Reasonable price for the condition. Two things wrong.:( Armrests/doorpulls are on backwards. Left is on the right/right is on the left. 5 minute fix. No problem. (And the armrest on the left needs a quick clean) Edited by 56D500boy 2018-02-12 11:49 AM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 618 Location: Lubbock, TX | Looks pretty original! Engine's been pulled and resprayed at the least, if not rebuilt. Still has the 1955-Only Power Brake Booster, tough unit to find parts for or get rebuilt properly. ~Peter | ||

Still has the 1955-Only Power Brake Booster, tough unit to find parts for or get rebuilt properly. But the 55 booster activation linkage from the brake pedal sits so nice and high (compared to 56 and later) that is easier to replace with a modern booster, like this one on a 55 Desoto in a Mopar wrecking yard in Ontario: REF: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=67015&... | ||

Expert Posts: 4034 Location: Connecticut | That is one nice car ! The Jamaican Bronze color is rarely seen. Odd that there is only one decorative button on the rear seat door panels. Should be two. Regarding the one-year-only master cylinder, there are kits available to rebuild both the master cyl and the booster: Ron | ||
