cruisin66 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I have a 38 Plymouth that needs new rear motor mounts. It has a P20 engine which is a 1950. My question is will the 39-56 style rear motor mounts work with this car or do I need the 1938 style, which was a 1 year style? the price difference between the 39-56 style and the 38 style is $50 vs $230 Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpollo Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Then, although they are not identical, they are similar up to 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Reddie Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hello and welcome. Can you post some pictures of your '38 Plymouth? Thanks. John R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Reddie Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Thanks for the photo. Really nice '38 for sure. I see that it is a later model '38 due to the headlight placement. The early '38's had the headlights mounted slightly higher and further forward. You can see the difference in the attached photo.

cruisin66 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks for sharing your photo as well, it’s a nice looking car. Seems to be the same color as a friend of mines P-6 Business Coupe. I was a founding member of the Heart of America Plymouth Club in Kansas City. We started off with 8 members and three us us had 38’s. A rumble seat P-6 Coupe, a P-6 Business Coupe, and my P-5 2dr. With 38 being such an off production year we though it quite unusual to have three 38’s. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
