Full of character and fun accessories, this handsome 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe is an enjoyable cruiser that is simple to drive and maintain without breaking your bank account. This black beauty has a retro-cool "Support Your Local Moonshiners & Bootleggers" painted in red on the front door, a windshield visor, cat-eye headlight covers, door handle guards, window rain visors, high-mounted side "peep" mirrors, fender skirts and red painted wheels wrapped with Firestone 670-15 wide whitewall tires that look great against the black color of the body. Inside, the roomy patinaed interior has room to take the whole family cruising and features a beautiful original dash design, serape blankets on the seats, a stoplight peeper on the dash, and an accessory rear window blind. The technology of the Plymouth engine and chassis was prewar stuff, but it was the best of the prewar stuff. The 97-hp, 218-cu.in. A straight-six engine is simple, rugged, and reliable. It provides acceleration that is far from earth-shattering but adequate in almost all circumstances. It is undoubtedly perfect for ice cream or Sunday drives, the only work many old cars are tasked with today.
The chassis is equally well designed with a coil-sprung independent front suspension, "Sea-Leg" tubular shock absorbers, an open driveshaft (albeit with trunnions rather than modern U-joints), and "Safe-Guard" four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes that are certainly capable enough for the stock engine. Handling won't have you out front at the autocross track, but it's worth noting that Plymouth had some NASCAR success in those days.
