like-new condition, which is where we get the term 'resto,' short
for 'restored.' Once the car takes on parts to improve its
performance, handling, and safety, the car has now been 'modified.'
Motor Trend, July 2019 The Motor Trend editor's definition of a
resto-mod might well have been written to perfectly describe the
1934 Plymouth PE offered here. And while every automotive category
sees a wide range of cars, some exceptional, some not, this red
Plymouth stands at the top of the resto-mod quality scale where
execution and details tell the tale. The car's exterior paint
across the all-steel body is virtually flawless, and red never
looked better on a car. The shine and smoothness of the finish is
exceptional. From its grille surround to its re-engineered
firewall, to the gracefully sloping rear end that marked this
Plymouth when it was new, the red paint draws the eye and generates
the oohs and ahhs. Ample chrome finish on the bespoke Plymouth
grille, headlights, bumpers, windshield-surround, taillights, and
wheels is flawless. The hood ornament and Plymouth grille badge are
simply beautiful. The black-fabric convertible top provides perfect
contrast. Under the hood, and visible from both sides by way of the
hood panels, is the 225 cubic-inch Slant 6 powerplant (in red, of
course) with bored .030, forged pistons, and appropriately topped
with a Mopar-branded air cleaner assembly. Chrome valve covers and
engine trim bits including Holley 320 CSM carburetor add visual
excitement. The engine bay is automotive art. Under the car, lots
more evidence of the quality of this extensive build abounds.
Perfectly routed exhaust, x-frame, and spotless finishes are
evident. The disc brakes and 727 Torque Flight automatic
transmission also bear out the comprehensive updating that results
in 21stcentury roadworthiness. The car's interior is fully and
beautifully updated, and again, red dominates. Leather
seating-including the rumble seat-and leather door trim is all
fresh and professionally installed. Carpeting is without a hint of
wear. The steering column is topped by a red-leather-trimmed
Lecarra sport steering wheel. In a perfect resto-mod touch, the
floor-mounted automatic shifter and emergency-brake lever retain
the style of the car's original 1934 setup. The dashboard features
machine-turned metal, Moon gauges, and classic oval glovebox cover
concealing a modern Pioneer audio head unit. While the more than
125 high-definition photographs of the car taken from every angle,
including from underneath, faithfully represent this perfectly
resto-modded Plymouth, cataloging every detail of this remarkable
build would take a book-length tome. For that reason, as well as to
fully appreciate the visual delight of this remarkable automobile,
we encourage in-person inspections at our Grand Rapids, Michigan
showroom. We ask only that an advance appointment be arranged by
phone or email. Our showroom is not open to the public, so your
appointment helps ensure you have our full attention during your
visit. With only 5,000 miles driven since the car's build was
completed, there's almost no limit to the number of fall cruise
drives, cars-and-coffee gatherings, and moonlight top-own drives
ahead for the next owner of this one-of-a-kind resto-mod.
