Vehicle Description
This is a true rare gem. American manufactures were well into
wartime planning by the time this 1941 Plymouth Deluxe sedan was
built. But more than just one of the last to go before the war,
there is just something special about a well cared for and
documented classic that holds onto reminders of a bygone era.
It's great to own a car with a story. This 1941 Plymouth is the
same type of vehicle (P11) that would be painted olive green and
used as military transport only a few months after this one left
the assembly line. But as you can see, this one was made for
families, and not four-star generals. That means you get a lot more
great chrome in the intricate bumpers, headlight surrounds, and the
Plymouth sailing hood ornament. But the piece of brightwork you'll
love the most is the cool line that starts at the tall grille and
runs parallel down the full length of the teardrop body. Even if
you don't want to tell the tale of how this one fits into American
history, the metallic gray paint, factory suicide doors, and
period-correct two-piece hubcaps will attract plenty of attention
at the car shows. Then you can point out the "A" in the windshield.
This is the WWII gas ration sticker, still adhered where it was
placed years ago.
The caramel cloth interior looks so good, it's quite possibly
original. Then again, it could also be part of the investment when
this car was refreshed in the 80s. Either way, if you look closely
you'll see neat details that would be a challenge to duplicate
today. Enjoy the pleats running down the center of the seats, and
the nice embroidered patterns on the door panels, all of which show
off simple art-deco styling that is pure 1940s. The woodgrained
garnish moldings and dash have an authentic feel too, and the
original gauges are intact with clear markings. Plus, this one
still can be nice and comfortable thanks to the working heater and
innovative (for the time) fresh air vent system.
The 201 cubic inch inline-six is exactly the motor that should be
under the hood of this very period-correct sedan. Torquey and
smooth, it moves the tidy sedan quite easily, and it has proven
itself to be as reliable as an anvil. Looking highly original with
its oil bath air cleaner, this engine has an appearance of honesty
that fits with its legacy. The three-speed manual transmission
makes sure you get the most out of the flathead motor. Strong
brakes and a comfortable suspension are more reasons why Chrysler
products were so ahead of their time. This authentic package is
finished off with iconic whitewall tires.
This is the classic sedan for car lovers and history buffs. You
even get plenty of original documentation that includes the owner's
manual, warranty card, title, and service info. Don't let this
affordable American story slip through your fingers. Call
