Vehicle Description
Having a cool 1949 Plymouth Special DeLuxe sedan in police car form
is a cool parade machine. But when you see it has something hotter
under the hood than factory, this "cop motor" will make you really
enjoy being on the right side of the law.
First of all, there is just something seriously cool about driving
a vintage sedan dressed up in patrol car livery. Whether you loved
Dragnet or Andy Griffith, this Plymouth instantly brings back those
feelings of TV heroes. And the emotion is all in the details of
this sedan. The working gumball light on top, loud siren, and hand
spotlights mounted on the sides. The red and white paint with
deputy badge on the front doors. Even the simple wheels with
Plymouth hubcaps look the part. It all adds up to a great package
celebrating the best in law enforcement. And even without the cop
package, you have a nicely presented Plymouth with the big grille,
complete trim, and wraparound chrome bumpers. It is a
well-preserved car from the full sail hood ornament to the way the
doors still close with authority.
The tasteful interior is pure post-war design, but it's been
updated so you don't lose the comfort. The red and white fabric on
the seats do a great job of coordinating not only with the two-tone
on the exterior, but also the two-tone that's continued on the
interior. The end result is a great coordinated total package. You
get the factory white and chrome steering wheel, and beyond that is
a set of classic-style Dolphin gauges that keeps you completely
informed about what's going on under the hood (there's even a tach
for that, too!)
When you first look into the engine bay, those Plymouth valve
covers might make some people think this is an original motor.
Instead, we'll just call this a stealthy police package special.
Because while Plymouth was running inline sixes during this era,
you're really looking at small block Chevy power. In fact, this 350
cubic-inch V8 has been enhanced with performance upgrades such as
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Holley intake. That gives
this patrol car nice power and an intimidating rumble out of the
glasspack dual exhaust. Plus, this has received all the right
maintenance with good belts & hoses, newer fuel pump, rebuilt
alternator and an electric fan. Also, you get the comfort of GM's
three-speed automatic transmission, and the smooth ride Plymouth is
known for. So going out on patrol in this classic is still an easy
decision.
An attention-grabbing classic with extra power under the hood and a
very affordable price. You're not the only one who is tempted by
this Plymouth, so hurry up and call today!
