Hello All,
I guess I'll start at the beginning. It was a cold night in September 1955 when my parent got together and did the Horizontal Tango and then...Wait a minute to far back..
My name is George & I'm here to ask a lot of questions and to gain the knowledge to help my 22 year old son build a 29 Plymouth project. Here's what I know about the car,It came from Ft.Myers area of Florida about 17 years ago or so...The fellow I purchased it from said it was running when he got it but it sat for 14 years in his garage untouched, except for him stealing parts from it because he has another 29 Plymouth that he pulls out in the summer to go to car show around our area.
The engine hasn't run since the early 90's. But today it PURRS like an old cat with a pacemaker.It runs & drives slowly but drives. My son can't make up his mind if he wants to build it as a hot rod, rat rod or let it become a lawn ornament.
I have a complete drive train from a 50 Plymouth lined up for it, its a Flathead 6 w/ trannie, drive shaft and rear-end for $300.bucks...He keeps leaning toward building an Ol'skool Hot Rod from the 50's. He plans on leaving the writing on the car be cause it has history As a moving billboard. The company that once had this car can't figure out how one of there cars got away from the herd! Here the link to the company that had this car:
