I bought this '58 Plymouth Plaza near Eureka, California. I had initially planned on driving the car home, but the car gods deemed it not worthy. The car ran and drove well after some work... but the brakes had been monkeyed with in the past. The drums had been damaged beyond repair. I could potentially have found good drums... but with me running out of time I had to elect to have the car transported home since I had the opportunity to.

This car is an interesting one. It's the cheapest model offered by Plymouth in 1958 but has a lot of options not really seen on Plaza models. The most interesting option is power steering on a flathead 6 engine. I haven't seen another one like that!

This video shows some of the work trying to get the car ready for the 3000 mile trip home. I wasn't getting a lot of footage as I was busting it trying to get the car road ready. I am bummed I couldn't drive the car home. Ya win some and ya lose some!
