Red Hot Plymouth...

... thought I would never use those words together!
My mom had a Plymouth with a push button transmission.
It was the only time anyone in our family had a Plymouth.
It was totaled in a wreck (Everyone was okay)
She replaced it with a Galaxie 500... ;-))
That was a car and tough, became the "extra car".
Many used it in between what ever and whats next!
It took a lot of use and abuse to kill it off.

:) Looking back, we went through a lot of cars it seems. My Mom drove like a maniac. She srove a Jeep in




We had a 65 Galaxie 500. Learned to drive on that. Raindrops and color add interest. V

Very nice detail shot. I like the off center composition and droplets. "V"

We never had a Plymouth, but we did have a DeSoto like that and later a Galaxie which my Dad then gave to me as my first car. Years later I had another newer one. Great detail shot John. ~BV~

My first two cars were Plymouth's A '37 and a '49. Why? They were available.

A friend of mine mother had a blue station wagon with a push button tranny! Love the nice tight crop, detail and drops! V
