Hello and welcome. Your whaletail is a good looker. Do you have any plans to restore or are you just going to travel around a bit and enjoy the admiration of others?

If it were my house I'd be planning on modernizing the inside
Will you be pulling it with that Ford in your avatar pic? With the old flathead V8 it might well do it. Is it a 53 or 54? Can't quite tell.
Your work schedule works pretty well for visiting forums since we are still in the AM here.
My son-in-law works for the Union Pacific in Oregon as a signalman.

Now that's what I call a garage. Impressive!

Your Plymouth bears a striking ressemblance to Christine from John Carpenter's 1983 movie.

Welcome to the forum Sean
Very nice desireable rig you aquired [whaletail]...I like that garage too.
Also looks like you're got some nice autos.

Thanks for sharing your photos...please share
more when you get a chance.

yes mine is a 58 belvedere the exact model used in the film , they used 18 stunt cars to make the film using savoy , plaza , belvedere coupes
the car in the film was ment to be a fury but furys never came in red and never had the silver alloy trim like Christine ......
