Forty Rod, you would a liked the car I looked over tonite. We stopped by one of Rita's frieds and they were in the back room. Suddenly there was a black late 40's Plymouth club coupe behind my car. I asked Linda if she knew someone with a hot rod Plymouth? she said it was Jerry here husband. I was sent out to move our car but by the time I got out there he'd parked it in the yard.
We'll I kinda know him any way so OI got him to pop the hood latch and he said go at it. Well there were 2 carbs, and the spark plugs were in the middle of the head on a straght 6.
Yep I did, a Black 48 Plymouth coupe with a 54 Dodge engine with a tiny cam, bored slightly forged crank instead of cast, spit zaust manifold with glass packs. 2 stock Carter 1 barrels on an Offy manifold and a floor shifter. Stock Bedford cord interior and just a nice enemal paint job. A real driver not a trailer queen.
Oh and he had the cheapy 71 Roadrunner slotted steel wheels painted red with baby moon caps. Fer got, 2 inch white walls.
It is so nice to see a real classic driver and not a over modernized trailer queen.
Oh he's involved with a local stream liner, but he said maybe next year or the one after he may have to load it on the trailer. He just wants to know what it will do on the salt, just for pure fun of course.
