Moderator and Mentor on IndyGear.com's "Club Obi-Wan" forum Mark "Michealson" Cross shares with us pictures of his Vintage Plymouth and his experience driving it daily.

This is a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4 door sedan. We are only the second owners of the car, as it originally came into Tennessee from Detroit in 1950, and stayed in the Knoxville area until 2003.

At that time, my daughter and son-in-law purchased the car from a junk yard in complete, though unrunning condition for $450. It was a sight to see when they pulled into the front yard with it on the trailer. The interior was rotted out, but the engine was solid, as well as the body of the car. The tires were pretty sad, but still holding air.

It only took a week to get the motor in running condition, and 2 weeks to replace and repair the interior with a new headliner and tuck and roll seat covers. It is all original in operating systems, with the original 6 volt system still intact.

 The heater does, sort of. It has a 195 hp flathead 6 cylinder motor, and is standard shift, 3 on the column.

It's a handful on the road, as it weighs 3600 pounds curb weight, so with radial tires on the stiff suspension system with new shocks, it's like steering the Queen Mary down the highway.

The kids gave my wife and me the car on our 27th wedding anniversary, and moved onto another project. My wife and I purchased a 1950 Kentucky license plate (my wife's home state), and I've driven it everyday to work. It hasn't let me down, though it sure HATES to start on cold winter mornings.

Updated: This Car has been given a brand new paint-job, has been modified to 12 Volts with more Electrical Work to come... Return for more updates!
