    I am guessing that you would. I had to make it wider here, although this stuff isn't always perfectly to scale..
    (Ok. Fine. It's NEVER perfectly to scale.)

    Side copy.JPG Rear 3:4 copy.JPG From 1949 into 1954 Ford and Chevy had Coupes that had a different roofline than their 2-Door Sedans. But not Plymouth. They used the same roofline for both Business Coupes and 2-Door Sedans. The difference was that the 2-Door Sedans had roll-down rear windows with a fixed glass at the rear quarter so the rectangular windows could roll down. Could someone put the long deck, shorter top on this example . . .

    Doing a search for the top you are wanting, I got confused pretty fast. Is this the top you have in mind?

    Is this the top you have in mind? Well, no. It looks like that Hardtop roof is as long as the 2-Door. I'm talking about a roof like the difference of a 50 Ford Coupe and a 50 Ford 2-Door Sedan. It looks like they both used the same decklid, but the length of panel between the front of the decklid and the rear window was far greater on the Coupes. I always thought the Coupe was far better looking, and would the same treatment go good on a 53 or 54 Plymouth or Dodge.

    I ain't thinking of cutting this one up just to find out.

    Here's how it might look still using the rear window...

    I figure if Plymouth did make a business coupe, it'd be one of these two ways. Either with a shorter quarter window and longer tulip panel like below

    Side copy2.JPG
    Or with a 4 door front door but the same size quarter window, which would have been less tooling for them and created a shorter roof, like this.

    Here's the original to compare

    So is the car you are thinking of modifying is a '54 Plaza Business Coupe as shown in the photo? It seems that that the car picture was the shortest roof/longest decklid made. I get what you are saying about the Plaza Club Sedan and the rear quarter window difference. It looks like the Savoy Club Coupe shared the same rear quarter window as the Plaza Business Coupe. Here is an image of the an even shorter roof version. I removed the Savoy chrome side moulding to make it more Plaza-esque... :)

    I think you guys all figured out what I was looking for. Plymouth took the cheap way out. No back seat, no roll-down rear windows, no rear arm rests (no seat), etc. When I took this one apart there was a receipt for about $31.00 for the stainless that the dealer added around the lower part of the roof. Plus they also painted the cardboard side panels a dark green to match the factory front ones -- and added some sort of seat. It had the new (to Plymouth) TorqueFlight which I understand got a different compression-ratio engine. Sorta a Pro Stocker (sure!).

    It doesn't look much better with the shorter roof, but I took care of the motor with a 354" Hemi. Thanx to you all for the exercise. (Still like the look of the 49-50 Ford coupes better than the 2-doors.)

    Here's one I did back in 2017. Took a Ford roof and transplanted it to a Plymouth.
    Easy enough in pixels, much harder in real life!

    Looks like an Instagram link doesn’t work , do I need a photo hosting web address ?
     
  20. Just copy the photo to your device and then use the upload file button when you post a reply which will allow you to locate the file on your device and post it directly here.

    Hello,
    No need for any outside photo hosting web or company. Just save it to your own device folders or laptop/desktop computer files.

    1. Send your photo to your tablet photo folder as a jpeg. or to a laptop/desktop computer.
    2. Once the photo is located on a file folder, then open it up to check the focus and
    composition. A blurry photo ruins everything, so use your laptop/desktop photo
    program to get the right size for a good in focus photo.
    3. The composition is important as it is the car being shown, not people, houses or
    trees/grass.
    upload_2021-8-25_8-14-47.png
    4. Once the photo is finished, then copy it to a Word Document to place is correctly. Once
    pasted, copy it for insertion on this reply page. there is no need to hit the upload tab,
    although that works, too.
    5. Once pasted, before you post it, make your adjustments. If it has some errors, you can
    always delete it and try again. no need to post the largest photo you can. some phones
    create large photos, so you can edit them before posting.

    Good Luck...

  26. Ok, so I had to sell my 39 Deluxe Coupe to settle some things BUT I was able to bounce back by getting another 39 Deluxe Sedan this time. This one has a 48 Flathead v8 with some goodies and a C4 auto trans/Granada rear, 56 F100 brakes.
    The color is a Ford Medium Wedgewood Blue. I plan to change the wheel color for now but not sure what do go with. I’m also not sure if I wanna stick with Black walls. Down the road I’m thinking halibrand style wheels big n littles with black wall tires. Please show me your ideas. These are the only pics I have so far since it’s not in my possession yet. Thanks so much!
