Are there any of these parts left? Looking for door hinges for my roadster. I have a 29 Plymouth.

Are there any parts left for this car?

Thanks Don...did I see at one time you had some for sale? Regardless, any leads would be appreciated! Ted

Hello, My 28 Plymouth had wood wheels which I changed to 20 inch wire wheels. You can use PA brake drums front and rear . Everything bolted together. How ever these parts are hard to find now. In early 29 Plymouth used a 20 " wheel but switched to 19" later in the year. Good Luck. Don

I am not sure, as I have the wood spoke wheels now. For '28 and '29, they would be 20" wheels.

Yes, I'd have to convert and find the drums. I've got wood wheels and one keeps giving me issues. It my be easier to re-spoke, but it still would have to find a set of wires. I've attached a couple pics of mine.

29 Ply wires are different than 30. 29 has exposed lug nuts and a hubcap that is crimped on at the factory, non removable. they are 20", and are lock ring type.
The very earliest 29 Desoto wire wheels used in 28, looked like the exact same wire wheel, but they were 19". Also I had one 19" Studebaker wheel that was the same as Desoto except the lock ring had a slightly different profile. So, be careful if buying wheels that "look" like 29 Plymouth wires
Also, if you are converting a wood wheel car to wire wheels, all four brake drums need to be changed to wire wheel drums.
.
Is this your car? Beautiful and thanks for the information. I know they'll be hard to find, but I will keep looking.

Looking for wire wheels for my '29 Plymouth Roadster.

Is the price still the same? I'm in Florida...also looking for wire wheels, etc. for my '29 U Roadster.

Tom Hannaford at Then and Now Auto in MA has them in bronze...bought one a few years ago for my '29U.

Looking for roadster top saddles and rests (?) for my '29 Plymouth U Roadster. If anyone has or knows of any, please let me know.

I apologize...I was looking at the motor that Keiser31 posted...it does look like a '29 motor along with the thin radiator shell. Maybe a '30U? I have a '29 Roadster as well.

It's not a '29...

Thanks, I'll get some photos posted as soon as I am able to.

I inquired there and POC as well. I'm sure someone with a car similar to mine belongs to the AACA, especially here in the Plymouth section.
-
I guess no owners out there or no one knows what's correct?

All:
I recently acquired a P20 Special Deluxe Club Coupe and would like to get everything correct under the hood, from correct heater hose clamps, wire routing, etc., etc. If you own one and it's a good representation, I'd love to see some photos. The more the merrier.
Thanks in advance...

Does this car have a water pump? I don't know (which is why I'm asking) but my '29 Plymouth (thermo-siphon) had an overheating problem and it was due to lack of water. Don't get me wrong, the radiator was full, but I went with a 70% water to 30% coolant ratio and that fixed it. I've read that these old systems need more water to operate properly. Again, this is on a thermo-siphon system.

A Model TT/A big truck puller might work. I bought one from a Model A site (Snyder's?) for my '29 Plymouth...looks similar to photo above.

I know this is a very old post, but do you still happen to have these wheels?
