  1. we made the license plate holder. thank you for your help.
  2. thank you very much for the picture. we know how to make a bracket like the one in the picture.
  3. we are finally going to put the 49 plymouth p17 on the road. our state requires a front license plate. we are not going to drill holes in a one year only ribbed bumper. we looked on line and see vintage cars velcro the license plate on. may we need to make a bracket that attaches from behind the bumper. what is your solution?
  4. would the windshield divider strip that holds the rear view mirror on a 1949 plymouth also fit a 1950 plymouth convertible?
  5. have you found an electric wiper motor to replace the vacuum wiper motor? our car is a 1949 p-17.
  6. what are you using for door and trunk seals? they need to be 1/2 inch thick.
  7. french lake auto didn't have a rear glass. we have been looking for 8 years. still looking. may have to use 1/4 inch plexiglass and a heatgun.
  8. thank you.we looked up the vehicle number. we just need to know if it is early or late 1949. french lake auto is asking for early or late to find us a rear window.
  9. how do you decode the vin on a 1949 plymouth?
  10. does anyone have a front windshield to make a paper template from a 1949 p17 windshield? the windshield was missing from the car when we bought it. we have a glass guy to cut glass for us.
  11. we drive a 1949 plymouth p17 2 door fastback with a 200 six and a small c-4. it just drives so nice and smooth. plenty of power and fits the engine compartment without cutting up anything. the steering is all stock. the engine is so light we has to use aerostar front coils with one coil cut off to get to sit level. it has a 1962 nova differential. we made the engine mounting brackets. you can watch the videos on you tube. classics rule is the channel.
  12. yes take the thermostat out. doesn't matter which heater hose, don't run the car with the vinegar mix, distilled white vinegar. a neat vinegar cleaning trick is to fill your kettle with 50/50 mix and let it sit for a few hours. it will look brand new inside.
  13. remove a heater hose and connect it to the garden hose and start the car. let it run till clear clean water comes out of the heater hose fitting and radiator drain. after its empty you can look with a flash light and decide if you want to refill it with vinegar for another week or if its clean refill with 50/50 antifreeze mix. we had to repeat it twice on one car. finally it was clean.
