Vehicle Description
This 1938 Plymouth Business Coupe is a steel-bodied street machine
with enhanced V8 power, an overdrive transmission, and plenty of
the right modern upgrades. The result is a head-turning custom
that's easy to show off everywhere.
The business coupe is the best place to start when you want a
custom street machine. They already have a performance/outlaw
history because moonshines loved the extra-large trunks. And not
only was this body style great for extra cargo, it also happened to
have one of the best profiles around as the long rear end has
plenty of space to develop the smooth curve. Plymouth used less
chrome than some of their competitors, which gives the green paint
on this one an uncluttered and more modern appearance. Plus,
upgrades like the clear headlights (with built-in turn signals) and
frenched license plate really add to an extra smooth look. With
chrome being used sparingly, it really helps it stand out on places
like the bumpers, dual waterfall grille, and hallmark hood
ornament. And those racing-style solid alloys with larger and wide
rear ones adds to both the standout shine and performance stance of
this Plymouth
The moment you open the door, you can see that the old 1930s-style
interior has been replaced with a full custom and comfy setup. That
means two late-model bucket seats that have proper seat belts built
right in. And the leather on the seats matches the wrapping around
the sports steering wheel. There are ton of terrific details, like
the custom tweed door panels, and a custom center console that
shows off what those old Plymouth heaters looked like. The dash is
dominated by a full AutoMeter gauge package with large speedo and
tach. But you'll also notice they cleanly installed a modern
AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input and Bluetooth. That way you can hook
up the best in modern music players to this custom vintage
ride.
While this is a Plymouth on the outside, it runs the best of the
other Detroit companies underneath its skin. It starts with GM's
350 cubic-inch small block in the engine bay. This one looks
terrific with plenty of polished components, and a cool matching
ribbed texture on the air topper, valve covers, and master cylinder
(you'll see in the undercarriage photos that even the pans are
ribbed, too.) More than just look good, it's a strong small block
with an Edelbrock 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock air gap
intake, and shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust. You'll even
spot the right supporting components in this tidy engine bay, like
an MSD coil, steel braided lines, and an aluminum radiator
w/electric fan. It's a strong motor, and so you have a stout Ford
9-inch rear end with traction bars and helper springs. This one was
built to be enjoyed at all times, and that's why you have nice
features like power steering and power brakes. Plus, the 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission has highway-friendly overdrive
for you to drive this coupe near or far with ease.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and restoration photos.
