Classic Car Overview

Lovingly maintained and garaged mostly original 1953 Plymouth Belvedere 2dr hardtop with overdrive. I'm only the 3rd owner and was owned by the same person from 1964 to 2016 with detailed handwritten notes of all the maintenance and updates during that time. The car was garaged and not driven for nearly 40 years (1976-2016). This is not a trailer queen, but is a very well maintained driver that underwent a significant revival from 2016-2020 (all receipts available) with an eye towards keeping as much original as possible while still being very drivable and safe.
