1950 Plymouth Suburban

This 1950 Plymouth Deluxe Suburban is finished in green over a white and brown interior and is powered by a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission. The vehicle spent time in Idaho and Oregon before it was sold on BaT in July 2021. Additional modifications include a 9″ rear axle, power rack-and-pinion steering, power front disc brakes, 15″ wheels, air conditioning, tilt steering, a Kenwood stereo, a folding rear seat, sliding side windows, and a receiver hitch. Acquired by the owner in January 2022, this modified Plymouth is now offered with brochures, books, a folder of receipts, registration and inspection cards, refurbishment photos, a handmade wooden coat rack, a scale model, and an Ohio title in the owner’s name. The car was refinished in its current shade of green in the late 1990s, at which point the brightwork was refreshed and the glass was replaced. An electric-locking Mopar fuel cap has been added along with a rear receiver hitch and reverse lights, and other features include sliding side windows as well as halogen headlights. Areas of touched-up paint are noted, and the seller states that work since 2021 included re-chroming the front bumper. Body-color 15×6″ wheels have been powder-coated and wear hubcaps and beauty rings. The seller states that the tires were replaced under current ownership. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering has been added, and the power braking system utilizes discs up front. The interior was redone in the 1990s and features a split-folding front bench seat and a folding rear bench upholstered in white tweed cloth. Brown carpeting covers the floors, including a removable liner at the rear. The aftermarket air-conditioning system and heater utilize the factory climate controls, and an electric windshield wiper, an under-dash hood release, and a trailer-brake controller also have been added. A Kenwood stereo is mounted in the center of the dashboard. A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer, two combination gauges, and an Autogage tachometer to the right of the steering column. The dash lights do not work. The five-digit odometer shows 47k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown. The 350ci V8 is said to have been sourced from a 1972 Chevrolet and is equipped with four-bolt main bearings, an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold, tubular headers, dual pipes with an H-shaped connecting section, and Flowmaster mufflers. An aftermarket alternator and radiator also have been installed. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission with a shift kit and an aftermarket torque converter. The Ford 9″ rear axle utilizes a 3.25:1 final-drive ratio.
