bought a car today

In my defence I went out today to look at a 1951 Meteor... But I ended up purchasing a 1958 Plymouth Savouy It is actually a pretty nice looking car right now except one front fender. It hasa 313 wide block motor has been parked for 14 years though.

Yep exactly like Christine but mine is 2 tone green and the paint is too good to redo.
The Meteor is a 4 door has a lot of nice parts recently running and driving but the floor is gone

When I was a kid my dad owned a 58 Plymouth Belvedere 4dr, brown and biege in color. We went on a trip in the mountains pulling a tenet trailer in 67 with it before my dad got his 64 Dodge 440 series wagon which was also a great car.
That old 58 sat on a friends acreage for a couple of years and he sold it. LAst time I saw it. the young guy painted the grill area a bright orange color. Never saw the car again.
I liked tha old car as the wagon too. I learned to drive standard in that wagon.
