HISTORY: The 1949-52
Plymouths remain an enigma to Plymouth
fans. While they were and are popular, they are considered by many to be rather
unexciting and certainly less than they could have been. It was the dictum of
Chrysler's president at the time, K.T. Keller, that his company's cars be
practical transportation pieces in which one could sit bolt-upright wearing a
hat. Styling based on such a philosophy ran counter to the sleek, straight
lines seen on the competition. Although many buyers did appreciate the common
sense practicality of these cars and bought them for that, (and a well-deserved
reputation for reliability), there were countless other people who abandoned or
avoided Plymouth
showrooms in favor of those offering more spectacular wares. One can only
speculate on how different automotive history might have been had Chrysler
offered cars as up-to-date in styling in 1949 as they did in 1955 and 1957, yet
with the quality and reliability of the 1949-52 Plymouths. But above all, these
cars do have charm. People will ooh and aah over the
classics and the sporty roadsters and convertibles, I thought it was just an ordinary car back then, but
this is nice! It was the car of the common person. A true people's car. A
car of memories. And that's what really makes these cars great. DESCRIPTION:
