according to production numbers your car was 6,689 units from the end of production.

Hey Bob, congrats on the purchase. Glad to see another p15 in The UK, you’re in good company and should get in touch with Robin Weathersbee if you haven’t. He’s got a great event coming up which gathers the p15’s over there for a fun day of pictures and touring. I am curious about the serial number on your car. I too have a ‘49 sedan and have been searching others to see if anyone has a serial number newer than mine. My car was 4,030 units from the end of production according to production records. As to your question about the carb, can you confirm that it is a Carter D6G2? cheers mark

The rebuild kits from Daytona have everything you need. Suggest you oil up the gaskets before installing as it will expand them slightly for a better seal.

On my bucket list fir next year. Great pics, been following some of my friends on Facebook having gun there also. ????

great idea! We’ll plan a video call one evening to bring you guys in virtually.

We are very frustrated too.

Sad to see the news Phil. We really had hoped to see lots of our Canadian friends with us. stay tuned for more info about next year, it’s already in the works.

One of the first projects I had completed when I bought my sedan was a swap to headers and duals. Initially I used a set of 24” smithy’s but quickly grew to dislike the constant drone inside the cabin. Swapped them for a pair of thrush mufflers, still has the braap at take off but zero drone.

Better ask Grangpa for the keys to the Plymouth and get your registration form down to the post office ASAP, just forty days to go before the picnic!

Congratulations on the new ride! I see that you’re in central New York, how about you joining us for the p15 picnic in Canadaigua on 9/15-18! We would love to have you, and you would be the oldest car present.

Here’s a guess, maybe somebody tried to put an exhaust whistle under the hood? When they sold the car they removed the whistle and installed the cap.

Just 58 days until the P15 picnic! We've got a dozen cars registered coming from NY, CT, PA, MA, NH (& Ontario if the border the US and CA can figure things out. A few more folks in the area have indicated they will be day trippers joining us on Friday night or Saturday.

Mark Aubuchon... didn't this happen to you?

I rarely contribute on the side of the forum, some of you may have seen me in the P 15 section. My sedan and my convertible are really my passion, these cars got me into creating a business with a close friend in Holland. Since 2015 I have been sourcing cars and parts for lots of Mopar lovers in the United Kingdom, Holland, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland. The business has grown slowly and we are proud of what we’ve accomplished. But I digress, the reason for this post is to just memorialize my latest find. Sitting here in the garage is this recently restored 1950 Panel Van. It’s in amazing condition, and a truck that I would have never thought I’d be able to find. The prior owner did a great job pulling it all apart and putting it back together. But in the next two days it will be get its journey to our garage in Rotterdam , from there it will surely find a new owner very quickly. This truck started life as a civil defense vehicle in Pennsylvania call mom it was them bought by a butcher shop in Littlestown PA. From there it went to sit for many years in New Jersey, and then brought here to Massachusetts. I know I’m gonna regret selling this one. post script, two days earlier we bought a 1951 B1B half ton in Sacramento, and that one is now on its way to Holland also.

I’ve got a catalog binder with every Carter made up to the early 60’s. As you can see it’s 3” thick. There’s no composite listing but they are sorted by application (which motor it was used on). Something specific you’re after? Drop me an email and I can look it up. mark@rdusaclassics.com

Well I drove down Friday evening from Massachusetts and stayed at the Fairfield inn. Got myself at beer and burger at the Red Robin and hit the sack early. Saturday morning I was on the field at 6:50, prepaid for admission and parking $30 which I didn’t think was too bad. Brought my two wheeler as well as a back pack but set out for my field tour with just the back pack. I walked 16,400 steps up and covered the entire field. My observations being that this was my first visit: - firstly, too many harbor freight style vendors on the field. Honestly, how many sanding pads, and vice grips are really sold at these shows. The set up and tear down time for some of those guys has to take a week. - old cars swap meets are not the place for grannies to sell crocheted toaster covers. - why would you bring yard sale crap to an old car swap meet? - a word about prices... most of what seemed worth looking at was way over inflated and I blame this on American pickers. An old North Carolina folding road map caught my eye, the seller would not budge from his $20 asking price. I moved on and I bet he went home with his map. - all was not awful though, there was lots of old iron. Lots of old parts, and a large variety. - many of the cars for sale where decent and well kept. But I wasn’t really looking to buy despite having some small expectation of coming away with a deal. - complete lack of masks anywhere. I also wore mine with maybe 5% others in the crowd. - the pretzel I bought for $5 was well worth it. - sorry I didn’t get to see you Rich. I’ll probably go again... cheers, mark

Hey if you’re willing and able, we’d love to have you and the car along for our p15 picnic in the fall. email me for details: mark@rdusaclassics.com

Whereabouts in Mass? Lecompte auto and truck in Clinton can do most anything. Tell Kevin the owner Mark Duggan recommended him.

Hey Rich, 6 hours drive. Buddy and I will come most of the way Friday and find a room for the night. Drive the final hour in the morning. Will make sure I find you to say hello.

Yep, at this point it appears I’ll be down for Saturday.

1942 is really low production year. And yes, Business coupes are pretty rare. Personally I like original stuff, my vote would be to do your best to restore it and enjoy it.

I have the sales brochure for the 46-48 interior options. Trim color on the window was not an option selectable buy the buyer, however there are at least two variants for the sapele pattern that came from the factory, and of course Convertibles and Station Wagons had welded dashes, so they got painted body color. drop me an email if you want to see the brochure, and I will respond with pics. mark@rdusaclassics.com
