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...

Hello Allen,

>David, is your Plymouth like this one?  These were really timeless designs.
I'd love to have one,

 

Close, but that's a Belvedere hardtop; mine is a Savoy four-door post. Here
it is under the locust. I suppose Virgil Exner and Gerald Palmer had a lot
in common.

Not really OT, as it is generic, but I am fixing to install a new carpet kit
in my dear old 1955 Plymouth Savoy (another staid old sedan/saloon).

 

I'm wondering if any of you have a favoured carpet adhesive or protocol you
might suggest. I've just had very limited experience and I don't want to
botch it up.

 

I have a nice (although lightweight) loop carpet kit in two pieces (fore and
aft) with bound edges and an attached pressed felt-like backing. I'm
thinking I don't want to weld it down and I'll probably have to do a lot of
fussing to get it all into place. Any suggestions as to brand or type of
adhesive you've had good results with? Or does it need anything at all?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Cheers,

 

David
