OVERVIEW
This one-family-owned 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook is an older restoration powered by a 218ci flathead inline-six engine backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Features include a new master cylinder, a six-volt electrical system, and manual steering and brakes. Finished in dark green over a two-tone green cloth interior, this Plymouth is available now and comes with a clear Colorado title in the seller's name.
EXTERIOR - FEATURES
According to the seller, this car was restored approximately 25 years ago. The exterior is finished in dark green and features chrome bumpers with bumper guards, a chrome grille, a hood ornament, a driver-side mirror, accent trim, and chrome door handles.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of steel wheels with Plymouth hub caps is wrapped in radial tires.
INTERIOR - FEATURES
The front bench seat, rear seat, trim, and door panels are upholstered in dark green and light green cloth. Features include manual steering and brakes, manual windows, a column-mounted manual shifter, a three-spoke steering wheel with a 360-degree horn ring, a radio block-off plate, and a heater. The seller notes that the transmission has difficulty getting into reverse and first.
INTERIOR - GAUGES
A 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, amps, oil pressure, and temperature are located ahead of the driver. The non-functional odometer reads 32,701 miles but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Power comes from a 218ci flathead inline-six engine and is backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Underhood features include an oil-bath air filter and a six-volt electrical system.
UNDERCARRIAGE
This Plymouth was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Manual drums bring the car to a stop. According to the seller, the master cylinder was recently replaced and the brake system was flushed. A single exhaust system exits at the rear.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
This vehicle was previously sold on AutoHunter, but it is being relisted after the buyer backed out of the transaction through no fault of the seller.

I want to thank all of you who bid on our family's car. This car has quite a history with our family. Great grandmother bought this car and drove it periodically to the grocery store in Jackson Hole, so she didn't put too many miles on it. After that the car has been passed down a couple generations who basically have been care-takers of the car. I hope whoever wins this car enjoys the car as much as our family has. If any of you have any questions about this wonderful car please let me know and I will answer them as quickly as possible as the car only has a couple of hours left on the auction clock.
@GlenP – The vehicle does not have major rust. The body and motor are excellent, The car has been stored out of the elements and it was built before the age of "planned obsolescence", so it is in very good shape for a car that has not had a frame-off esto. There is some rust in the undercarriage, mainly light surface rust. ...
nk You very much!
It is difficult to get under the car to photograph the undercarriage completely, but I uploaded some pictures I just took and hopefully that will give you an idea of the rust level. The car is auctioned as-s so if I missed something, it was not intentional. I would also add that for a one-family car that has been stored and taken care of, this is an exceptional, rare find, Thanks for bidding on my family's car and I hope the winner enjoys the vehicle as much as our family has. The motor has excellent power and starts easily easily and purrs at idle)
