Can you help me discover what moldel is? I think is a Cambride or Cranbrook, but i?m not sure.

It is not a 50 because of the sloping hood nose and the bumpers are smooth.? The '50 bumpers have a single rib at the bottom edge.

Here's a couple of pictures from the www.oldplymouths.com website.

'51 had the license plate ornament separate from the "plymouth" script letters, like this:


'52 had the scrip and the ornament as one piece, like this:


I'm not sure of the difference between a Cambridge and a Cranbrook, someone else will have to fill in here...

Jorge,

On a 1951 Plymouth (and I think the 1952 is the same), the easiest way to
determine the model is by looking at the windshield surround.? If you see
rubber around the windshield on the top and outsides and if the windshield
division bar is painted the color of the car, the car is a Cambridge.? If you
see stainless steel trim all the way around the windshield, the car is a
Cranbrook.

Thanks, i?m gona try to look better, the car don?t have windshild, just a plastic for rain. The car it?s in really bad shape. My suprise was to find a car from the fiftes and of a brand that it?s not usual to find in Portugal.

Go Fleiter

If I see well, the trunk handle is solid one piece with the Plymouth letters. It should be a 52 model, because 51 had handle and name separate, Plymouth word beeing separate pieces for each letter.

I got these two photos from Jorge in Portugal.

I find this Plymouth on a house thats is for sale near my home town, Odivelas. It seems to be stoped a long time ago. Can you help me discover what moldel is? I think is a Cambride or Cranbrook, but i?m not sure.
Many thanks
