Very cool car, I hope it goes to a good home.
Whoa, looks like a lot of fun!
Sorry to hear of the passing of Jerry Brophy, on Thurs Jan 29. He was the "Mayor" of LeadEast, RIP.
I'm glad to see this thread is still going, I can't get enuff of the old taildraggers.
You might want to check with the boys over at the MOPAR forum, P-15-D-25.com.

Great pics, thanks for posting.
It looks like Pierce, Nebraska (official of population 1,800) is finally on the map, big time. So when is someone going to make a tag topper that...
To clarify; the motor is a '55 Dodge 230 with 8 bolt pattern on the crank. I'm using the '55 starter that came on the engine. I drilled the...
I'm having starter issues in my '39 Ply; '55 Dodge 230 engine/starter using the original 146 tooth flywheel, drilled to bolt up to the Dodge...
Mike, congrats on the win for your Vette, well done!
Al, also nice to get a chance to talk about those 6-in-a-row engines, tho mine are MOPAR flat 6s. I had my '46 Ply there, will bring my '39 (my...
Will be there for sure.
Jim, you missed a great show this year. The crowds at LE appeared to be down just a bit, likely to the very iffy weather. The rain threatened all...
Maybe you should start with "in the the fenders or not".
Anyway, the first things I see on a SBC is manifold/carb set-up and heads. Generally the heads are the giveaway. Late 350 heads and 265/283/327...
X3 on this. I grew up in Northern NJ, 20 miles from NYC. In the '50s and early '60s the cool look was black rims, white walls and baby moons. The...

Nice find, and it looks like all that hard-to-find (and expensive) trim is all there. Good luck with the old girl. Yippee, another Plymouth!!!!
Post a pic. I have the original 3 speed with floor shifter in my '39 Ply (see my avatar). The trans he's looking for should be just like mine. And...
I'm sure you'll find an answer by going to the Plymouth / Dodge forum and ask there; wwwp15-d24.com.
Very interesting looking car, tho it does have an odd look. It looks like the grille was an afterthought, not as nice as the 46-48's. I'm a MOPAR...
One more time; "Why don't you call Tom and ask him what he thinks? 586-739-9601" <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
