I like the total look... Does it have a tube grill? The lake pipes are a nice touch on the all black and no other chrome but the spots. Looking forward to more pics! It gets me excited to get started on my projects also.

Thanks for taking the picture of the radio. Can't say I've ever seen one like it. I really like see old aftermarket items like that. Allstate, eh? Makes the car just a little different than anyone else's. I have an NOS Arvin heater in my '55 that I have only seen one other of, altho I know there has to be others out there. On the installation sheet that came with it, it shows that it can be installed in '55 Plymouths also. Think about getting a Secret Radio System http://www.jsclassics.com/secretaudio.html to get rid of the Modern radio hanging under the dash. Diggin' the hell out of the upholstery. Bitchen car...

Very nice, the no chrome with the lakes is such a clean look

Do the rear windows roll up of down? If they don't you way well have a Business Sedan which would be even rarer than a regular sedan.

The windows do roll down, its not a business sedan. I checked that when we were making the deal. Honestly, I'd rather have the windows roll down than have the rarer model.
One thing I forgot to post last night (I was tired!) the odometer has 58K showing and I have every reason to believe its correct. I'm the forth owner, the two previous owners believed it to be true. They owned it a total of 30 years combined. The owner that purchased it from the original owners estate said it had 42K when he got it and it was so clean and smooth that he believed it was correct. Can't know for sure, but looking at it and underneath it I can believe it.

If that Allstate radio was bigger then a modern radio I would like to have the face so I could modify it so a modern radio could be installed in it so no welding would need to be done to the dash to accept a modern radio,I am thinking about finding another dash and a extra glove box door and using the glove box door as a patch to fill the radio hole up and cut the dash for a modern radio if I can ever find the paint code for my dash color.
