Do you have pics of yours?

Galen saw mine in June. It was the first one he had seen in the flesh. He told me he knew of 2 others. He spent about a half hour looking at it. Very knowledgeable gentleman.

I have lots of current ones on my phone but not sure how to upload them. The first two are in Miami where we found it. The one inside is from Mopars In The Park this year.

That's cool that it's still the original color, wish mine was, just my floors,jams and in trunk. Love the sign!

 

[doctordodge]

It's very original. Never had a valve cover off the motor. Runs great. Had the sign made locally.

 

[Anthony Chewy]

Thats Awesome! you plan on restoring it? I'm going to paint mine back to original color.

 

[doctordodge]

Partial resto. Leaving the body as is. Just doing floor pans and interior. It's the only unrestored one known. And yes, that is Daisy in the pic above.

Sorry to hijack your thread by the way. Let's see some pics of yours.

That body is so nice compared to mine. Drag its a repaint. Congratulations though. Nice find.

 

[Anthony Chewy]

Thanks now the fun begins!

Is there actually a formula for Petty blue?

 

[doctordodge]

Not that I am aware of. Corporate Blue is very close. I'm going to get a spot on mine that is unfaded camera matched at a body shop to see if they can replicate it.

Hey Anthony, does your car have its original horn button? And does it look like this? Has anyone else seen a button like this? I have never seen one other than just with the Plymouth emblem.

 

[Anthony Chewy]

I haven't found it yet, I have boxes of stuff to look through.

 

[doctordodge]

It would be very interesting to find what it means and if your car has one.

 

[Anthony Chewy]

Thought I'd post some pics of the car now that's she's painted back to the original color. Turned out Beautiful!
