I bought a little 1950 fastback Plymouth in Nebraska from I think Clyde Mckinney years ago, He had taken the little Plymouth on a trip from Nebraska to Disneyland as I recall and wrote a story for the "Plymouth Bulletin" He had virtually no trouble on the trip. When I picked up the car in Nebraska I spent the night in a local motel and awoke the next morning checked the car out found that the Carburetor was very loose on the joint where the aluminum upper casting joined the cast iron base and I tightend it up. Told my little Brother to follow me home to Texas. It was early morning the sun was just coming up I leveled of at an indicated 65 mph a it sure ran sweet. About 5 or 6 miles down that long straight road little brother started flashing his lights to signal me and I thought that something had fallen off or it was on fire or smoking or???. When I slowed down he pulled up beside me and Informed me that we were cruising over 80 mph and I had better slow it down. I told him to get in front and take us home at 70 mph. We went home that long way and the little Plymouth hummed!
Don't know why but I just got to tell you these little cars are way under rated.
