Contrary to popular belief, the Plymouth brand was not named after Plymouth rock. Rather, the name was coined by then-Chrysler executive Joe Frazer after Plymouth binder twine, which was seen to be sturdy, reliable, and low-priced. Plymouth was created to be Chrysler's budget car brand. Fast forward to the current era, and vintage Plymouths in pristine order fetch far more than they ever did brand-new. Of course, they also make great restomod platforms, such as this 1937 Plymouth Deluxe that bears just 6,500 miles after a comprehensive restoration. It's not an all-out restomod, but it retains the classic Thirties design, with some tasteful upgrades here and there.
Clothed in a matte black paint job, this 1937 Plymouth Deluxe showcases the typical Thirties profile that's been popularized by the gangster films of yesteryear. Looking closer, you'd notice the rear-hinged coach doors for back seat access and the podded headlamps. The car rolls on a set of black 15-inch rims shod with modern Cooper tires, reportedly new as per the current owner. The interior is similarly tasteful, retaining much of the period cues of this 1937 Plymouth Deluxe, melded with modern conveniences where required. The current owner reports that the seats have been upholstered and covered with Indian blanket covers. The vintage dash remains, with new retro-styled gauges installed ahead of the driver. Ahead of the passenger and beneath the glovebox lies a modern Kenwood head unit with radio, CD, AUX, and USB connectivity options. Gaze upwards, and you can see that the roof has been lined with Cool It Thermo Tec to help keep the interior cool when the sun is out.
This 1937 Plymouth Deluxe appears to have a V8 engine displacing 257ci, as we are told. Drive goes to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The current owner reports that the car has been upgraded with power steering and power brakes to make it easier to drive. Riding on leaf springs and shock absorbers, it's best to enjoy the cruise and turn heads wherever you go.

Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.
Beep Beep! Move over, it’s the Road Runner! Named after the lovable Warner Brothers character from the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Plymouth reportedly paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the right to use the Road Runner name and likeness. They spent a further $10,000 on development of a signature “Beep Beep” horn as well! Needless to say, the Road Runner was a massive success and remains one of America’s most loved muscle cars to this day. Now, we have a chance for one lucky enthusiast to get their hands on a massively upgraded 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Restomod from Milford, Pennsylvania. With its 440ci V8, Tremec TK500 5-speed manual transmission and Holley Six Pack Tri-Power system, this is one speedy car!
One of those historically significant automotive names, Plymouth was not only named after the famous rock, but also a brand of binder’s twine. Sadly this marque is no more, but they gave us some epic models such as the Roadrunner, Fury, Barracuda and more. Today, we have something a bit older, something from their 1940s collection. This 1950 Plymouth P20 Special Deluxe Convertible Restomod is part of the Plymouth De Luxe line that ran between 1933 and 1942, and again from 1946 to 1950. These full-sized cars came in various body styles, and this particular 40,928-mile machine is a lovely drop-top. It’s got a beige electrically operated convertible top, a newer 350ci V8, an automatic gearbox and more things to make every drive even sweeter.
The prancing horse, or better yet known as Ferrari, has long been the purveyor of a car ownership experience that's unlike any out there. From its bedroom wall poster to clocking in rapid lap times worldwide, the Italian manufacturer is a true legend in the automotive world. While taking ownership of a Ferrari is a milestone in anyone's life, it does come with a tax - the actual cost of owning one and allowing it to clock in the miles and provide you with a good time on every drive out. Breaking through the matrix that is Ferrari ownership is otherworldly, but worry not: there is always a solution. Present today is this 1986 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole. With a reported 24,000 miles on its clock, this is the answer to all your prancing horse problems and has always been labeled as a "usable" Ferrari.
Pontiac has always been a somewhat performance-oriented brand, even in dark times like the Malaise Era. Their Firebird muscle/pony car was severely strangled due to this dark time, but Pontiac cheerfully changed direction. Of course they kept the Firebird, but introduced something else too. This was the Fiero, made between 1984 and 1988. Unlike most other Pontiacs, the Fiero was a compact two-door sports car with a mid-mounted engine, composite body panels and an economical outlook. In subsequent times, Fieros found an unlikely purpose as the base of many faux Ferrari transformations. Thankfully, stock examples do remain, like this West Palm Beach-located 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. It’s up for sale with under 69,000 miles on the clock, a 2.8-liter V6 in the rear, and an automatic gearbox. Contact us if you’d like to make it your own.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
