The Motorcar Offered

This wonderfully presented 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe Coupe has had the lovely distinction of being a single family, southern owned car for the better part of its whole life. Within the family, the car was originally owned by the father, until it was given to his brother. Tales from this family tell of long car trips to Florida and road side picknicks being enjoyed out of the back of this Plymouth in the pre-interstate days. Eventually the car was passed down to the next generation. In more recent times, the Plymouth came in to the hands of the consigner. It is reported that the vehicle received a full restoration roughly a decade ago. Today the car presents in wonderful condition both inside and out thanks to the quality of the work done and its extended stay in climate-controlled storage. This Plymouth will surely be a dependable motorcar for its lucky next owner. It starts up on demand, and even the tube radio fires up after a brief warm up period.

Endlessly charming, cars of this vintage tend to attract smiles from passersby almost immediately. Do not hesitate to get behind the wheel of this wonderful slice of Americana.
