I will be starting this blog with a post about the oldest car I personally own. A 1928 Plymouth Four door sedan Model Q.1928 was the first production year for Plymouth.I found this car at a old service station about an hour south of Kansas City in the small town of Melvern KS. I saw this car wrote the number down that was in the window made a call and less than 48 hours later my brother and I were back with truck trailer and cash in hand. The engine was seized up when I first checked it out but after pouring some diesel in the cylinders and three hours later I had the engine spinning freely and a couple days later had it starting, I'm still working on getting it to run smoothly but I feel after sitting since 1961(last known date it was on the road) I did a decent job. What i'm going to do with it is still undecided it is so original it would be a shame to chop it up but it would probably cost twenty-thousand to restore and at the end of the day it may only worth twenty five or thirty. I will probably continue to hoard this car for awhile but if the right price is offered or another car comes up I can't live without it'll be gone.
