1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe Sedan

This is a beautiful 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe in very good condition. This model features suicide doors and original exterior sun visor. The interior features pile fabric seats in very good condition and carpeted floors in the back.  The exterior is also in very good condition. It comes with the original owner's manual and dealer's catalog.  With less than 22,000 miles, this car is a real beauty that is for sale to someone who truly enjoys classic cars. 

  

This 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe Sedan is a 38k-mile car that was restored by the current owner in 1989. He then sold it in 1993 but always regretted it, and his wife tracked it down and gave it to him as a surprise gift in 2004. He has since kept it fresh with new tires, brakes, and detailing even though it has only covered 7k miles since he originally bought it 24 years ago. He tells us it is now time to part with this beauty as he is 62 years old and he wants to focus on his two Triumph sports cars.

The car looks lovely in the original Balfour Green color that was re-sprayed in epoxy enamel when the car was restored in 1989. The Fulton sun visor adds a nice period touch and the chrome and stainless is all in very good condition. The seller states that even when he did the restoration there was not a bit of rust to deal with. That is hard to imagine on a Midwest car like this, but somehow the low mileage and solid body must mean it was sheltered during the winter months.

All of the instruments work and the factory steering wheel is in excellent condition. The transmission is a 3-speed manual shifted on the column. The center metal pod houses a radio tuner and bakelite control knobs with etched descriptions. It looks impressive from behind the twin-panel windshield.

The 6-cylinder flathead engine has been detailed and has recently had the carburetor rebuilt. It runs well and the details are right including the remote oil filter cannister, the metal fuel line, and the water neck. The vehicle ID tags on the firewall are also in good condition, and speak to the bygone era of Plymouth much like the elegant hood and nose ornamentation.

 
All body parts of this classic car were removed to give way to new parts that hew closely to the original.  It has all new steel floors and rockers, its bumpers re-chromed and stainless polished.  The brake system is new, so are the springs and all the rest of the items under the hood.
