Plymouth was one of America’s most esteemed automakers, debuting in 1928 under the vision of Walter P. Chrysler. Contrary to popular belief, its name wasn’t inspired by Plymouth Rock but rather Plymouth Binder Twine, a nod to its strong association with farmers—a strategic marketing decision to bolster sales. Although the Plymouth brand ceased production in 2001, its legacy thrives in classic models like this meticulously restored 1947 Plymouth P15 Special Deluxe. This classic car embodies Plymouth's heritage while boasting modern enhancements for superior performance, making it a coveted collectible ready for its next chapter.
The 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe, part of the full-size lineup from 1939 to 1950, stands out in a sleek, era-appropriate black paint finish that resonates with the austere post-war period. This four-door sedan preserves its original chrome trim and molding, showcasing the craftsmanship of the time. Enhancing the exterior are custom hood latches and classic Rally wheels wrapped in Hankook Optima tires—fronts measuring 205/50/15 and rears at 235/70/15—for a robust stance. Inside, the car is a fusion of vintage charm and modern comfort. The cabin has been lined with new carpet and features bespoke leather door panels alongside a custom center console. Notably, the seats, sourced from a 2006 Lincoln MKX, offer six-way power adjustment and are paired with a matching rear bench for a unified aesthetic. The original dashboard with vintage gauges remains, complemented by an Ididit tilt steering column and a chrome shifter integrated into the custom center console. These touches, coupled with auxiliary gauges and cup holders, give the interior a true restomod feel.
Beneath the hood lies the beating heart of this classic—a robust 350ci V8 engine bored .030” over for added displacement and performance. This powerhouse is equipped with reconditioned heads, polished valves and seats, a mild cam, and an HEI distributor for efficient ignition. The engine breathes through an Edelbrock Performer intake paired with an Edelbrock 650 carburetor, featuring a custom adjustable secondary to tailor the performance as desired. This setup channels power through a TH350 Turbo automatic transmission equipped with a Locar shifter and a remote cooler for reliability. Supporting this performance is a fully welded 1978 Camaro front end with new bushings and tie rods, providing a solid, well-balanced foundation. The front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, coupled with a new GM power steering box, ensure confident handling and stopping power. For suspension, adjustable Monroe gas shocks and a 1979 Chevy C10 rear end with 3.42 gears deliver stability and smooth cruising. The engine bay is meticulously detailed with 316 grained stainless lining and features a four-core aluminum radiator, lowered into the grille assembly to optimize cooling. In summary, this 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe is a seamless blend of vintage authenticity and modern enhancements, offering a driving experience that is both nostalgic and exhilarating.

Plymouth is one of those revered brands of yesteryear. Named after a brand of binder twine that was from, surprise, surprise, Plymouth, the brand's logo featured the outline of the Mayflower, the English ship that landed in the USA carrying the first Pilgrims. This particular 1948 Plymouth P15 Coupe hails from the brand's post-war efforts, and is a restomod, of sorts. With a comprehensive restoration and refinements added, it's a great classic car to drive while enjoying some modern features. Purists may look away, but the pragmatic will have their curiosity piqued. Let's discover what this car brings to the table.
Plymouth is one of the oldest American automotive brands, with a rich history that can be traced back to 1928. Founded by Walter Chrysler, Plymouth was intended to be Chrysler Corporation’s low-cost brand in a burgeoning American auto market. However, it quickly transcended boundaries, giving us some greats like the Barracuda, Road Runner and more. Sadly, this great brand bid goodbye to us in June 2001. Having said that, you can still find plenty of Plymouth cars for sale from all eras. This particular 1931 Plymouth PA Coupe Street Rod is interesting because it’s one of their earliest efforts, albeit extensively resto-modded into a fine street rod. Up for grabs in Lubbock, this 7,751-mile machine boasts a 327ci V8, a 4-speed autobox, a custom paint job and an uncanny ability to raise eyebrows, turn heads and garner smiles of appreciation. Yes, it’s a car that no-one can find a reason to hate on, basically. Now isn’t that worthy of acquisition?
Immortalized in print and on screen, the Plymouth Fury was famous for its role as killer possessed car Christine in Steven King’s thriller novel, as well as the movie of the same name. This was in fact a 1958 two-door model, which is far removed from today’s 1966 Plymouth Fury, so don’t worry, this car isn’t likely to ambush you. In fact, it offers you a superb period driving experience, allowing you to experience a full-size four-door Plymouth and see what this iconic American brand could provide. Today’s example has under 18,000 miles on it and hails from Chandler, Arizona. Give us a call if you’re interested.
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!
The Packard Motor Company is one of those great American auto names that you’ve likely never heard of. That’s because they came to be in 1899, but went out in 1956, when they merged with Studebaker. It’s likely your parents themselves may not have heard of the brand either, but your grandparents likely will. They will reminisce about how Packards were luxury cars at the time, owned and driven by the wealthy, and always statement-makers whenever they were seen driving along, or parked in the foyers of swish hotels. Today, you can find out how it feels to have a Packard by acquiring this Stanton-based 1949 Packard 8 Restomod. The car comes with a newer V8 under the hood and has gained an automatic transmission too. This makes it ideal for the generation who never learned to drive stick. We’re told that the frame is from a Cadillac de Ville, and that documentation is included with the sale of the car. One key is also provided.
Packard is an American auto brand that you’ve likely never heard of, or if so, in passing. Your parents might know if it though, your grandparents definitely will. That’s because the Packard Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan made cars between 1899 and 1956. They are widely known as the purveyors of the modern steering wheel, air conditioning in cars, and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines! Sad, then, that such an iconic brand died a quiet death in the Fifties, merging with Studebaker by 1953 and quietly disappearing thereafter. One of their last models was the 200, and we have an example for sale today. This 1951 Packard 200 comes from Marietta, Georgia, and has done just 19,000 miles as per what we’ve been told. It’s a fine classic car for those who seek an unusual choice rather than going with the usual suspects from the major brands.
Let us take you back to the ‘50s, an era when some of the most dramatic design features were bestowed upon automotive culture. Our subject car belongs to Dodge, an American automotive brand that is renowned to date. The Royal was introduced in 1954 as Dodge's top trim level. It was a significant model for the company as it partook Chrysler's $100 million "Forward Look" program and saved the company by doubling sales over the previous year. 1959 was the last year for the Dodge Royal, and the advertising theme for that year's product line was "Newest of Everything Great," underlining the brand's focus on innovation and modern style. Our subject Dodge Royal is from its last iteration as well, boasting a reupholstered interior and several upgrades. Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, it awaits its new owner.
