1953 Plymouth Cranbrook Convertible / With Continental Kit / Extremely Rare Car

Vehicle Description

100 hp, 217.8 cu. in. L-head inline six-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 114"Plymouth motored into 1953 with an unbroken 25-year record as the number three U.S. automaker; however, a looming “price war” between Ford and Chevrolet would erode sales in 1954. In a classic case of evolution rather than revolution, Plymouth carefully refined its model line both aesthetically and mechanically, in preparation for the fully restyled 1955 lineup.
