Plymouth : Other Road King

It's rumored. Walter P. Chrysler chose the name Plymouth to exemplify "the endurance and strength" of the Pilgrims who first landed on the shores of their new world in 1620.   Driving and viewing this  Road King Two Door "Touring" Sedan P7 pretty much exemplifies his statement.  It's  thoughtfully and well built. and certainly rugged. having survived 75 years of existence with who knows??. how many owners over the decades. Historically. I'm sure there are many rich and fun stories that follow this car.  
Originating from a Estate. having sat dormant and in hibernation since its last known registration in 1993. (21 years)  based on the antique plate affixed to it when I purchased and resurrected it. it represents an older in what appears to be a complete.  uncorrupted. overall restoration. inclusive of its mechanicals.  
be a rebuilt 201 cubic inch L Head inline six cylinder engine. with a rated 82 horsepower. its starts. nbsp;runs and drives with no unusual noises. eaks. vibration. or smoke. Its transmission. with now the first year of machined steel gears.  shifts  smoothly.  with a strong clutch. and propels it nicely . reasonably. nd quietly down the road.  
Its rich Aviation Blue finish reveals some minor. almost imperceptible checking on the tops of the rear fenders. some minor bubbling on the lower valance below the bumper. nd three very small areas of  bubbling to the two doors . barely noticeable.  
The Road King maintains very nice. and solid. frame. loors. ocker panels. door and trunk lid bottoms. quarter panels. trunk. suspension. nbsp;running boards. and most sheet metal overall with no evidence of metal patching anywhere. Stainless trim is in excellent condition.  A consistent application of Carnauba wax has maintained the luster. and finish integrity without any changes.  
The bias ply whitewall tires are in nice condition. and quiet when driving. nbsp;however are older with no evidence of cracking.  The Road King tracks very nicely with no evidence of alignment issues. or excessive steering play.  
The Road Kings interior is in excellent condition. with no apparent rips or tears.  Its glass is equally as nice with the exception of a approximately one inch crack at the base of the left rear window. All the windows seal. and roll up and down very nicely in their channels.  
Controls. and lights. function as originally designed. however the speedometer/odometer does not accurately represent the correct speed and accrued mileage. however is fully functional.  "No officer. I wasn't speeding. it read only 30 mph??##**. "  Translated:   It registers slower than actual speed.  The Cowl Vent. a nice. and now lost feature on contemporary cars. is a nice feature to have when touring.  
The unique. architecturally interesting" integrated" headlamps were the first year for Plymouth as was the statuesque front grill. giving it a bold. attractive.  and graceful and popular frontal appearance.  
Recent servicing includes a oil change with Pennzoil 10/30 with ZDDP additive (zinc/Phosphate). coolant flush (correct green). gear oils replacement. new spark plugs. points and condenser. complete chassis lubrication. four wheel brake inspection and adjustment and brake fluid flush (its hydroscopic) etc.   I'm sure I left something out here.  

In conclusion. as previously mentioned. please keep in mind this is a 75 year old car. not concourse . but a highly respectable driver quality two door touring sedan which is simply a joy. and a lot of fun to drive.   The Road King will be sold as is. where is with no warranty expressed or implied.  I strongly suggested buyers. or their agents.  inspect the Road King prior to sale.  Expectations differ for everyone. and I wish to have a happy and satisfied buyer. with full disclosure following purchase.  The text and pictures herein cannot realistically describe every nuance and detail of this fun car.
