Great work! It's amazing to see how the original Crankbrooks were constructed! I remember all the original parts and mods i had to do over the years. My 53 2 door coupe started out as a 6 cyl flathead column shift in 1997. After a ton of time and $$$, has evolved into a drag and drive street rod. I'm in the middle of a major remodel. Check it out when you get a chance. Congrats, you've done an amazing job!!
Very nice old Plymouth,the parts car is a plus, I've been watching another channel where they're fixing up a '54 Plymouth,they just rebuilt the fuel pump on it,it looks similar in color to your parts car.
years ago several auto companies put LH thread on drivers side supposed to hold better if not real tight something to do with the tire rotation is supposed to tighten as it rolls
Leave everything as original as you possibly can. Rebuild the brakes, and perhaps go to a two circuit braking system. Leave the flathead 6 as it is. If it's in good tune it will give you more power than you need with that ride. Those engines were almost as legendary as the slant 6, but perhaps legendary in their own right just the same. Hallmarks of such engine are quiet and smooth operation, and a good torque curve, and great drivability. I had a '53 Dodge truck with the 218 inline 6, and it was quiet enough you could hardly hear it from 10 paces away when it sat idling. I have footage here on YT. If it weren't missing large areas of paint I'd leave it as it is, and after polishing hit it with a clearcoat, perhaps.
I like the idea! I’m definitely going to get it going and driving as close to original as I can. The parts car has a better looking RR door that I’m going to swap over.
My first car as a lad was a cherry 54 Plymouth 2 dr post. Price was $450, ran perfect, this was1965. I have no positive memories of it at all, had absolutely no character or cause for excitement, other than it was better than walking.
I have quite a few of those old Flathead sixes… They love to be pumped… Pump the shit out of them before you even turn them over… They are all the same
Both cars I got were from the same family, they were purchased brand new on the same day by the guys grandfather, who worked at Waters Plymouth in San Francisco. So the cars were in the Bay Area for most of their life. Explains all the rust 😂
I just got basically the same car in a trade for some work on a motorcycle from a customer that I've after for awhile, Mines the same color but the front clip is white, and it has no drive train, the original front end was just too gone so he replaced, I have a 71 Dart that a tree fell on last year that I'm going to strip the 318 Engine, Torque flight auto Trans and rear end out of and put it in the Cranbrook. I'm going to paint it White and paint the roof burnt Orange and I'll probally paint all the chrome Copper.
Is that an electric bell 🔔 on the firewall ? Ive owned a few plymouths and never seen a horn looking like that. 😅. I see it has a Franz oil filter too . They use a toilet roll instead of the regular type filter .
Hi I think you should leave the Motor Inn get it running real good uses a daily driver you know back and forth to the supermarket or the gas station or 7-11. I drove of 51 Plymouth Cranbrook to high school it was a good card lasted me a long time and my father before me.

Thanks! They aren’t very common, nor as popular as the 50’s chevys. I’d love to build a Chevy when the wallet supports it.
Leave it stock don't lower it
YES! I agree; "Stock" is better!
Nice save! Keep it stock and enjoy it. Love to see this back on the road!
Will be watching the process. Good work feller 🤘
Just drive that old girl it deserves that kind of respect
Yep, MOPARs have/had LH thread on the left side of the vehicle. Probably not a good idea, but it amazes me they got that past the bean-counters.
do what ever you want it's yours ,just enjoy it

Very cool '53 🤜🤛
I've owned 3 of them over the past 55 years...

Pretty sweet

Looks like there were a couple more. You should have made a package deal. Nothing like having spare parts on hand.

Cool Car and just so you know or can try , when you have stuck wheels you can pour water on the trailer and those wheels slide a helluva lot easier
Thanks for the tip! I thought about bringing some dish soap😂
@KrisGuzzi1 we always use water and when your done it dries up and no mess
That's "pour" water....
@@rogerlee3941 lmao , auto correct screwed it up
Chryco cars have LH thread on left side. Even my '64 Plymouth had them like that.
Remember…. Non detergent oil.
Talkin bout building a damn stock car racin them dirt ovals

Car looks pretty solid for the age, good job saving it and keeping it alive bro!
That’s the plan!

Lower it and put some nice aftermarket rims on it not the big goofy ones tho like 22s or something.. just a modern looking nostalgia wheel.
Older CHRYSLER PRODUCTS ARE LIKE THAT!
Imagine & subscribe. VIVA LA VITA! That about does it.
Jack stands on soil / grass not good!
It’s mostly gravel, but still not the best idea! Just to get the wheels rolling
