Cool!! Looks like a limo. I think you need to grab it for sure. Can't be any others like it in Hawaii for sure.

I had a 51 Dodge with the auto with a clutch. it tooka couple of lights to remember to use the clutch but after driving it a while I loved it, the car just smelled like rat pee and looked just as bad, so I sold it and moved on

The trans in these cars is pretty unique. They are a two RANGE and then two speeds in each range with hydraulic/automatic shifting between the two gears in each range. You simply put it in what would normally be first or second (first being low range,second being high range)for a three on the tree and then let the clutch out. There is also a torque converter in these trannys so you don't need to use the clutch for a short stop or to slow way down. To get them to shift between gears you accelerate til you want to shift then let up on the throttle and the trans should shift and then accelerate again. They shift with a clunk and the slang for them at the time was a Clunk-a-matic. The six cylinder is a flat head (called an L-head) and is as dependable as they come normally. Not the most powerful engine ever, but they run forever if cared for. Looks like a real nice find. Good luck with it.

I'd first just GET the car . Clean it up , see how far you can get everything working again . Sometimes old cars don't really take much to get back on the road . While it's nice to dream about updates & swaps for the future the car will be at least a little more valuable (not that these types of cars are worth a ton investment wise)
You may find you like the car just as the factory built it or you may come across something you love even more , and that would be the one to spend the time & effort with .
keep us posted on what happens regardless ..

If you give me the model name & number along with the wheelbase , I can look up the production numbers of your Chrysler
