Certain, it’s not precisely what you most likely anticipated. We actually like basic vehicles in excellent situation, with unscratched paint, and restored interiors, although there’s one thing very particular about an previous automobile coated in a pure patina. That is precisely the case with this 1972 Plymouth, which is the star in one of many newest episodes of the Hand Constructed Automobiles sequence on YouTube. Let’s meet the proprietor.
Mark has been obsessed with American automobiles for at the least 15 years and he usually sees no approach in returning to vehicles produced exterior the US. His newest buy is the mentioned Plymouth, which he acquired shortly after promoting a fantastically restored 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville for private causes. He was searching for one thing utterly completely different – a automobile he can drive each day with out being afraid of scratching the paint – and he discovered all he ever wanted with the Plymouth.
