Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending a Classic Car Show in Hicksville, Long Island, New York I came across this mint condition 1941 Plymouth Four Door Sedan with great looking white wall tires. I took several shots from various angles to see which photo would show off this class antique the best. This side view I believe did this car justice. Getting an opportunity to see the overall size of the car and the beautiful black paint job along with the running board connecting to both the front and rear over sized fenders. The open hood allowed me to see a great looking engine which had been steamed cleaned for the show and the size of the hood on this car. Finally a nice touch was the opera window in the rear of the car. For more information on this classic 1941 Plymouth please feel free to read the information below;
Plymouth for 1940 finally received the new body the other Chrysler lines had received the year earlier. When production began on August 1st, 1939, the majestic convertible sedan, the sporty rumble seat, and the drafty, side-curtained station wagon were all memories. The new body, mounted on the 117" wheelbase, was lower, wider, and longer than any Plymouth in past history.

The 1940 cars� wheelbase was stretched 3" across the board (the 1939 convertible sedan had been the only Plymouth built on a 117" chassis before 1940). In addition, the engineering department moved the engine 4" forward and then relocated the rear axle 7 1/2" aft, so the passenger compartment increased in size with the seats now cradled inside the suspension, rather than over it. The glass area in the new bodies was increased by 18 percent, with larger windshields, a narrower center windshield divider, larger quarter windows, and a larger one-piece rear window replacing last year�s two-piece window. The new backlight gave the driver an increase of 23 percent in viewing area. The windshield wipers, previously mounted above the windshield in the header panel, were relocated to the cowl. Interior space was up over 10 cubic feet from 1939 and trunk space increased to over 21 cubic feet.

Priced slightly higher than the '39 cars, the model lineup included the cheaper Roadking P9 series in a two door or four-door sedan, as well as a two-passenger coupe. The Deluxe P10 series offered a club coupe, a two-passenger business coupe, a convertible coupe, two-door and four-door sedans, a 7-passenger sedan, a limousine, and a station wagon. The Commercial Car line included a pickup (express) and a cab and chassis on the truck chassis, as well as a Utility Sedan and a panel (sedan) delivery on the Roadking chassis.

Changes for the 1940 Plymouth Although design of the 1940 models was a refined version of the 1939 ideas, nothing interchanged except the sailing ship hood ornament. Greatly adding to the looks of the car, the hood line was unbroken and the entire panel opened all the way from the prow of the nose to the cowl. P10 models had a chrome belt line molding running from the center of the car back to the deck lid while Roadking models had chrome trim only from the center of the car to a point about halfway back on the hood. With the advent of the new body for 1940 Plymouth dropped the rumble seat in the coupe and convertible body styles. The rumble seat had been around since the first cars in 1928 but it was a "make due" accommodation for extra passengers, always cold and drafty and with no protection from the elements during foul weather.

To offset the loss of this 2-4-passenger configuration, Plymouth engineers added a set of small, fold out-of-the way auxiliary seats to the rear of the coupe and called it the Club Coupe. The spare tire in the club coupe was moved from behind the passengers seat to a spot flat on the floor of the trunk. A regular two-passenger coupe was also marketed and both models sold well throughout the year. The convertible coupe, also, was fitted with the auxiliary seats.

The four door and two door sedans were offered pretty much as in years past with the four-door being the biggest seller in the line.
