Vehicle Description
The 1940 Plymouth had the same underlying theme set down in 39, but
nothing interchanged between the two. The body was all new, carried
on an 117 wheelbase chassis for all body styles. The longer frame
allowed the engine to be moved four inches forward and the rear
axle pushed back by over seven inches, providing ten cubic feet
more passenger space and 18 1/2 cubic feet of trunk space even with
a one inch lower roofline, headroom remained the same. Minor engine
changes brought horsepower up to 84, the optional aluminum
high-compression head raising that figure to 87. A new
transmission, with a blocker-type synchronizer, was standard on all
models. Identified by its slide mounted cover.This particular
Plymouth Coupe Deluxe is believed to have 78,398 miles and appears
to be original. It could be yours for $29,998. Considering the age
and style and condition of the vehicle, that is a steal!
