I'd drive that every day, and twice on Sunday. If I could get in/out of it.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link

It's fun to google-drive down country roads and explore. Sometimes you run across old cars in random places.
This was sitting in front of a car wash in Bridger MT. Still has the hubcaps!

I think this is a Plymouth. Perhaps late 40s early 50s.
Dad had a 48 Plymouth and it had different grill, but the center opening doors. Dad used as a pickup in the early 60s.

Interesting car. Have to say I like 4 door car practicality over 2 door even if they aren't perhaps as easy on the eyes.

Oh yeah, suicide doors, I missed that.

I wonder about cars like this - it’s not out in a field like you often see….
It was plopped there to get it out of the way while they moved other things around in the barn?
It’s to attract attention to the car wash in this tiny town?
It has license plates and air in the tires - maybe it’s functional!

Back in the 1990s(?) a coworker had a 1936 Plymouth that he drove to work nearly every day. It was not restored or fancy, but it ran ok. I don't remember him being a serious 'car guy', so I don't think he did much work on it. But he did not have to drive on the freeway to get to work.

I hunted and hunted for images, tried everything, Plymouth, DeSoto.....

I think it's a 1940 or '41 Hudson. Here's some pics -
