This 1937 Plymouth PT-50 is a fantasy about honesty. A truck with a genuine '30s feel like this one begs for a lazy Sunday drive, and it reminds you of the serenity that a country road can provide.
The info on this pickup indicates it was part of an older restoration. That seems to be the ideal setup, because it means this received proper attention to erase the years of working hard, and it has also properly aged in so that it can properly evoke nostalgia. The two-tone tan and brown is complete and a reminder of an honest day's work. Its labor credentials feel so legitimate, you could write the name of your business on the side, and it would look like you've been around for a century. And take a look at the vintage style on everything from the Plymouth badge up front, to the spare tire on the front fender. All the wheels have a terrific look with both the two-tone color and correct Plymouth hubcap. It's that kind of old-school attention to detail that makes this one irresistible.
Inside is a cab built for long-lasting function. The button-top bench seat is made of leather for its durability. The door panels and headliner are also in a coordinating dark brown. The three-spoke steering wheel was purely functional decades ago, but today it is beautifully artistic. It has that worn-in grippy feeling that instantly connects you with previous generations. The three-speed manual transmission has a long stick to rest your hand and the action has a very firm mechanical feel.
The straight-six motor has the clean look of good care. And the way it fires up so readily is both a reminder of the restoration investment and how the best trucks still love to get to work. The ride is another exercise in minimalism. Leaf springs and skinny tires are far from modern, which makes them perfect in this time capsule of a pickup. The full experience of being behind the wheel feels like rolling history.
This is solid-running pure nostalgia. If you're looking for the ideal Sunday driver, don't miss this pickup. Call now!
