Mark and I were working in the Great Western Woodlands recently when we came across this poor old girl languishing in the scrub.
There were no distinguishing marks but there were shadow letters left where chrome had once been.
After a fair bit of head scratching, we deciphered the shadow writing as saying ‘Cranbrook’ and Max Wellstead put us out of our misery by declaring it a Plymouth Cranbrook, produced between 1951 and 1953 – Mystery solved!
Wikipedia says:
“The Plymouth Cranbrook is an automobile which was built by Plymouth from 1951 to 1953. It replaced the Special Deluxe when Plymouth changed its naming scheme and was essentially the same as the Plymouth Concord and Cambridge, but at a higher trim level. Concord Street ran by the plant.
Engine: 3.6 L Flathead I6
Wheelbase: 1951-52: 118.5 in (3,010 mm); 1953: 114 in (2,896 mm)
Length: 1951-52: 193.875 in (4,924 mm); 1953: 189.125 in (4,804 mm)”
