hi
I am Jerry Whitfield in Winston Salem, N.C. Here is my recently finished 56 wagon. I added PS, PB, and A/C. The factory color is called seafoam green. It came from California to me without an engine, so I had a 318 A" (1958) rebuilt and installed. This is the 3rd 56 plymouth I have owned. The others were a 2 door sedan and a 4 door sedan. Feel free to contact me.

What a nice job you did here! Then I was thinking: "What about this small change?"  - SERGE -

Hi Jerry, just look at the paint between the windows - like or not like? -> a small change! 

. . . and here two other small changes for attentive observers - found?  - SERGE -

hi
you really fooled me because I could not figure out how the color change occurred between windows. :) I never thought about photoshop.

Also, no, I have not observed the other two small changes. Would you like to point them out to me?
thanks
jerry

Yes Jerry. Dave did well to superpose the two pictures. It's not Photoshop, this is just a tool. As I said, it needs attentive observation.

1. The paint between the windows.

2. The left bumper hanging.

3. The Side Trim Moulding end of rear door, not in-line.

For Mopar at the time, this was perfect!

Beautiful wagon ! I have a 56' Savoy 2 dr in this color combo,and also a 55' Plaza 2dr wagon under restoration. Bought the Savoy all done,so it really looks great,but it has the flathead six,so a v-8 would be nice,but we'll see..see you have a new dual master cylinder,and power booster..have you converted to disc's up front ? And the power steering,stock or something else ?
Thanks

Ok Jerry,thanks for the answers,ready for a couple more questions ? hehe,well,just wonder if you still have the original headliner installed ? The interior colors are so different from my Savoy, which is all green.Dark,medium and light..just think it's too much of it,but it is how it left the factory,so I will leave it untouched.But if I were to paint the 55' Suburban in Seafoam green,your interior colors would be a much nicer choice..is your interior original ?
Thanks,
Geir

Hello.
Is that LA-built car?
Can you show the cowl tag?
Thanks.
