'59 Plymouth Forum

Hello All,

A friend sent me these pictures:

Can anyone guess what happend here???

Send in your guesses.

Thamks,

Curt

Are those bits of mattress padding I see? Did the dude drive over a mattress?!!

YES and here is the rest of the story:

Driveline Vibration Issue - Possible Root Cause

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

It had still managed to drive 30 miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it high speeds.

This is what the dealership found..............

Wow. I guess that makes that Plymouth a real "Sleeper"

WOW!

You'd think they would have seen the mattress, or at least heard it being wound around the driveshaft!

I guess a 1959 Plymouths sleep number is definetly a "59"..... firm but comfortable on the Highway!

Well I don't think it was a Plymouth, there wouldn't have been any vibration, it couldn't have been a Dodge "swinger". Must be a Chevy "springer" excluding 59 Chevy's of course.

Hey this isn't even a Mopar of any year! But remember to be carefull when you drive through a fence! The fastest way to clean this mess is a blue wrench.
