I believe it to be a Philco CT11. They seem hard to come by, but they are pretty cool, would be fun at car shows.

Awesome car! Of course, I am partial because I also have a 36 Plymouth! The car is stored at my fathers, so I may be slow to get them but if you need pics of anything let me know. I will try to help out. I would love to see your dash panel. Im looking for pictures of dealer installed clocks or radio's for our cars. Not many out there. Cheers.

Can you adapt a top from a 36 Dodge 4 dr sedan to a 36 Ply?
I would like to keep the soft top look, thank you. Perhaps I can adapt a 35 Plymouth setup to fit.

Fantastic! Thank you, you must be a better googler than me. I realize they are dealer items, were the clocks brand specific...or generic items you would find in 36 Chevy dealer as well?

Im looking for pictures of the radio and clock options for a P2. I see three different clock options mentioned (one regular clock and 30hr or 8 day mirror clocks), but cannot seem to find a picture of what any of them actually looked like. The problem is that everyone wants to list their radio or clock as being for a "30's" hot rod, so I am having a hard time wading through what is real and what is someone's marketing ploy. I also cannot seem to find where the should go other than the radio control head goes in place of the ash tray (that turned up in a search here).
Thanks again for any help!

Is this car a coupe? I do think that even the Plymouth sedans in '36 had steel tops but I could be wrong. In any case, the soft top is made from short-long grain top material with a rubber seal around the perimeter. Restoration Specialties in PA sells the correct top material and the correct seal by the foot. Soft tops do use a cotton padding over a chicken wire frame. Their phone no. is 814-467-9842 and hrs are 9:00 am-5:00 pm EST. PS, If you have any trouble with your front window channels I can rebuild them for you.
It is a sedan and I believe 36 was the last year for soft tops for Plymouth. Thanks for the tip, I will check them out. The problem I have run into so far is that everyone tells me the 36 uses a different weatherstrip channel and no one seems to sell the correct rubber, but they have it up to 35.

Duh....sorry i forgot that the '36 Dodge had the first steel insert. Color me stupid.
Your suggestion was actually the first thing I tried and how I learned that the dodge was different from the Plymouth! Im still have a lot to learn about these cars!

THanks for the response. I did try a search, but it appears the Dodge and Plymouth are not compatible.

Hello everyone, Im new to the forum and appreciate the wealth of information here. Im a Corvette guy at heart (if the name didn't give it away). I recently inherited a 36 Plymouth that belonged to my grandfather. Now I have been around old cars most of my life, so I am not completely clueless, but this is the oldest car I have ever really worked on or had much involvement besides admiring.
The top is badly rotten and part of it ripped away during transport down to Florida. Can anyone tell me where I can find replacement material and weatherstripping? An email to Andy Berbaums tells me that they don't have it and the 36 is not the same as the earlier cars and I will just have to "make something work". I cant believe they make the weather strip for cars up to 35 but not a 36...someone out there has to have it! Im not overly concerned with being "correct" as grandpa was more concerned with keeping them driving (he had the 36 and a 47). Any info on fabric or weather stripping would be greatly appreciated. THank you!

I need a top on my 36 as well and am still searching for the correct seal (The 36 is different from earlier Plymouths and different from the dodge as well). Jury is still out on restoration specialties, he hasn't gotten back to me yet. But it is not listed on his site. If you find a good source or just find something that works, please let us know (with a part # preferably). As you can tell, parts can be a challenge to source for these cars.
