This 1951 Plymouth Concord business coupe is described as a mostly original, 58k mile example with two previous owners that was stored for more than 20 years in a California barn. Shown immediately below right after being pulled from an additional two year nap earlier this year, it’s since been cleaned up and made it into a cool, road-worthy example of this hard-to-find bodystyle. Find it here on eBay in Fort Worth, Texas for $11,500 OBO.

The car was purchased new in El Cerrito, California and driven by the original owner until 1966, when he sold it to a neighbor. After using it for four years, the neighbor gave the car an amateur respray, installed a new seat cover and drove it until 1992, when it was put in a barn and stored for 20 years. In 2012, it was pulled out, started, and sold to the seller. The listing says it’s been given a clean-up and had various things repaired or refurbished including new brake lines, wheel cylinders, radiator, fuel system and more, while the paint has been wet-sanded and polished with some repaired trim pieces. Though a handful of dents and dings are noted by the seller, the body looks quite straight in photos.

The interior is plain and simple, reflecting its humble and unpretentious place in Plymouth’s lineup when new. The car came without a radio from the factory, but the seller says the second owner added a period correct unit with an antenna. The interior is original excluding the seat cover, and still has its original rubber floor mats. The headliner has turned brown with age and the steering wheel’s paint has chipped, but overall the cabin presents quite nicely for a largely original, 60+ year old car. We’d fix the torn seat cover and leave it as-is otherwise.

The engine compartment could use a good cleaning but is also said to be fully factory original. The car’s 218 cubic inch, 97 horsepower flathead six is said to run well and powers the rear wheels through a three on the tree. Steering is described as tight, the clutch has been adjusted and is said to take up smoothly, and the car further benefits from new tires and shocks.

These three window coupes weren’t big sellers when new, making such a lightly used and well-preserved example a rare find today. Given this one’s low mileage, it should provide many years of use without much expense–neatly continuing its original purpose decades after most met with the crusher or rusted into dust.
