Stella's Saturday Special: Fire up the 1961 Plymouth Belvedere!

Hi!

This time I thought we'd fire up the ol' Belvedere. Several people asked for a look at this car, so here we go. I pulled it out of the barn and stuck a battery in it and she started up right away. I parked this car about 12 years ago, and the gas is getting pretty stale, haha. Nevertheless, we did manage to drive around the yard for a bit.

This car has it's original 225 slant six engine and its still quite serviceable. A fun dashboard straight from the rocket-cars-from-outer-space school of design. Ditto the exterior; Virgil Exner was really reaching for the stars with these last of his forward look series, and some regard this model as having been the styling equivalent of "a bridge too far"...

I am a big fan of these cars; almost none were saved so you don't see them very often. I hope you enjoy a short look at this fun old Plymouth.

Thanks again to everyone for subscribing, and for your comments on the cars!

Cheers from me and Stella.
