[Zmagnette] Slightly OT-Carpet adhesive

[David F. Darby]

Allen,

 

You guessed correctly. It's the old 230 flathead six with the modern
two-speed Powerflite auto originally powered by whale oil. The gear selector
is a little cranked rod the size of a turn selector lever sticking out of
the instrument panel. The engine was about as bullet-proof as they come.

Hey, it's gorgeous - and it has... (count 'em)  FOUR doors!  And to boot,
I'm gonna guess it's a flat-head six.  The famous slant-six was still a few
years off - think it came out in the '60 Valiant. But the old flathead
served, at least as an option, all Chrysler products from about 1932 until
1960 and labored on in a number of other applications for nearly another 20
years.  My first car was a '37 Plymouth.  At a purchase price of $70 it
didn't quite look like this one, but I loved it until I seriously redlined
it in first coming home from school one day. It still ran...
