I almost bought one of those twice, it was the same car for sale both times, changed owners but came up for sale again. It ran and it drove but the paint was bad, not rusty though, and the interior was a bit tired looking but still usable, the chrome wasn't too bad but it was a bit tired looking too. The 1950 Plymouth was a bit better but came with a little two man travel trailer, the can alone was about $1000. Neither was as nice as the one you had but they are good cars for the money.
Yeah but not to get all techical, but most ppl think of that era as the 1920s and 30s which it was.. and get that confused with the 40s. yeah sure some places may still be dry in the south, but my car is in Northern Illinois. we aint dry.
@hep2jive ... Sundays in North Carolina, you can't buy alcohol before noon... Sundays in South Carolina are dry (may be exceptions for bars, etc, but dunno)... Sundays in Georgia are dry as well (except for big cities like Atlanta, where you can buy at a bar). A couple of counties in Florida are dry on Sunday, but most are not. Carolinas or GA travelers: BYOB if you are passing through on Sunday! XD
@hep2jive Wow, you are so awesome!!! What the fuck crawled up your ass, dickhead? I understand why you are a dickhead, though, living in Illinois, so I forgive you.
Actually, many states opted to keep proabition after the Federal Government lifted the ban.
Thunder Road was set in the early 50s and even in the 70s like Dukes of Hazard, bootlegging was still a common practice. If I have my facts straight, there are still "dry" counties down south today.
It looks amazingly like the car I learned to drive on, a 1949 Chrysler New Yorker. To pretend the transmission was more automatic than it actually was I would select the "high" position, hold the brake with my right foot, and "pop" the clutch. The car would torque a little like an Olds Hydramatic of that day did when placed in gear. Then I would ignore the clutch until I had to use reverse.
That is a very nice looking and runing old Mayflower. My mother drove one just like it.But that was in 1957 looks like hers though. Thanks for sharing your 49 Plymouth.wish it was mine.

how do you keep the rust at bay? and how does it handle show driving compared to a newer car? (not new but like the 1970's)

Nah, the era of bootlegging was about years before this car was even built!
