for many years the cars list price was with a 3 speed, altho they
rarely sold one. It just was a way to keep the price low, then "bump
you up" as they filled out the car order. I know of a 66 Chrysler
Convertible with NOTHING except a clock. 3 speed, radio delete which is
huge since it had a Chrome plated cast pot-metal dash panel and this
one has one without any provision for the radio. You would have to
change the dash center panel to install a radio. It cost Mopar more to
make that special dash panel then it would have if they gave their best
radio away with the car.

Subject: [FWDLK] 1954 Plymouth info needed???
I ran across a strange looking car that I have never seen before. It
is a
1954 Plymouth Belvedere 4dr with hydrive and a flat head six? I am
thinking
of buying it to sell. Is there a market for a car like this? It Very
little rust and all original. Will need complete restoration and was
parked
in 1971. What would be a rough ball park? I think I can get here
running
again.

The car you're talking about should be an inline Manifold so that
wouldn't be a problem in assembly.
The Ram Dual 4 units were in the trunk for Dealer installation. The
Ram units could not be installed on the line as the engine came up
from the bottom and they would not clear the inner fenders. These cars
came with a single 4 on them so they could be driven on and off the
carrier.

this
man bought a new 56 D500 and ordered a dual 4-barrel set-up. The unit
was in the trunk and the dealer had to install it. They told him the
unit was a 57. According to him it had the oval-------58 to 62 type
