Yes they are....... but like Golf and classic cars........ there’s that one perfect shot, that one fall drive through the mountains..........that summer night with friends and family that was perfect and the boat was running great, and you tell yourself “it is worth it”. logical......probably not. But I frequently spend time, money, effort on the ridiculous. 20 years ago I sold my wife on the idea of summer lake cottage as “relaxing, reading a book, tranquil cruises, drinking sweet tea while not having a care in the world “ for every hour of that, there is nine hours of yard work, painting, fixing boats, fixing lifts, killing wasps in boat house,.........” it’s a lot like having 100 year old cars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optioned out with the fender marker lights, dual trumpets and, if I am seeing them correctly, some sort of visor over the headlights. Obviously new at the time with the 1933 California plate but I have never seen that type of fender mounted light on North American cars of that era. The had something like that on the equivalent 1933 Chrysler Kew 6 in England, but not so far as I am aware in the US. Also am I seeing the headlights correctly? I associate aftermarket visors on headlights with a later era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Although the Plymouth was new in Ca. with plates from that state was it possibly destined to go overseas , to a location that was also like England where fenders had to have marker lights?
