as you make discoveries or learn facts pertaining to your newly required model, I am not sure about you, but I start a notebook of all my cars and list these for future reference.   With the introduction of different wheelbases vehicles in 49 so was the model designator reflecting the chassis...this was true in 1950 and 51/52.  As the chassis went back to a single wheelbase in 1953 there was a single designation and engine number....in 1954 it got a bit confusing though still as single wheel base and single engine designation matching the chassis number, the introduction of the larger engine mid year got a special diamond prefix to the P25 engine designation for the 54 model year to denote the larger displacements, this was a one year only the Plymouth had flathead six in two displacements. 

yes i have started a note book and a reciept folder thank you for the info on tge door guide now i am trying to figure out what goes in these fire wall holes beside the heater box

Those ribbed bumpers are 49 only issue.  They were in such demand by rodders and custom guys it is actually pretty rare for them to be left on the original car.  So I also support second series 1949.  P15 body style bizzy coupes were assembled till late March 1949.  Second series 49's started assembly shortly thereafter.

most antennae were mounted to the preference of the dealership/shop doing the install....on the cowl, there was no need to run it between the fender and the cowl..often a dirty place to work if car was first put on the road before install and of course would need to be weather sealed at this panel also...

Hempster,

I'll be adding some pictures downloaded from my phone shortly. If you need any detailed specific pictures please do not hesitate to ask and i'll take pictures of what you need on what I have. The car is mostly stock from what I see and have experienced but I have changed  a few things...i.e. stereo, speakers, center console, fuse box, plug wires, carb ect. I'll add that to an individual forum later.
