The introduction of a lower-price line - Plymouth - to compete head-on with Ford and Chevrolet, helped Chrysler Corporation weather the Depression years of the early 1930s. By the time this 1941 model was made, Plymouth's standard power unit was a 201.3ci (3.3-litre) sidevalve six producing a maximum of 87bhp. The P12 Special Deluxe was Plymouth's top-of-the range series, boasting no fewer than nine different body styles for 1941. That same year a Plymouth sedan would claim its place in motoring history when it became the first car to be driven from Detroit, Michigan to the tip of South America, an often perilous journey of 15,745 miles that took eight months. Those pre-war Plymouths were certainly tough!
The vendor advises us that this Plymouth Special Deluxe Coupé is in highly original condition having covered 53,000 miles. Notable features include 'three-on-the-tree' column shift manual transmission and a very powerful horn that sounds like an ocean liner. It is believed (but not verified) that the car had one family owner from 1941 until it was imported into the UK in 2019. Undertaken by Jim Stokes Workshops Group, recent works have included overhauling the braking system (rebuilt brake cylinders and new shoes), changing the exhaust system and a general service in 2022. This delightful classic American is offered with the original handbook and a V5C Registration Certificate.
