This is Our 1933 Plymouth coupe. My dad built this car in the late 60's It was featured in HotRod Magazine in Dec 1971 issue @ Memphis TN. NSRA. It is all Mopar ! The car has a 1957 392ci Hemi, with a HUGE Moon Bumpstick and Isky Duran Valve Train. also fueling it is 2 Holly 650-4bbls. & a 3sp. OD Tranny w/ a 5:13 Screw in a Desoto Rear. It has Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, Stewart Warner guages and White Leather Interior. This Car was put in storage in Sept. 1972 and stayed there to never see the light of day until March 1997 when we pulled her out and went thru the brakes, carbs, and some re-wiring also new tires. The engine was not stuck and with alittle TLC it cranked and is still running today !! We treasure this car as it was the first Real Nice "HOTROD" my father Built. Named "Little Bum" . The above pics are him and my mom on the running board circa 1966-68. The second one is at a local car show circa. 1970 and the third is at a local Cruise-in to date.

Unfortuantley....this car along with 7 other collector cars that I owned along with a vast amount of collectibles, 2 Motorcycles, 2 travel trailers from the 60's all the tools I owned all burned in a garage fire on June 8, 2012. The fire absoulutly destroyed everything...the heat was so intense it did over $20,000 in damages to my house over 75 feet away. I will post pictures on my page of the fire damage. 1 of 2 things started the fire, either 1 of the motorcycles shorted out, or a battery tender hooked to the motorcycle shorted out. The fire marshal could narrow it down to the starting point but not the exact ignition.
Sorry to hear of your loss, I know first-hand how devastating that can be. :(
So sorry for your loss, that was a sweet looking ride!
Thanks pickerknows, I did post some pictures of my fire, only hoping to educate people that these pictures that we take of our antiques are worth there weight in gold when you have to inventory them for the insurance company. and.....buy more insurance to cover your personal property !!!
Truer words!! for sure!
