I've been drooling over that car since it popped up yesterday. Amazing what's hiding out there. These cars are super rare and desirable and it seems to have all the correct parts. Sadly out of my budget. It will likely end up in Europe where most of the finned Mopars go.

A friend did find a few flaws with the interior. I'm out. biggrin

The bend in the steering wheel is likely the result of a minor collision back in the day and the driver got shoved into the wheel.

No drivers door stop:

Dad's first new car was a '57 Plymouth Plaza 2-door sedan, pink with white 2-tone, plus a flathead 230 six & 3-speed manual. He bought it to replace the $25 Model A he bought after WWII.

A dealer judging by the other cars for sale?

Also, would that be a 45 player or a 33 that also plays 45s of course? Makes me think the seller is no expert on this car?

You could get a "Hiway Hi-Fi" from Chrysler from 55-57. It played special 16 2/3 rpm records. They weren't reliable. The one in this car could be one of those an owner added. CBS offered something similar later (1960ish) that played regular 45's

Whew... thanks for pointing those out, Todd. Guess I won't be getting that reverse mortgage after all. Haha
