1937 Plymouth Model P4

1937 Plymouth Deluxe P4 Business Coupe For consignment, a 1937 P4 Deluxe business coupe with 36,733 non actual mileage shown. While not concours level on the inside or out, it is clean, straight, and usable! And in the past two years, its received a lot of love and its close to original condition and fantastic exterior profile awaits the next steward. Exterior A 30s art deco styled oval grille with vertical ribs leads the way and is flanked by a single bullet style headlight on either side. The triple sail Mayflower hood ornament is on top of the rounded over hood, and like much of the metalwork on the exterior, could benefit from restoration. A simple curved bumper is below in chrome and has rabbit ears for some extra bling on either side of it. Wide white wall tires are within the framing of the front and rear fenders connected by a running board. Round cornered glass is housed in the doors and the rear quarter window is small, fixed, and in the shape of a Reuleaux triangle. For the rear of the car, an oval rear glass is in the middle of the B pillars which gracefully descend into the trunk line which keeps the gentle downward motion sloping to the bottom of the rear bumper, which has a nice shine to it. Rounded tail lights are perched on the body outcropping flanking a huge trunk lid characteristic of a business coupe. Imperfections include the pitted metal, cracks in the paint, fixed chipped areas, scratches, scuffs, and peeling material from above the running board. Interior A swing of the doors and we see mocha mohair covering the door panel uppers and some faux leather/vinyl on the lowers. In front, a split back bench sits in a tub which is all covered in that mocha colored mohair, showing some patina but overall remains very nice, and is believed to be original. In back a package shelf in the same mohair, topping a vinyl curtain that allows access to the trunk for quick retrieval of goods before the homemaker changes her mind about purchasing your vacuum cleaner! Newer black rubber floors are in the entire cabin. In front a simple full metal jacket dash painted in brown has some thinner chromed trimmings, rounded gauges neat art deco two tone styling, and a center panel with more round pulls and knobs and Mayflower etched badge in its center. The boat also adorns the nicely patinad steering wheel and all surfaces for the interior metal have a wonderful matte sheen on them. The shifter rises from the floor thats covered with a rubber mat and the big trunk goes on for days with a gray carpeted floor. Drivetrain Under the cowled hood after being given a lift we are treated to a driver quality 201.3ci L headed inline 6 cylinder mill which has blue paint on it. It sports a rebuilt 1-barrel carburetor and a factory original 3-speed manual transmission. In back is a 4.11 gear pumpkin. A little bit of dust, a little bit of rust, and some paint peel off are on this engine bay but all is in fairly good condition and drum brakes are found front and rear with new brake cylinders and shoes, along with a rebuilt master cylinder. Theres also a new fuel pump on board and a steel fuel line from the gas tank to the carburetor. We note that the heater core has been bypassed. Undercarriage Looking all nice and black with some areas of typical surface rust and oil noted on pan, transmission, and rear diff. An X frame and stamped floor pans are looking solid, and the glasspack style single exhaust runs from front to rear. Independent coil sprung front suspension is on, and in back some leaf springs. Drive-Ability Once the mini-vans of the 1930s, business coupes today are acknowledged for their classic, recognizable shape and cargo hull sized trunks. From the front seat forward, not much varies in terms of size and 30s feel, but as a two seater, its just a bit sportier. Our car performed nicely on the test loop, had decent braking with its new components, and steering was easy with the large bakelite black steering wheel to pull around on. The seats are cush, and a recent tune and fuel system work has paid off as it, and everything else, functions as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Classic lines and great bones make this a candidate for further restoration, but if not, youll have a very cool driver that could easily be shown as is. Fill the trunk with vintage 30s household goods and youve got a true to life display to help onlookers understand the role these cars played in our industrious communities coming out of a depression. Whether for show, or simply go, this uncommon Plymouth will likely make its next owner a happy hobbyist!
