Location: Hell's Outhouse - a.k.a. Buckeye, Arizona		Wow!

First off, welcome!

Second, nice sedan! Looks like one hell of an original survivor - right down to the 6V electrical system! Also, it's kind of unusual to see a stock V8 in such a plain-jane car - pleasing, but unusual just the same.

Plus, I've never seen that Dodge hood molding without the trim flairing off the sides - kind of naked looking, relatively speaking, but certainly unique. All in all, one hell of a nice export!

Im in need of some parts for it. For example, carpet, firewall insulation + rubber "grommets", some electrical and interior parts. And fabric. Maybe you can recommend sources? (besides Ebay) Also im planning to convert to power steering in the future.

Nice community here!

I don´t now when but i have planned to investigate the subject. You probably know that Plymouth, Dodge, and DeSotos where assembled in different factorys by different importers. It was a report in the subject in a Swedish carmagasine some months ago. Think it was Classic Motor.

Adding 2 pictures of my 444KS -56.

Hope this is ok.

Tomas

Location: NY & VT		Nice cars! And that Volvo 444 can qualify as an honorary 'Merican car, the B series engines up thru 1975 (B-20) were originally Willys designs! Roger in NY (driving big Mopars since 1965 and Volvo since 1970!!).

Location: Tampere, Finland		Hi Thomas!
You have nice looking cars. In Finland I´ve seen maybe one or two 55 Kingsways. In Västerås seen also some.
I have Volvo, too. That´s Amazon.

Location: Bjorneborg, Finland		Very clean looking cars, indeed! My recent found was a '55 Dodge Kingsway export sales catalog. What coincidence here is about old Volvos? I have also one, a '69 Volvo 121 Amazon. It looks like 3/4 scale '50 Merc or '54 Shivvy and in same time gussied-up with Italian design.
