Connor bought this 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe Club Coupe from his uncle to replace his 2010 Mazda 3 as a daily driver.
Editor’s Note: “Solid move.”
The car has been in his family for the past 19 years and is very tastefully modified with an emphasis on reliability and comfort.
The electrical system has been updated from 6 volts to 12 volts, and the car has been entirely rewired with a new fuse block and Optima battery.
