56 Plymouth


About the time we were married cars changed a LOT. Mostly they got a lot faster! Chevy came out with an overhead valve engine that, in some configurations, was really fast. My 56 Dodge had a small V8 engine, 272 ci I think. but Chrysler made huge Hemi engines.
That year my favorite car was the Plymouth. One magazine add showed a guy washing his new Plymouth. He looks at the camera and says: "I am no millionaire, but I own it."
I wasn't a millionaire either and i never did own one either.
Right now I am not so sure it was that beautiful!
