My Great Uncle purchased this 1962 Plymouth Savoy two-door in 1962 from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. According to him, the state purchased too many vehicles and had to purge the extras. This car was supposedly a Captain's vehicle for the interstate. |
| In 1989, my uncle wrecked the car into a tree when his foot got caught between the brake and the gas peddle (he was 81 at the time). The front right fender, hood and grill area were dented and bent. The right rear quarter was also dented. The car sat inside until parts could be accumulated for a full repair. |

 |
The car is practically rust free with the only rust being a little surface rust on the bottom of one floor pan. The car has been recently repaired and painted with my brother Darin doing most of the body work while Dean Crawford finished the car in paint. |
| The original 318 (with the original carburetor) and the transmission were rebuilt and are back in the car. |

My uncle had the seats recovered, but, the original coverings were underneath and ingreat shape. The original headliner is still intact with no cuts or rips. All interior pieces are the originals, except the carpet, and in good shape. Not bad for a 42 year old car that is on it's second/third owner. |
