one-shot Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I purchased this car Monday, I've never seen a Plymouth ship emblem like the one top center of the trunk. It has a few issues, but so do I and I'm younger. he claims the radio still works.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I believe that the emblem on the trunk is incorrect for that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-shot Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Seems to be all original, with less than 50,000 miles. That includes all the oil and grease leaks. Missing the hood bars for holding open the hood. Front bumper has a Third Chrome center piece that blocks the crank hole. Cover is there. Goal is to have on road by Fathers day. Don't need three, so the other 4 door will go. My other 4 door looks exactly like that in the rear. 1937 was a mixed year for Plymouth, Some rear leaf springs open, some wrapped, later ones had recessed dash knobs. Factory radio was the icing.

keiser31 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The trunk emblem is from a 1938. Maybe it was an early changeover trim item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Don't know about this Plymouth, but the crank hole cover seems to be an elusive piece on these cars.I lost the one on my 36 Dodge when I went over some RR tracks. Several years later when I found a replacement I wired it on permanently. The original clip was not trustworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-shot Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Vin is 10428717. Close to the end of production for Detroit. Driven 105 miles in the last 20 years by the title. As noted by several others there are/seems to be, crossovers into 38. For those of you that haven't written a book yet. I'm keeping a copy of comments, so the next person has your knowledge.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've noticed a difference in trunk handles as well for '37s. I never thought much about, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-shot Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Radio works. Cigarette lighter too. I removed 10 gallons of tar with gas mixed in. Trunk emblem was an add on. Holes don't match up. My other one (4 DR) may become a hanger queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-shot Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 First of many problems I'm sure. I pulled the tank ( rusted out on top from wet dirt) and broke one of the straps. They appear to be a single piece, that rides on a pin in the back (trunk area) and converts to a stud/nut on the cross member. I have two new straps that are the surround type and a new gas tank. Am I forced to look for the other type/fabricate or is this an easy conversion. Been raining/cold, will take pics end of week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Henry White Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have both styles of those emblems in nos. I seem to recall finding the oval shaped one listed in one of my Mopar books, showing it as 1937. I am unsure of application on several other winged nos Plymouth emblems I have of the mid 30's. Right now I cant find one to check casting number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
