    Over the weekend I found in 1929 Plymouth that appears to have been turned into a truck during the war the farmer thought that it didn’t have a roof but I found one That might be a match ??? I’m not sure if it is ...but aside from this I also found what appears to be a 1929 Plymouth roadster cowl. I’m not too hard on the coupster concept but could a clean roadster be made out of a coupe if in fact I used a roadster Cowl, ( the roof is cut so I would not feel to bad...) I know the doors will be a little bit tall but perhaps that can be fixed.... One of these days I’ll quit finding shit and I’ll be able to finish the projects I already have lmao
    P.S The 31 Buick in the back isn’t for sale...

  5. Nice score!
    The doors may be a little work as the roadster cowl looks like it has a bit more curve at the top. Mock it up and then you will have a better idea.

    Just wondering if anyone can decipher or shed some meaning regarding the top line from the tag?

  8. Perhaps it is not an American built car ( USA) like Argentine or something? Just a guess.

    As for roadster lots of coupe got the roof chopped off way back when. If you really want it to look roadster you have to play with the belt line a little bit and us roadster windshield stations, or maybe a Halloc (SP?) style windshield.

    Personally I think if I had a coupe that needed a top I may make a Cabriolet out of it, and a Carson style top. Best of both worlds bad weather bolt the top on and roll the windows up good weather roll em down and remove the top.

    I wonder how difficult that would be.... If I'm not mistaken the doors would remain the same for the most part but the back post would be cut and hinged in some form or fashion...
     
  13. For a cabriolet? You just build the channel into the roof. Clip both pillars off the doors.

    I wonder if the car came from Canada. I see Washington plates. Could be Ministry of DEFence. Followed by Ministry of INDian affairs or some other acronym.

    The top line is a trademark notice in Spanish: "Marca de Fábrica Mecánica Industrial Registrada", probably to facilitate export to Mexico (but all Plymouths of that era seem to have the same plate.)

    What do the PB, PD, and PF designate ? I'm a Ford Deuce freak. Thanks for the headsup.

    PB was the 1932 Plymouth. Last year for the four cylinder.

    p = Plymouth... the next letter was the code for front fender / hood / trim combination...

  24. Not that I know of, but you can figure it out, thiMk. ;)

    The last Cabri I worked on was a '34 Ford ( maybe it was a '33 LOL) with a Carson style top and all it had soft rubber door seal along the top of the window. But flexible window channel ( like you get from JC Whittney) attached to the top frame should be pretty easy too.

    Not quite. The PA was the 29 nd 30 four cylinder car with poured bearings and no counterweights. In 32 the PB had insert main bearings and a counterweighted crank. In 33 Plymouth came out with the PC which was a six cylinder engine that more or less lasted until '59. Soon Chrysler decided they needed a longer car to allow fender mounted spare tires. That was the PD. An up scale Plymouth.
