Description

1954 Plymouth Belvedere (Series P25-3)

2-Door Hardtop - Sports Coupe

Full Restoration & Rebuild: FRAME-OFF RESTORATION

Santa Rosa Coral& Black Top

First year of the Belvedere as its own model for Plymouth. Also new for 1954 was a larger standard engine: 230.2 cu in (3.8 L) that was also used by the Dodge Division. Power rated at 210 hp. This 2-door hardtop was factory painted a striking and rare color combination of SANTA ROSA CORAL with BLACK Top...and factory tinted windows ...in 1954 most 2-tones were capped white… black was the “bad boy” color.

HISTORY: This car had been owned by one family in Toronto, Canada. It was a pristine & low mileage survivor that the last owner found and then lovingly restored. A complete restoration was done over a period of almost 10 years. He then enjoyed the car for another decade. I purchased the car from his estate. No expense had been spared in rebuilding the vehicle from end to end. When I bought the car it was located 2 hours north of Toronto, Canada. From there this beauty was loaded on a train and shipped to Vancouver, BC. I drove it south over the border to Seattle; a drive of about 2 ½ hours. The car was cruising straight and strong at speeds of 65 to 70 MPH without issues. What a fun day.

In my 3+ years of ownership I have only had one chance to get this car to a car show. It was a real head turner…and people’s favorite choice for the show. A few of the photos are from the car’s participation in a magazine type professional model shoot.

MECHANICAL & BODY: Full frame-off body, interior and running gear restorations. NOS pieces used, the interior all redone using correct colors & upgraded materials. Most everything was re-chromed that was not located as NOS. The body & frame metals in this car are unbelievable. When you look up underneath the car ….what you see looks as good as new out of the factory! All metal surfaces were repainted in the vehicle: dash, window frames & interior panels, under hood & trunk lids, inside trunk, engine compartments, etc. You can see the paint coatings even in the wheel wells and under the bumper extension panels. Amazing attention to details. Every nut and bolt looks new. Engine, transmission, all running gear rebuilt or replaced. Correct colors & decals under hood, interior rear side lights work…all interior panels, trunk liners, etc…done to factory+ specs. Correct 4-ply whitewall tires on factory rims with NOS hubcaps. Even the headliner was replaced with high quality new padded mohair liner.This car is amazing …photos do not do this car justice!

This Belvedere always fires right up even after sitting long periods. It runs strong, it idles smooth, it purrs. Car has always been kept in a heated garage. This car was built at the Ontario, Canada, Plymouth plant. As such, it can be sent back to Canada with ease. Few miles have been added since it's full restoration. The mileage of 79,300 is actual to this car. Factory manual in glovebox, spare tire, jack & tire iron. All factory correct VIN tag & serial plate.

This may be the finest example 1st year Belvedere 2-dr Hardtop still around. Priced below estimates of value, and well below costs to rebuild & restore a car to this level. An amazing find in a fantastic color. I am including my props of the vintage 50’s pillows and coral colored long ladies gloves. More photos available upon request.
