Title: 1952 Belvedere
Post by: 52plym on October 12, 2006, 04:21:18 PM
Check out this page - I finally made it big time after 69 years !!!!!? I will be selling this car in the spring.? It has had a complete frame off restoration.? George Asche built the engine.? It is the flat-head 6 rebored to 035 over.? Mild cam, dual carbs and split manifold, completely rebuilt overdrive, front disk brakes, RI wiring harness, NOS gas tank, fogs, etc etc etc.? Car is pristine stock except for engine.? If anyone knows someone interested, steer them to me.? The green/black combination is the real rare one, and this is exceptional.? I will be asking around $20M.

I plan on keeping the blue/gray car as it was my first car.

John,
Congrats on being published, nice looking car.
I went to college in Burlington for one year in 1967, grew up northwest of Plattsburgh.

Man, I really like the way the chrome drip rail provides the two tone paint divider on the 1952 Belvedere - much more interesting than the 1951 year model.  Regarding the statement about everything being stock except the engine, the front disk brakes aren't stock, are they?  I'm thinking that the 1950 T & C Chryslers had them, but I never heard of them on early Plymouths before.

Fantastic looking car - the green/black combo is even better.  Kudos

John - great looking cars.  How about some photos of the two of them together and send them in for publication in the Plymouth Bulletin?     Jim Benjaminson

Jim;

Unfortunately, the blue bell is now undergoing a frame-off....hopefully done by spring.
