No glaring or malicious intent in my statement was intended. No worries Tom. I was just reminded of that strange interaction a few years ago in the hobby shop. The polarizing nature of this one particular car model just strikes me as odd. I can't really think of another car model that elicits such strong negative opinions from some people. I've heard it referred to in such derogatory terms as an "abomination" to various insulting anatomical references which can't be quoted here. But as I said, no worries. Regards, David G.

Calb56 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Beautiful build of an odd looking car. For a short time, I had a 42 Plymouth (yes they did make them through February before going over to tank production). It was repainted in the 60s brown and had these as driving lights. Evidently, vintage motorcycle lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently, vintage motorcycle lights. Thank you for the compliment Charles. I think they're beautiful cars, kind of the last of the Art Deco style of the 20's and 30's. Your Plymouth must have looked cool with those driving lights, do you have any photos of it? Thanks again for your comment, it's fun to see these old threads pop to the surface again. David G.

Calb56 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I wish I did. My ex got it, found out from my son she and her husband sold it for about 1/2 it's value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
