Sporting the original matching numbers drivetrain, 217ci Flathead 6 with column 3-speed manual transmission. This is a stock 1949 Suburban that has a completely rebuilt engine and transmission. Nice original rare options, full front vent sunshade, drivers spotlight and correct size wide white wall tires. This is a very dry Arizona rust-free body with new paint and complete new interior. All windows and track fuzzies were completely replaced. Beautiful new chrome work bumpers. Power came from the reliable 217ci Plymouth side-valve, 6 cylinder engine that developed 97hp. this little Plymouth drives outstanding and is a fun car to cruise or show, dont miss out, priced to sell. The landmark offering had to be the new all-steel two-door Suburban. With the rear seat in place there was 42 inches of cargo space available; with the seat folded down, another 26- 1/2 inches were added. In a departure from the other wagons, the Suburban carried its spare tire in a well under the rear floor. While the P17 line was intended to be an economy series, the Suburban, at $1,840 was exceeded in price only by the convertible and four-door woody station wagon! The value of the all-steel wagon was not lost on Plymouth buyers and 19,220 were sold, accounting for 3.7% of all 1949 Plymouths sold. Compared to the 3,443 four-door wagons sold, it was obvious Plymouth had a winner on its hands. There was only one year (1941) when station wagons accounted for more than 1 percent of production. In future years, sales of wagons would continue to grow-5.6% in 1950 and 9.75% in 1954until 1958 when the station wagon would be the largest selling body style. in the Plymouth lineup. Years later the 1958 Dell's Car Buyers Guide would call the Suburban "probably the most functional automobile built after the Model T." The Suburban had as standard equipment some items not found on the other P17s, such as two sun visors, dual horns, front bumper guards, rear-seat armrests, dome light, and nine-leaf rear springs (seven leaves were standard on the coupe and two door, eight leaves on Special Deluxes). Standard tire size on all P17s was 6.40x15in Goodyear Super Cushions (6.70 x 15 on the long wheelbase cars, mounted on 4-1/2in rims); 18in wheels were optional on the Suburban only. An oil filter was extra, the rear springs were uncovered, and no crankshaft vibration dampener was furnished. |
