Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1960 Plymouth Deluxe
Suburban 2 Door Station Wagon. The Deluxe Suburban was Plymouth's
two-door station wagon and only a handful were made in 1960. It is
more rare than a Chevy Nomad wagon! This example was made just down
the street from our shop at Chrysler's former Fenton, Missouri
assembly plant and was once sold by Sewell Motors in Brunswick,
Missouri, northwest of Columbia. It left the assembly line in
Desert Beige and Caramel Metallic. A previous dealer found it in
mid-Missouri in 2014 and brought it to Georgia. Prior to its
"rest," it had been owned by the same person since 1970!Car was
built here in Missouri, sold new in Missouri and stayed here in
Missouri with only two owners until 2014! Finished in an
interesting amalgam of white and Desert Beige, this wagon is loaded
with patina. What makes it interesting is that it has been
repainted on the roof and coves ahead of the front wheels, so they
appear better-than-average while the rest of the body shows
moderate to heavy patina. You could elect to keep it the way it is
and make a vehicle fashion statement. The trim is in decent overall
shape, with some blemishes visible at close range. There are
various blemishes scattered around the body The wagon's original
windows are clear and intact but the windshield evidences some
delamination on the passenger side. The lights are haze-free and
crack-free, though the left front marker light lens is broken.
Overall, the bodywork appears straight and solid. The engine bay is
quite tidy and the battery appears new. The bumpers fit well to the
body and are in decent condition. This car rides on Hankook Optimo
radials with Atlas Portawall tire trims affixed. Each tire
surrounds a steel with affixed with 1956 Dodge wheel covers. Under
the hood, as stated by the prior owner, is a completely rebuilt 318
CID V-8 "A" engine that is reportedly the original unit. Backing
that motor up is a three-on-the-tree manual transmission and a 3.54
rear end. Wagon has a new exhaust system and newly rebuilt drum
braking system with lines and wheel cylinders, however, heater core
has been bypassed. Inside, the wagon has a new old stock (NOS)
interior done in copper and cream, which nicely mirrors the
exterior two-tones. The previous owner stated that it is literally
the last known NOS correct seat material for this particular car!
The front and rear bench seats are in great overall condition, as
is the contrasting black carpet. Above the driver's head, the white
headliner is in satisfactory order though the dome light lens is
missing. The unusual ovoid steering wheel, one of head designer
Virgil Exner's hallmarks, is in original condition. The inner door
panels echo the theme created by the NOS seats and look great. The
instrument panel, with its dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, has
been repainted and is in satisfactory order The fuel and
temperature gauges are inoperable, and there is no radio. Standard
equipment on the Deluxe Suburban included: oil filter, turn
signals, dual sun visors and tubeless blackwall tires. Unitary
construction was hailed as a leap forward for the 1960 Plymouth
range. Styling changes included a flat hood from fender to fender,
and more pronounced tail fins tacked on the rear. A new grille
comprised of close-spaced horizontal blades accented with thin
vertical bars appeared. The P-L-Y-M-O-U-T-H lettering was back
again, along the front of the hood and the front fenders evoked a
wing-like look, with feature lines wrapping around the front
corners to the rear of the front wheel openings. This created
"coves" between the front wheel openings and the car's nose and
thin moldings accented this particular treatment. Side trims were
juggled and "shark fin" rear fenders appeared, including on station
wagons. Competition to this Plymouth in 1960 included Chevrolet's
Nomad and Ford's Ranch Wagon. Two-door wagons were popular with
handymen and tradesmen as well as with budget-minded families. This
car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
