Re: Another mine 9/15

That 1953 Dodge Meadowbrook Suburban is actually a Plymouth Suburban with a 114" wheelbase Dodge front clip. The Meadowbrook had a 230.6cid flathead six while the Plymouth had 217.6. The only other differences are the instrument panel, taillights, bumpers, and namplates. The Dodge Meadowbrook 6 used the Plymouth chassis. The V8 was different due to the steering gear.

As for the "mystery car", the only mystery is why anyone would think that would be a prototype. It just screams "backyard special". A few years back I had a Canadian Valiant Signet hardtop with no wheel covers. (Think Dodge Dart GT with Valiant emblems and nameplates) Found a set of six 1966 Canadian Valiant wheel covers (Had Valiant "V" in the centre instead of the Plymouth emblem). Could have sold the car as a Canadian Valiant styling proposal for 1966. Could have made a killing.

Thanks Bob, some interesting Mopars!

That "mystery car" -- tagged a 1963 Dodge Convertible - Rare car! Proto-type" looks more like a 1963 Valiant than a
Dart. It looks like there is a Plymouth graphic in the center of steering wheel. It has later year Dodge hubcaps. Who
knows where that "Colt" emblem in the center of the front grill came from.

That 1963 actually a 1953 reminds me of one of these 2 door wagons (a 1954, same color as the one in this ad) that I
saw at an auction about 25 years ago. (Yikes!) That wagon was completely restored and was real nice; it sold to a guy
who was a dealer going to flip it. No one else at the auction bid on the 1954 and he got it cheap, about $2500 if I
recall right.

Thanks,
