Anyone else building old dodge/plymouth other mopars?

A 42 Dodge business coupe?



Sweet lookin wagon back there! whats the story on that?

 

I also have a 42 plymouth. I thought it was a business coupe cause it has no backseat but it's a 5 window. I'm told they're pretty rare because of ww2.
Makes a bitchin taildragger!

 

Hey 2bottle. Here's a couple more pics of the 30 per request.

 

It's a 58 Rambler Cross Country wagon with factory air,tinted windows,ps,pb,and even a trailer towing kit. The original 194 inline 6 with the optinoal 2brl carb has been machine shop rebuilt,and has about 300 miles on it. It has 3 on the tree with overdrive.

It needs a luggage rack,a little bodywork,paint,and a new owner. Rides and drives good,or did back when I had license plates on it.

Interested? PM me with your email address and I can send you some photos of it.

 

That's a pretty cool looking shorty.

 

Has nothing to do with WW-2 Your Plymouth IS a business coupe. Plymouth business coupes were always 5-window coupes until the 1949-50 models came out. The Dodge,DeSoto,and Chrysler business coupes were always 3 window coupes.

BTW,if you compare the profiles closely,you will notice your Plymouth 5 window business coupe has a different roofline than the 5 window club coupes (Club Coupes were the ones with back seats). The back glasses and rubber are even different.

 

Thanx for the info, I meant that 1942 cars in general were rare because of the war. As for the roofline.... it's all chopped up now!

 

'34 Plymouth, Roadster Pickup that Plymouth never made.

Here is a mercifully un-detailed shot of my '57 DeSoto Firedome 2dr HT project and my never finished '57 Plymouth 2dr wagon.

My dad is kinda like a Mopar - he's old and sort of rust colored.

 

Here's mine. Just finished it last fall.

 

some bitchin rides in this thread, ive got a soft spot for the underdog of the car industry that is mopar.

i dont have any pictures yet but i cruise around town every day(because its my only car) in a 54 dodge coronet 4dr with stock ride height, took the side trim off and leaded in the holes, almost stock rebuilt 53 241 hemi with three deuces and stock cam, original 2spd auto that i rebuilt, stock breaks. and im very surprized at how well it handles i can stop much better than i thought old cars ever did, ive avoided a few senior citizens pulling out when they shouldnt have. and on top of it all my 13 gal fuel tank lasts about two weeks. im stoked and i love my car.

 

Here's my 49 Dodge Coronet I built last summer.Sure wish I would not have sold it..

We only have two women in our club, Silhouettes Kustoms and Hot Rods, and both of them are building MOPARS.
Doreen drives a '50 Plymouth Wagon that is all Plymouth from the 318 to the custom seats.
Then we have Sarah"Cherry Baby" and she drives a '53 Dodge more door.
I think she said it is sitting on a late model Lincoln frame running a 318.
Her and her boyfriend pulled it out of a field in Idaho after the farmer said she could have it.
I'll attach some pictures of them and fellow Silhouettes member Jamo's '29 Dodge.
Then a picture of an old '47 Dodge Sedan.... sharp!

 

I have a 1926 dodge brothers 4 door on a 32 chevy frame. My friends said the body won't fit on the frame. hahha to me to go glass an I said if it any steel it aint real. They are mad at me. boo hoo. I have a 350 eng with a 350 tranny and a 87 TA posi rear end. This project is for sale today 11-13-08 I have more pic if interested.

 

I just got my 40 Plymouth with a SBC and 2X4s running again. The linkage is screwy. Man it sounds sweet

 

I HOPE THIS IS OLD ENOUGH.... THIS IS MY '36 CHRYSLER

 

I own a 32 Plymouth p.b. coupe. (17 years )

 

Pleeeeease put up a pic. One of the coolest looking cars EVER. Ford guy don't get mad, but I like them alot better that a 32 Ford. I think I have 2 doors for a 32PB.

 

Flatheaded,you better take another look ! I don't think they ever made a 32 Plymouth 5 window, The first half of 32's looked like 31's they had a flat grill shell,oval rear window,second half of 32 rounded grill shell square rear window.

 

They did make a 32 5 window coupe. They were bodies made and designed for the 33 year but some were sold early in 32. They were the 33 body but had 32 front sheet metal. We used one back in the '60s for a race car.

 

Which is the only really important thing.

 

Damn,that ought to work out great! Good power and decent gas mileage at the same time.

 

I know! My '49 Coronet with the stock flathead is the quietest vehicle I own!

 

The first car I ever bought with my own money was a 38 Chrysler Royal. I was 14,and paid 20 bucks for it with a title. Had a couple of stuck valves and I got a older cousin to help me pull the head and unstick them. Once we did that it ran so quiet you could see the fan turn and not hear it run.

 

Chrysler also had a 33 Plymouth coupe body on a 1932 6 cylinder chassis in late 32. I can't remember what letter Chrysler used to designate this series in 1932,but as far as I can find it it was only the 3 cylinder cars.

 

I have 2 mopars a 1958 plymouth savoy 4dr with a 354 hemi, and a 1934 dodge truck! I love all cars but mopar is my favorite!

 

I got a few

 

just doing the tear down on a 47 one ton duallie....resto no chop chop the next one though will look like this but have the usual front clip and the like done to it.. bed is off now so the rear raised about three inches from that merciful act..better profile to it now I say..

 

say what is the paint code on that or is it custom?
