Vehicle Description
We know why you're looking at this 1936 Plymouth 2-Door Touring
Sedan. You want a great classic that reminds you of a bygone era
with every inch. But you also want a car that can be comfortably
driven like a good classic should. You want it all, and that's
exactly why we caught you looking at this one.
The pointed nose with torpedo-like floating headlights makes an
attractive first impression, and the squared-off trunk makes it
instantly recognizable from behind as a Chrysler product. The body
is not a fiberglass reproduction, but instead American steel that
has been cherished for over 80 years. The paint is a match to the
correct yellow from Chrysler's paint shop, but the kind of gloss
and shine tells you there was a far more recent investment in
quality modern paint. And to make this yellow really pop on the
show field, there are red accents on places like the headlight
supports, streaking across the hood, running along the entire
profile, and on those bold factory wheels with iconic whitewalls
and Plymouth hubcaps. You'll love the stellar overall presentation
from the tall waterfall grille, to the re-chromed bumpers, to the
full sail hood ornament, to the doors that still shut with
authority. And you're not the only one that appreciates all this
quality, because info on past awards won by this Plymouth come with
the sale.
This is a newer interior, but the upholstery shop took their time
to get the right materials and overall presentation correct. That
means the restored light brown fabric does a fantastic job of
giving this spacious sedan a comfortable and complete feeling
without upgrading the Plymouth's everyman theme. You get a great
classic three-spoke steering wheel with Plymouth center cap, and
the floor-mounted shift is a great place to rest your right hand.
You'll love watching the central mounted speedometer do its dance
on every roadtrip. Plus, the correct Philco AM radio and heater
controls that are on display truly make this a time machine of an
interior.
Under the hood, the 201 cubic-inch inline-six has a fantastically
honest presentation. 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. And the secret to this Plymouth is that it had
its own guardian angel. Not only did the consignor make sure that
the restoration work gave this a fantastic presentation inside and
out, but also he says the motor was rebuilt around 9,000 miles ago.
That kind of care means this classic fires up easily, shifts
smoothly, and rides as smooth as a Chrysler/Plymouth should.
There is a great history on this car, right down to the original
1936 registration docs. Time capsule classic like this don't come
around too often, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
