Subject: 1933 Plymouth coupe Author: Chuck [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:04:02 04/21/05 Thu After high school classes in 1950 I worked in a junk yard in Central Jersey. $18.00 was withdrawn from my salary to pay for the coupe. I think it was 50 cents per hour back then. It ran very good, smoked a lot even at idle. It had free wheeling. Big knob stuck in middle of the dash.Coasted down hills very well. Probablem was the brakes were hydraulic and cylinders leaked. The master cylinder was under the drivers side floor board. My buddy that road with me would at intervals pour condensed milk in it when brakes would not pump up. No muffler, just a straigt pipe. I did that before I even bought the car. It was a nice shiny black. Had no headlights. Nice big chrome grille. Radiator leaked until we filled it up with tobacco from about a half a pack of Lucky Strikes. Had coil springs but one side sagged a bit. I put about 8 bricks on the good side and it looked neat. A word we used a lot in them days. Today it is cool or rad, not sure which. It had a very short windshield. Has a lot of gas ration stickers covering the cracks on passenger side. I traded it for a '33 Chev 2 dr sedan with no trunk. It had headlights so I could drive at night. Carried more girls too. Girls did not drive much. They were good for buying gas and other things. I have never been able to find another 33 Chev 2 dr like that. Best old car I ever owned. Really took a beating.
