This 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook Club Coupe was first sold on September 18, 1951, at R.D. McKay Motor, Co. in Wichita, Kansas. It is finished in green over gray cloth upholstery and is powered by a 218ci L-head inline-six linked with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Features include 15″ steel wheels with bright covers, a Mayflower hood ornament, an aluminum radiator, a heater, and front lap belts. The car was purchased by the seller in 2024, and subsequent work included overhauling the brakes, replacing the wiring harness, rebuilding the carburetor, resealing the transmission, replacing the clutch, and more detailed in provided service records. This Cranbrook Club Coupe is now offered with a clean Louisiana title in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in Nile Green (#20), and exterior details include a split windshield, a driver-side mirror, bright bumpers with rear outer guards, and a Mayflower hood ornament. Corrosion is noted on the roof rail above the driver’s door and the rear bumperalong with paint touch-ups around the body.

Steel 15″ wheels feature bright covers and are mounted with wide whitewall tires. Braking is provided by drums at each corner, and the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, and hoses were replaced in February 2025.

The bench seating is trimmed in gray striped cloth and accompanied by color-coordinated door panels and carpeting. The car was equipped from the factory with front vent windows and a heater, and front lap belts and an aftermarket turn signal controller were added under current ownership. There is peeling paint on the dashboard.

Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer flanked by auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 68k miles, approximately 75 of which were added under current ownership.

The 218ci L-head inline-six was factory rated at 97 horsepower. An aluminum radiator is fitted. The engine was removed, resealed, media-blasted, and repainted in October 2025, at which time, the timing system was checked and adjusted. Additional work performed since 2024 has included rebuilding the carburetor, replacing the spark plugs, fuel sending unit, water neck, and fuel pump, and installing a replacement wiring harness and main electrical fuse block.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Maintenance since 2024 has included resealing the transmission, replacing the clutch assembly, adjusting the shifter rods, and replacing the rear axle seal and pinion shaft seal.

A copy of the dealer invoice shows factory equipment, a 1949 Ford Tudor trade-in, and a total price for the car of $1,961.75.
