Description:

1954 Plymouth Other

'54 Plymouth Savoy, styled after the WWII Flying Tigers. Running and driving project with a clear title. Turns heads and puts smiles on faces wherever it goes!
4dr.; Inline six that runs beautifully, with an updated 2 barrel carb and electric fuel pump.
Smooth-shifting three-on-the-tree manual trans.
Newer exhaust and shocks. Rides soft like the boat it is!
Has original drum brakes that function, but are leaky and scary.
6 volt electrical system; about half the lights work.
Gas tank removed, cleaned, reinstalled.
I drove it from New Haven to Hartford in December with no issues, but took back roads as it really doesn't feel safe above 50 or so.
Floors have rust, and are partially patched with old metal signs.
Comes with extra parts in the trunk, including spot lights, old interior and exterior trim, original carb, etc.
Please see my Hartford Craigslist ad for video links.
A great project to enjoy around town and at shows while you work on it. My plan was to put the Plymouth body on a late-model Crown Victoria chassis, as the wheelbase and general layout are nearly identical...
