Features 1946-1948 plymouths!! Lets see em!!

Here's my 47 convertible, in the UK.
It's running a 51 Dodge motor, with Fenton head, Sharp dual-carb intake, Fenton headers through dual pipes and a Dodge overdrive transmission.
The body is stock apart from the fender skirts with 41 Buick trims, 39 Plymouth hubcaps and blue-dot tail lamp lenses.
I love it!

 

Here's my 1947 Special Deluxe Club Coupe

 

My 48 Plymouth business coupe was a rust bucket. Its currently sitting on a 90 Dakota frame. The car is basically a Dakota with the 48 body shell dropped on it. Its still in progress. The final vision is to be a street version of a mid 60s dirt track racer like they raced here locally back then. Gene

 

Robin (UK), your car is beautiful!

 

50 Dodge4x4, nice truck pullin the trailer.

 

My 48 Special Deluxe Sedan - Still has the original flat six ( runs great) I haven't jumped to far into it yet but the plan is to get started in the next few weeks. Been bus working on my dads 51 Mercury

 

FWIW, to my eye the post-war Plymouths are handsome cars when they aren't heavily modified (body wise) and all or most of the trim is retained. Seem to not take well to customizing and that wide, flat roof generally does not look ''right'' when chopped. But hey, that's probably just me.

 

Got to agree whole heartedly...

 

I love the way they look unchoped as well. But when done right they can look killer. I have the new rear-end in with skirts and visor now. Baby steps but still moving forward.

 

My fathers 48!

 

had mine since 1970, engine swapped to a 56 230 with dual carbs and some other stuff.

 

Here is a couple shots of my friend Don's '48 Plymouth Coupe.

 

That 48 is awesome. That is the biz coupe not club coupe? Don't see very many of those around. Nice!

 

Any more 46-48 models.

 

My avatar pic is the best I can do....

Pretty much stock except for the road rash, primer spots and Harley decal in the rear window...

 

Very nice!

 

Car has a nice stance!

 

I'll throw mine in...
Here she is the day I picked her up in NYC

I,m 60 my first intro to hod roddin my bro ,s 46 special delux coupe, crys spit, long leg crank way over over bored truck trans split exhaust ,I was 6 or seven primer cause they didnt have alot of dough car left a impression to this day I,m a lifelong mopar guy those cars were just too cool and the attitude...................well way before rat rods

 

Oh my bro went nuts on Medors coupe in 83 I did a photo shoot with him in okc and some of the "dukes" what a expereance that was a whole nother story but my bro knew the car before gary even opened the hood ..........he could tell by the sound!!

 

40's cars are cool-art deco on wheels.

 

I've seen that car at a lot of the local cruises over the years and I almost always stop and stare at it for a while - it is just so damn nice!

 

There is a yellow convert very similar to to the one above in Fresno or Clovis CA. I wish i had a picture to post. Any guys from central valley "Fresno" area no the car?

 

Nice car. How did you get it to sit so low for being stock. I'd like to drop my 48 down a couple more inches.

 

Finally, a site I've been hoping for. I felt like an orphan owning a 48 Plymouth. Most people just walk past it at car shows because its not a ford or chevy. We put the same love and hard work in our Plymouths, also. Thanks, for showing your Plymouths.

 

Your coupe is sweet Dons48. I to feel the same way you do however, i do see a lot more late 40s plymouths around at shows lately. To lower the front i cut 2 spins out of the coil spring and used 4in lowering blocks in back. I had to make them do to the leaf spring only 2in wide. 2x4 1/4in iron will do the trick. Here is side shot of the car.

 

Here's my Ruby! She's a lovely old gal.

 

That one it bad ass. Looks great with that satin black.
