Description.-
Do not let GM fool you - the best Suburbans were made by Chrysler! This 1956 model is a rare and special example of that fact a car that set the standards for those that followed in its wake.
Plymouth had several Trim packages in the 1956 Station Wagon Class - this one is a well appointed Belvedere indeed...!
Outfitted with a 3-Speed Manual transmission and mechanical Overdrive Module this car is both 'Sporty' to drive and a fully functional 'Grocery-Getter'. The big V8 has absolutely no problem hauling its mid-sized Frame around and has lots of Power at Highway speeds for keeping up on Alberta roads.
1956 was an Iconic year for Suburban Station Wagons as well! The two-tone Paint job is truly unsurpassed and the freshened up Brown metallic on this one makes it better than a brand new one to the eye. This was the last year of the Single Headlamp at Plymouth and the first for 12-Volt Power.
For modern features this car boasts huge forward-looking Fins with the same Inserts as the famous Chrysler 300 Racing Series cars a wrap-around Windscreen Eyebrows on the front Quarter Panels Aviator Hood Ornament and other Virgil Exner design features that set the Industry standard.
Retro features also make this an important 'Transition' car in particular the massive complex and gorgeous Chrome Grille that had soon been replaced by Tin on most cars.
But this particular vehicle survived and had been freshened with a brand new coat of Paint by the previous owner who displayed it for years at the Auto Gallery Museum in Chicago. It is also featured in the 'Hooniverse Online Station Wagon' magazine as a superior and important vehicle and is sure to garner praise for any Collection it is part of in the future.
This is not just a Collector's car (not like the one at the Auto Museum at Heritage Park in Calgary). This vehicle is a lot of fun to drive - the rear Seats fold flat and the Tailgate lays down creating a massive Deck for Camping or Transporting supplies. She sits on brand new Coker Whitewall tires and also comes with a current Inspection showing absolutely no Mechanical Deficiencies and is ready for Summer trips and Parades as well!
Note. It is quite rare that any car combines old and brand new Sport Cargo and Curb appeal as well as this - truly a unique and special car for an investor with Chrysler in mind to take home and enjoy.
This is a must see American Classic and everything within works well
