This Plymouth was purchased from its original Wichita owner, an elderly lady in 1964 to be used as a "cheap" daily driver by another Wichita family. That family has owned this car since that time (1964) and apparently didn't put all that many miles on it since the odometer is believed to represent actual mileage. At sometime in its history it was decided to have the car repainted since it had surface rust on the body and looked bad. I asked one of the family members who piddled with the car as a kid and helped maintain it through 2016, what kind of body work and rust repair they had to do to the car when it was refinished? He replied, "nothing, the body was perfectâ€. He also indicated they cleaned up and refinished the underside of the car but did not remove the body from the frame which became common in later years when body off frame restorations became popular.
I have looked the car over carefully and can see no evidence of any rust repair or body work on the top or underneath the car. The body is very straight and smooth and body panels fit together very nicely. It was refinished years ago and still looks fantastic today as you can see in the photos. Its not perfect though, it does has a few minor light scratches paint finish and some chips here and there. I have close up photos of these areas so you can put this in perspective. Overall, this is a beautiful car that is just showing some minor wear from it being driven and enjoyed.
Mechanically, I believe the car is basically very sound. The motor has no knocks, doesn't smoke, no rattles and carries good oil pressure. The 3 speed manual transmission shifts as it should. The car drives out good. The steering feels a little loose but is probably typical for a 1935 Vintage Vehicle. They didn't manufacture the quality steering of todays vehicles. The car has hydraulic brakes (cars were just transitioning from manual brakes in this era) and these hydraulic brakes seem to work find.
The car was not running smoothly when I picked it up so I installed a fresh set of spark plugs and some fresh high octane gasoline that is ethanol free as well as some lead substitute additive. That solved its problems. It now starts easily, runs smoothly, does not smoke and has good power. The owners had been using the lead substitute additive and running the car regularly so that is all good.
Check out my drivingVIDEO to see how nicely this 82 year old car drives out today.
Unfortunately, a death in the family has resulted in this car being available for purchase - the first time since 1964. This is a rare opportunity to buy a beautiful, attention getting rare and solid "never been messed with" original GEM. They can only be original once and this one has survived 82 years without being cut up, hod rodded or customized. It's a beauty, an attention getter and a blast to drive and surely can bring back some nostalgic, pleasant memories of good times for its next owner.
