Location: Saskatoon, SK, Canada		Some may remember this car from last year well I still have it and brought it home to my new two stall garage. After a bit of work i buffed the body and found the original color was still bright and fresh I also found a set of hubcaps I thought were not there, I also found the original spare rim and tire from 57, AND a set of rubber floor mats for the 57 Plymouth a lot of people told me Plymouth never had rubber floor mats but clearly they did as this car was a one owner. driven up until 1966 when the tranny had some issues.

Location: Saskatoon, SK, Canada		I took the battery outta my 62 pontiac and popped it in the Plymouth and the car still holds power, the headlights came on, the dome light burnt out for sure and the horn relays are burnt out but u can hear a faint beep. I still want to pull the covers and soak the cylinders with oil and go from there i believe the engine is a 313??? it is a Canadian sold Plymouth

Location: Jamaica Plain, MA		Sweet survivor! I'd get all the mechs in order and drive it like that. It looks like something you'd see in 1974.

Location: Saskatoon, SK, Canada		Well heres some updated photos and info I did and was able to get the flywheel to turn over by hand same with the generator fan. Pulled off the plugs and will be soaking the cylinders. The Valve covers came off and they seem clean but maybe a few of you can put some input in this car..especially since it hasn't drove since 1966. and I will be getting a carb kit and rebuilding that
