! This is a fantastic cruiser that hasn't veered much from its original presentation and is true to the era. Functionally, we note the brake lights not working and the high beams flash high and low when activated. Beyond that, all functions on this mid century beauty work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Just a nice, solid runner with great style and a pretty good color combination too! Plymouth produced more than 600,000 vehicles in 1950, but only about 12,000 of them were convertibles. How many are left? No one knows. But we know where you can get one today!
