Specifications
Description
Plymouth was the only car at the time that built a million units in its first year of existence and in a little more than 2 years, the 2nd Million was achieved – even the depression did not effect this car. It was an extraordinary car at extraordinary value.
Plymouth popularity stood securely on its history of building longer life, greater safety and more style and luxury into its cars year after year and in 1937, Plymouth created nothing less than a creation of beauty – irrespective from which angle one looks at it.

- It also had a paint job back in 2003 BUT we should note that Paint today is not good. Car has many paint bubbles in various areas. In some areas, cracking has taken place, as can be seen from photos. Car will need a strip down paint job to make it perfect. Cost wise - one could spend 5K, or 30K on it, depending what you want to achieve. Paint aside, its a beautiful Vintage Car in sound mechanical condition.
- NOTE: Some photos here show the paint before bubbling started to surface. Such photos were taken circa 5 years ago. Other photos show the paint as is today.
- Just under 10K Miles traveled since restoration in 2003.
Great car for Art Deco weekends and other events. A very reliable ride and would make a safe investment - if the paint was not an issue, we would be asking at least NZD45K for it.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
