keiser31 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Went to the diner today to find this really nice 1946 to 1949 1st series club coupe. It was pretty sweet.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That is a lovely looking car. Do you think it is original or restored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Smolinski Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Keiser, It would appear from your posts that you just bomb around all day lookin' for cool old stuff to snap photos of & post here. Keep 'em coming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel88 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I am out every day walking my dog, who loves to go for long walks. I never see any interesting old cars like you do. That Plymouth coupe is really nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the aftermarket rubber around the wind wing window, I am pretty certain it is restored. I think the metal alongside the rubber seal should be painted black.

wldavis Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Very nice Plymouth, John. Thanks for the photos. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I go for restored as well. with the front bumper worn a bit from years of polishing and the gleaming paint with fresh, I don't think quite right upholstery (I don't think they had red guts in 46-49 on the coupe except maybe on the side panels, gray would have been most likely or tan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I just saw a 48 Plymouth coupe for the first time at a local cruise. If he comes back I'll add a few pics to the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Those are one of the best buys out there. If a person was wanting to drive a classic/collector car. Nice styling, low buy in price, 46-48 Plymouth coupes can be found in good condition around here, and parts are still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 There is actually some reproduction available for them as well. Even the NOS stuff isn't too crazy except the rocker moldings and conv't /woody wiper towers. I think i paid $30 for an NOS horn ring. The whole grille is stainless steel. Someone is making that hood ornament insert. The trick is finding a good base. They do drive really well. I drove mine every nice day. I would have another, but I kind of like to get a different type of car after I have had one. I would rather have had several types of cars to experience than a barn full of all the same cars in a different color. Though if you were talking about Duesenbergs I might make an exception;) as they were all pretty much different being coach built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em coming. When I was there a couple of weeks ago, we walked to his diner and it happened. An old but bright green and chrome COE shorty rolled up, stopped at the light, and turned down the street. As I was gawking, Keiser was snapping away. Even in a target rich environment, fate favors the prepared man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 That is a nice COE, but I would think that those tall stacks would be in the way all the time. Maybe he tows a tall fifth wheel trailer or the likes. The wrench for a bumper could be a hitch cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Minor correction, 46-48. The 49-50 don't have the built in running boards. Looks like a really nice car. Those plymouths really don't bring any money for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... that the tall pipes were needed for possibly hauling a tall trailer. I have seen kids and their diesel PU's with an amazing array of goofy looking pipes..... I guess I'm over the hill and out of touch with a lot of things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner, a bricklayer restored it at home over a period of years. Beautiful job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
