Doesn't matter if it is stock or not, it looks great, not to mention the body isn't sitting in a junk yard becoming a rusted hulk of metal.

Thanks for sharing,
Bob

[old-fart]

T'aint stock neither but here goes....

[RC Drown]

Bill, great shot of your car with the fall leaves.

jd2ksilver, great looking car, thanks to both of you for posting photos of your cars.

Bob

[jd2ksilver]

It's not stock, hope you don't mind too much,,,,

[Bill Davis]

Surely, someone else must have a photo or two of their car to post here.
We don't want this thread to be "lost" three or four pages down.

[Cliff54]

Does it go well for four or five hours:):),  Great looking car

YEP.... but if it drives more than 6 hours while taking it's Automotive Viagra.... I have to take to a Mechanic right away!   ::)

Cliff54, Nice job! I'm not sure that car needs a bottle of Viagra... Unless you are going to run it against a car with a Big V8! My 55 Plymouth had a 6 cylinder and plenty of pep.

;D    hey everybody take a look at my gas tank...................

Bill thanks for sharing, the car looks great and some farmer has one heck of an imagination :)

[Bill Davis]

O.K.  l will pump this up to the top.  One fall photo and two from

Two cars I have qualify for the Plymouth Owners club. One is a '53 Plymouth and the other is a Plymouth based Canadian Dodge D25. I also have a 1938 Chrysler.

[Bill Ward]

Here's a photo of our 50 Plym Special Deluxe Club Coupe pulling our recently completed teardrop trailer.  Sure was fun building the trailer.

I drive my Satellite everyday, 500 miles a week, rain or shine

[gillette]

Thanks, Richard!

[my33ply]

Nice car! Welcome back......

[gillette]

Well, after an off again, on again relationship with the POC, I just rejoined, hopefully for a while, this time. (!) I've been side tracked with Model A F#r** for several years. (Decades??) Finally back to my senses, and back "home" with Plymouths. My last was a PB coupe in the mid seventies. You may have read about it a couple years ago in The Bulletin. Before that I had a PJ when I was still in Chicago. That car was in The Sting, so you get an idea how old I am? :D

Anyway, I just got the PC rumble seat coupe that was on the club Website a while back. The car came out of NY, and before that, MO. It was bought in the early 90's by a guy named Jack Paterson. Jack told me it was "all original" when he got it, original paint, motor, and interior. He had it as a driver for several years, and painted it along with new upholstery along the way. He repaired it as needed, but the motor appears to be the original, and the body doesn't look to have been off the frame. There is a small amount of rust through, but the car presents as a very nice "old car" in "driver shape," and that is what I am intending to use it as. I was out today with a couple of Model A's and we put on about 60 miles. The old coupe loved it, and never missed a lick.

The car hasn't stayed still long enough for me to wash it and get some decent pics. Here are a couple from the first day, and I will attempt to do a more complete write up and send all of that to Mark for the "Members Rides Section." Long live the POC!! GA

[RC Drown]

Now that the driving season is upon us again, I figured it was time to reactivate this topic to see if we could get more photos of member's cars added to the member's ride section by sending the photos to Mark.

Bob

[Wayne]

Jack, I still have the pictures of your truck that you sent to me. It is a beautiful piece of art.
I still have my hotrod 39 but it has been sitting in the garage up on the lift for the past year.
We still drive my wife's 63 Dodge Dart Convert fairly often.
My intrest have sorta changed and I am back on a motorcycle after about 15 years, and loving it. My brother, brother-in-law and two of our life long friends went on a 1800 mile ride a few weeks ago, all the way around the Grand Canyon. Anyway nuff bout me. I do love your PT81.


PS I still have a few parts left on the other trucks, a fellow in AZ. bought a lot of my stuff and restored what is now a beautiful 1940.

Doug,

Good looking Plymouth

[old-fart]

Here's (I HOPE) a pic of our '37 Plymouth (P-4???) touring sedan for posting purposses on the POG, it NEEDS a complete grill and headights too!!
I don't know if the size is too big or whatever, THANKS for reading and (hopefully) posting this for  me, ...Old Fart (Doug)
whole lotta help from within.....) THANKS!

[Bob]

I second Bender's comment.
By the looks of the car in the photos you have a very solid Plymouth.  Drive it and enjoy it at the same time keeping on eye on the brakes and other saftey areas.

These cars are meant to be driven:):)

My thoughts,
Bob

[old-fart]

POC ADMIN
HI! ....I just fired off an email pic to you of our '37 Plymouth, coulda PLEASE[/color] post it for me? I lack the ability to make any of the photo hosting sites work for me, the original computer dummy, LOL!!!

....TIA: Old Fart

[Bender]

First thing I did was get up and crank that big 426 in 15 degree weather, a challenge to say the least.? Finally got it going, had the car inspected, and got my first quote on full resto.? Shocking $$ amount.? Maybe Santa will bring a blank check.

If it is in good condition and original,why restore it? Not everything has to be restored. Just do what you have to do to preserve it,and then drive and enjoy it.

I can't quite figure out how to get my photos the right size to post but I believe I did get a pdf to post.? I just received my dream car yesterday.? 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Convert w/ 426 and 4 speed manual trans.?....

Santa come a little early,did he? It's a wonder you can even sleep tonight.

[Randy]

I can't quite figure out how to get my photos the right size to post but I believe I did get a pdf to post.  I just received my dream car yesterday.  1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Convert w/ 426 and 4 speed manual trans.  I understand from the prev owner that Govier decoded this car to show that it is #3 of 4 total cars with the 426 and 4-speed w/ the convert top.  My Dad had one same color new in 65 but sold it when I was born.  His had the 383 and auto trans.  Can't wait for the temp in VA to warm up a little so I can lower that top.  Made some short drives today but it's a chore to warm that big engine up to get going.  She runs like a top when she's warm though.  Happy motoring everyone.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

[my33ply]

I think I finally found out how to post a picture. These are my two Plymouths..........If you  don't see them, I guess I don't have it figured out.

[Bob Kinker]

Pat,

That was a good one!   Here is a shot of the Sport Fury interior.

[36 Ply]

Bob-

Nice Sport Fury.

That's the same view most drivers see of my '36, but in my case, it's while they're passing me :)

Regards,

Pat O'Connor

[Bob Kinker]

Ok   Here's my 64 Sport Fury, the view most other cars see.

[Bender]

Ok,here are my two Plymouths. The 48 is my semi-daily driver. If I ever get the rebuild of the darn thing finished,it will be my daily driver. Until I finish my 42 Dodge business coupe,that is. I suspect the P-15 will get sold then. Can't drive them all.

[/img]

Here is my 33 Plymouth PD coupe. As you can tell,it needs a little work before it reaches daily driver status. It's getting a 6 carb DeSoto hemi,push button 727,and 8-3/4 rear from a 62 Dart.

[/img]

[Bender]

Here's what I'm? running now. Previous owner used it as a taxi for awhile. Kinda like it that way.Wayne P.

Wayne,that thing would be sooo cool with a checkered belt line.

cant forget that toilet seat ;D

[dukjupiter]

little paint, lots wet sanding, some emblems and wheel covers, little interior work and there i am :D

[36 Ply]

LTDan-

Thanks for posting the additional picture.

That's from the days when cars were cars and all the driveshafts knew it. I tell people that real cars have round headlights.

Some of my other more memorable cruisers were: '68 Olds Delmont 88 with the 455 engine (and bias ply tires and drum brakes all around!)

'75 Plymouth Gran Fury

'79 Ford LTD II (351 2bbl, the worst excuse for a cruiser that the IL state police ever purchased; they would top out at 85-90 mph)

'80 Dodge St Regis (hands down the most comfortable cruiser I ever drove)

'83 Dodge Diplomat 318  (it took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. It's only fault was a rather short wheelbase).

'88 Chevy Caprice (because it was the one I was driving when I retired. It was also a pretty decent ride overall).

Thanks again and stay safe in your law enforcement career.

Pat O'Connor

[LTDan]

thanks Pat, glad you like it.? ?I love seeing the looks on retired cops' faces when they see it at shows.

I was a trooper here in VA for 2 years (96-97) before I went into federal law enforcement and that car was in service from 1972-78 at the same station I worked at so its been a labor of love trying to get that car done-it was barely a parts car when I found it in 1999.? ?It's a #s matching 440 HP car and has the A/C cutoff switch on the dash (all K-code Mopar police cars should have it) extra bracing in the roof for a light rack, coolers for everything, the springs look like theyre from a Ram 3500, and mine is an early '72 car so it has a leftover '71 440 Six Pack block and 906 casting heads (instead of the lower compression 452 heads that came on most '72s)? Its also one of the '71-72 cars that has a Holley 4bbl instead of a Carter Thermoquad.? All the police equipment that I have on it is correct and documented by the VSP.

heres a better picture in the light?

[36 Ply]

LTDan-

How cool is that ?!!

When I was an IL state trooper (1969-93), we got a new cruiser every two years for a while. I had a '71 Plymouth Fury II, then a '73 Dodge Polara.

One of the troopers on my shift got a dark blue (unmarked) '72 Fury II. What I recall about his car is that the silver started to come off the inside rear view mirror (probably a supplier issue), and that it had a toggle switch under the dash, to disconnect the A/C for pursuits.

My '71 Fury II had the 440 engine; it would go like a bat out of hell, but if you made a quick  U-turn, it would stall. Factory reps modified the carb, taking care of that problem.

Thanks for the memories.

Goodmorning to everybody,
it is longtime I don't take part to this discussion.
But, here in Italy, I talk very often about this club (my Club) and I will be proud to send you in short time (I have to finish to restore my car) the story, and pictures of my car Model 29 U Touring.
Nice to know you and glad to be with you in discussion

[Bob]

It has been two months today since Bluebelle was added to the Members ride section, so I guess it is time for another Gentle Reminder to have you get ahold of Mark so he can have more additions to the ride section.

Again, Just a Gentile Reminder,
Bob

[Bill Davis]

Captain,

I like it!!!   I like it!!!  Very nice!

[49plymouthclubcoupe]

Very nice preview Captain Neon ..... very nice.

[Captain Neon]

I sent Mark some photos last night, but I am happy to give you a sneak preview.

[Bob]

Here it is April 10, I haven't checked the member's ride section since yesterday, but I noticed that there has been no new postings of member's Plymouths since Feb,, so come on guys and gals, lets take advantage of Mark's offer.

A gentile reminder,
Bob

[49plymouthclubcoupe]

Thanks Mark....looks very good.   John

[49plymouthclubcoupe]

I sent a story and some photos in to Mark last evening.? ?John

Mark, did my story and photos eventually make it?

[Doug]

I try to take my 30U out onece a week if it's nothing but riding around the neborhood. I have tryed to post pictures on this site but had no sucsess. I enjoy seeing other peoples cars and reading the adventures they have looking for parts, So keep it up

[49plymouthclubcoupe]

Bob....ya got me.    I sent a story and some photos in to Mark last evening.   John

[Bob]

It has been approx six months since Mark first posted the opportunity for POC members to give a short story about their Plymouths and have that and a few photos posted on the club website.  The last one posted was John Pingree's 1940 Business coupe on Dec 14th.

Seems like very few POC members are taking advantage of such a neat offer

Come on guys and gals, lets get more photos and stories posted:):)

Bob

[Bob]

Stovebolt,
Scroll down on the messages and you will see Mark's email address.  Email him the photos you want and he will post them for you
Glad to see another Plymouth is going to be added.
Hopefully now that winter has set in for a good share of us, more members rides will be added.
Hope this helps,
Bob

[stovebolt]

How do you send pictures in ?  Thanks

[Bob]

Being that it is now the end of Oct, I thought it was time tol revive this thread.  Sure would be nice to see more photos added.
The last one was in late July.

Bob

[Cliff54]

Hey I will send in some Photos and a story some time next week.

Cliff54

[Bob]

Here I am again, I know it is summer time and many people don't have time to add their old Plymouths to Mark's posting idea, but I will remind everyone again to take advantage of his offer.

Don't mean to be a nuisance.
Bob

[chetbrz]

Mark your ride is looking great.? I had a Valiant Station Wagon back in the early 70?s.? I think it was a 65 but I?m not sure.? I was doing contracting work back then and a customer gave me the car instead of the cash he owed me.? Anyway you just couldn?t kill this car.? We used it as a work vehicle and I don?t think we ever actually changed the oil just kept adding new.? Well anyway the car would always start and never failed us.? When my wife and I went on our honeymoon in 1973 some kids trashed the car.? I left it parked in an industrial area and if I hadn?t I would probably still be driving it today.?

The reason I parked it in the industrial area was because it was the only place I could leave it, due to alternate side of the street parking regulations.? Most of the paint was sandblasted dull by a trip through a desert storm when the original owner drove it to NY from California.? It kind-a looked like a derelict car so I guess the kids felt it would be fun to smash it.?

Anyway as far as I am concerned the Valiant was a great car.

Chet?

[POC-Admin]

I got two more rides to add - I am running a bit late this weekend - will get them up on Monday or late today.  I am working on my own 1965 Valiant and hope to drive it at least a few times before the snow flies.



The fenders are painted (first coat) now and I will have more photos up later in the week.  You can see all the work done so far at this link.

[DENNISKS]

I feel this is a great idea. Hopefully I will get my car back together this winter. I will then send in the necessary info.

Dennis

[chetbrz]

Mark,

I sent you my submission.  Let me know if you need anything else.  Feel free to edit at will.

Chet...

[furylee]

I think this is a great idea as well.  Like Lindsay, I submitted photos for the recent membership roster, but when they called and said it could be mine for a mere $100, I respectfully declined.  I guess because I didn?t order one, my photos were not used when the book was printed.
I will try to get you something in a few days.  Lee

[Lindsay McConnell]

Great to see that this new area is working and that there are no "strings attached". What I am refering to is the latest copy of the POC roster. I took the time to take, print and send photos in for this publication to find out at a later time that it was going to cost me somewhere around a hundred dollars to ever see them! :-\
To this date, I still do not know if my name, text or photos ever made it.
So, I simply refer back to the old roster, January/February of 2000 when this information, and the roster was included with your dues. I never would have sent photos and information as before to fatten the wallet of that publishing company.... Simply my two cents worth, not meaning to ruffle anyones feathers or to down play the time and efforts that so many people put into this club.

[Bob]

Come on fellow Plymouth Club Owners, sure would like to see and read about your cars:)

Lets show Mark that he has a great idea.

Bob

[POC-Admin]

I have been having some discussion with the officers about the web site.  I was out looking at the WPC site and they have a member's rides section.  I would like to add that to the existing site. I need help.  If you are a member of the Plymouth Owner's club and would like to have a photo (or two) of your pride and joy displayed where the world can enjoy it, send good clean photos and the story line you want (300 - 1000 words) to me - my email is public



PLEASE we want only actual members of the Plymouth Owner's club - you do not have to belong to the club to use this discussion board but on the web-site we have to keep it limited to actual dues paying members - you can join the club and get a great publication every other month at this link.

I have the first member ride posted as of 4:00 PM today the 12th of July - Bob Drown sent a submission.
