We bought the car "Wyatt" from the 2nd owner who got it from his father. It had a 1957 283 Chevy Motor and a powerglide tranny. I found it on Craig's List for $1200 and it was only there for an hour before I called and told them I would like to be the first person to look at the car.

There were 2 other buyers that showed up when I was there so I jumped at it. I have always wanted a "hump back coupe" as I always called them. So we trailered it home and began to write down all of our plans. I also joined a forum from P15 and D24 Site. They have answered all of my questions and have been wonderful.

Wyatt is a 1946 Plymouth Coupe. 31,000 or so were made between 1946 and 1949 so it's not the rarest car on the road, but it's certainly not common.

After 3 weeks, we have the nose off and have removed the old engine and tranny. We will replace them witha newer 350 Chevy and a tranny with overdrive. I plan on this to be a nice street cruiser. Not a show car or trailer queen, but something comfy and easy for my wife Tonya to drive.

I'll keep you posted!!!

Well, we got most of the body bolts out but the body still won't come off. I also took out the interior and the floors LOOK GOOD!!!!
