Mark D Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Picture attached is of my wife's great grandfather. He was a one of the first Finns in her family to officially receive a massachusetts issued driving license. He owned several business coupes in his life and I am wondering if the car in this photo is a dodge? My wife's great aunt told us before she passed that he had driven the dodge coupe to Washington state to visit her in the early 40's when they had relocated to work for in the airframe industry out there. I never met Matti, but I feel this photo speaks loudly about him. We named our son Matthew after both great grandfathers as it happens my great grandfather was also named Matthew. However Matti is our preference for everyday use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkingcoupe Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 1941 Plymouth P12 looks like a 1941 Plymouth P12 Since there is so little to go by from the picture The ivory colored rectangular trim (with the red vertical stripes) on the door (inside garnish molding deducing that this is the only car I know with that exact trim 1941 Plymouth P12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I figured someone would recognize the window garnish. The only thing familiar to me is the vent window and shape of the window trim on the roll up portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkingcoupe Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 The same vent window was used on ALL Plymouth's 1940 - 1949 (first series). The garnish molding medallion with 2 groups of three red stripes was used on the P12 trimmed cars got any more pictures? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andydodge Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 That inside window molding was not used on all 1941 cars, I think only P12/Special Delux's got them.......my old P11 certainly didn't..............andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Bingo! First batch of photos I went through. Probably the same car he was driving in the first I age. Also a couple others that were good enough to share. Seems to be a 40's chrysler sedan in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
