drivetrain? MotoeXotica Classic Cars can help. We are pleased to
offer this 1936 Plymouth Westchester Suburban Restomod, complete

transmission. It spent the last decade with the same loving owner
who drove it to numerous shows and cross country trips! Plymouth
built 309 Westchester Suburbans in 1936 with US Body.�US Body &
Forging is best known for the thousands of Dodge and Plymouth
station wagons built by the firm in their Frankfort and Tell City,
Indiana factories through 1950.�Plymouth introduced their first
USCHo/USB&F-built wagon in 1934. Built on the Model PE
automobile chassis it was also called the Westchester Semi-Sedan
Suburban and factory records indicate that only 35 examples were
built. Plymouth continued to utilize the firm's station wagon
bodies on their 1935 and 1936 PJ-based Westchester Suburbans. In a
five-year span, the previous owner converted a 1936 Plymouth P2,
series PE four-door sedan with a Westchester Suburban body. That
friend kept the chassis and drivetrain for a project of his own, so
the previous owner replaced the P2's powertrain with one from a
donor Dodge Dakota. The Dakota also contributed its electrical
system, heater and most of its accessories. Note there is only a
windshield wiper on the driver's side and that the rear doors open
coach-style. This was the final model year for the side-mounted
spare tire on the passenger side. The green paint and white ash and
birch wood on this wagon's exterior are in overall excellent
condition, as is the rubberized roof that was so common on
passenger vehicles of that era. The engine bay is tidy, and the
rear cargo area is in satisfactory order. This Plymouth now sports
bumpers and bumper guards from a 1936 Oldsmobile and they are in
very good condition. The previous owner reportedly spent most of
one winter removing the original door skins and applying the wood
pieces over the door frames, so the doors sound solid when closed.
He kept the electrical system intact - the door jamb switches, dome
light, turn signals, emergency flashers, dimmer switch, heater,
horn, etc. This Woody rolls on Kelly Explorer blackwall radials,
size 215/75R15 at all four corners. The body-colored artillery
wheels are from Wheelsmith and have new Plymouth sailing ship
moons. The tires are in very good shape while the wheels are in
excellent order. Beneath that vee'd prow is a upgraded
fuel-injected 239 CID V-6 engine. Backing that motor is a
five-speed manual transmission. The former owner claims it will
cruise at 70+ mph all day and return more than 20 mpg, an
impossible feat for the wagon's original powertrain. Driver
convenience features include power steering, power brakes and
electronic ignition. Inside, the green front and rear bench seats
are in great shape. There are no carpets or mats, just more of that
beautiful wood. Above the driver's head is a gorgeous wooden
headliner with exquisite details. The original three-spoke steering
wheel is intact and looks great. The former owner used a 1946
Plymouth instrument panel and molded it to the 1936 firewall to
preserve the 36's unique crank-out windshield. He then added the
aftermarket gauges, commenting that they fit very well within the
�46 dash. In the glovebox, there is a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with CD
player. There's also a small fan attached to the front passenger
headliner and aimed at the driver. A wood-topped shift lever
completes the interior. Competition to this Plymouth in 1936
included Chevrolet's Carryall Suburban and Ford's Model 48 Station
Wagon, among others. This Westchester conversion would turn heads
at any car show or cruise night and people would likely start
telling you their Woody stories. Woodies, ones with real wood
panels, mind you, not painted-on ones or 3M Di-Noc vinyl versions,
are becoming rarer and rarer as time passes. If you've ever wanted
to own a Woody, now is as good a time as any to visit MotoeXotica
Classic Cars and take a look at this Plymouth Westchester Restomod
before someone else drives it away. VIN: 2835140 Body number: B05
