Very nice car 👍 sounds like a farm tractor though Lol 😂 I bet if this car was up north in all that salt there would be nothing left of it by now the owners kept it in beautiful shape 👍
Time was you could buy an old jalopy to drive around in. Now, jalopies are "Antiques" and the prices have gone through the roof. I kid can't find a cheap transportation car any more. Too bad. I miss the old days.
Those battery cables are too thin. 6 volt starters draw twice the amps as 12 volt starters, so you need thicker battery cables. 1 gauge cables are what is needed, not 4 gauge or 6 gauge. Thin battery cables cause slow cranking and hard starting.
Well, you probably have sold it by now. But if that's the original paint, I hope the new owner keeps it (that is, don't repaint except to touch it up after removing the rust)! Always keep it original if you can. They're only original once. Btw, "Almost" 50 years into 30k miles makes that only a little more than 600 miles per year. You sure that ain't 130k?
+Marshall Curtis A fellow had a '53 Plymouth Suburban wagon for sale for $3,900 at a consignment lot on I-35 just north of Elm Mott several years ago. It had the rare overdrive and was a 60K mile car. Its original color was the light green like the lower part of this car. However, it had been painted a garish white which looked awful. I talked to the owner and mentioned the paint and how it would have been much better to have left it original. He got defensive and said well it was his car and his wife didn't like the color so he could do as he pleased. I reminded him that if he wanted to keep it for the rest of his life, he could paint it pink with yellow polka dots if he wanted to, but if he wanted to sell it at some point he had just dropped its value over 50%, regardless of what his wife thought.
The horn buttons always failed on this car.. My first car was a '54 Savoy. I'm sorry but I can't believe it has 34 thousand miles as original.. That steering wheel is worn way to much. I know every inch of that model.. It sounds like it has a rod problem.. That Flathead 6 probably needs a gasket too.... Awesome car though..
The Farm Dogs The speedometers on those older car's are real easy to turn back if you remove it from under the dashboard and take it out of the casing.
Haha! On my '53 Suburban, the horn wire would come loose, touching the inside of the steering column, which would make the horn blow until I pulled the horn button off and fished the wire out to reconnect it! Pretty embarrassing in traffic!
I just bought this exact car in the Netherlands haha. Great to see it where it came from
Runs like a sewing machine! I love it. Thanks Gino. Hope you’re all well in 2020.✌️🇺🇸
Your the proud owner? Congrats if you are.

Named after the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills Michigan. Many auto executives sent their kids there. Nice place
A really beautiful hardtop roof design!!!!

Nice looking car.
otimo veiculo nao da mecanica confortavel espaçoso bonito charmoso bem melhor que os atuais
That car doesn’t need restoring 😵💫leave it alone .
Fun fact; this exact car is now for sale in the Netherlands. It has all the same details, but just a little more rust, due to the climate.
Ik heb ‘m toevallig gekocht
34,000 miles with a steering wheel like that? It has a lot more than that, probably 134,000 miles and a replacement interior.
yeah what's the price on it what it's going for

I had a 51 Plymouth Concord. The rings go bad & it will burn oil like mad. Sweetest shift action.
