Skrambler

41 Plymouth plastic sill moldings, for certain. They should also have four mounting tabs on reverse side.

Merry CHRISTmas.

I am fortunate to own a 41 Plymouth that has been in my family since new. Ice cream bags, old driving gloves, maps and so fourth are still as they were placed may decades ago. There is a jack and wooden caulk for under the tire. Also, the tire from wheel removal tool all of which I have to assume are original to this car. It is a bumper jack that ratchets up and down. 30 plus years ago I actually had a blow-out in the left rear tire and had to use the jack. Worked as well as to be expected, even though I used EXTREME caution. Got the flat tire off, no problems and went to put the spare tire on only to find that I could not jack the car up high enough to get the pressurized tire on!!! So, just some food for thought if you choose to purchase a ratcheting style replacement for your car. I would attach photos of the jack, nut I am not close to where the car is stored. Sorry.

Woo Hoo!!! Lee! you hit it out of the park!!! YES! that is precisely what I was looking for! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Rich. As I attempted to address above "I am away from". Yes, I do know how and where to take these measurements, but I am 2000 miles away from where the car AND my Data Book is. There IS a specific page in the Ross Roy, 1941 Plymouth Data Book that illustrates ALL of the needed, and other dimensions that do not concern my current needs. Again, if someone has this book and a moment to list a photo of this page to this forum I would be grateful. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply TodRitch. One down, two questions to go! I know that the Ross Roy Data Book has the additional answers. Just need to find someone that has it!

Hi All. I am away from where I have my Plymouth information, so I am shouting out for help on dimensions on a 1941 Plymouth Coupe, and or Sedan. I am looking for the following measurements. I know that there is a illustration in this book that shows the following. (a photo of that page would be wonderful). I need the total length (from front center bumper guard to rear center bumper guard). The width of the car, at it's widest point. The height of the car in it's highest point. SO MANY thank yous, in advance for help with this!!!

As stated when I sold it to you, it is electronic tuning. The face indicator does NOT change when the pre-sets are used. If you want a copy of the service manual I will provide that as previously mentioned.

Yes Sir! I believe you are correct. But all of my resource books do NOT have those 7 digit numbers, 95% are only 6 digit numbers. Possibly someone will answer with this information.

Thank you all for your replies and photos! I suppose a question still bugs me. I am adding turn signals, for safety sake on a 41 Plymouth project. Question is would this indicator part and the explained assembly have been a "factory option" in 1941? If this "fits" really is not the question, as it looks pretty much identical to the high beam only indicator. If this assembly was NOT a pre-war option, I will be going another direction with this particular build. Thanks again all.

I did as must research as possible on this little NOS "indicator", but still coming up empty. Most of my MoPar books are older and follow the six digit numbers. This looks exactly like the part that helps hold the speedometer assembly in my 41 Plymouths, and I have seen them on the P-15's as well. Only difference is that the ones I am used to seeing indicate "High Beam" not "Directional". I have heard of this being a factory option on those cars, but never actually saw one installed! Part number is 1163939 in case it is not readable in photos. Thanks folks.

I will miss Wayne. I have had the pleasure of buying and selling cars, and so many parts with him since 2001. I have been to his home, and he to mine many times over the years. I also had an open invite to his Hotel rooms that he had at the Hershey AACA meet. Back in 2000, those rooms and ANY Hotel rooms were still VERY hard to find. I did not miss a meet till 2019 and have yet to return. My prayers go out to his family.

Thank you, andyd for your reply. It helped my decision greatly!

Has anyone attempted to fit a 46-48 Plymouth dashboard into a 1941 Plymouth P-12? Is there a drastic size difference? Obviously, the gauges and such will be different, I simply am asking if the "bones" are the same, or even close. Thank you!

With the date changes, I also expect to see venue changes in the very near future. At the very least, a combination of the Carlisle and Hershey show. I used to live 3.5 hours West of Hershey and was blessed to be able to visit the event for 19 consecutive years. It has been 6 years since I have been there, and, I knew when I was walking to my car that it would be the last. Sad, it used to really be a fun show. Nothing in the world like slipping down the muddy hill on the once named White Field! LOL! Oh the good ol' days!

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I personally feel Hershey will be a bust as well. Costs for Vendors and Spectators has gone out the window. PA. Turnpike tolls are the most expensive in the Nation, and will continue to out pace toll roads in the future as well. Hotels! Ha, forget it! How about a Hershey Swap Meet Site? Would be a great way to hook up vendors with buyers under certain categories. Communication, even here as to what we all have stashed away, and know we will NEVER use but someone else is dying to get their hands on would start the MoPar "Hershey Row". Heaven only knows I am way guilty of what must say is hoarding pre-war Plymouth items! My two cents worth...

Thanks All! I believe Bob and Ed have provided enough info that I can make a better choice. Thank you for sharing your time.

Bob. Thank you for the photos, beautiful dashboards by-the-way! I can only imagine what the rest of the cars look like! Additional questions. Is the MoPar model #600 radio the only radio to come stock with the 1940 models? Also, will the original radio "housing" like in your first photo accept any other MoPar model radios? (like the #800 or #802)? Thank you.

Asking to see if anyone has a photo of an original radio mounted in the dash of a 1940 Plymouth? Thanks in advance!

Just as an added note, Jay Fishers mirrors did have his name, and or initials casted into the base, between the mounting studs. Why one would need to know this, I have no idea! Just a fun fact I suppose...

Agreed! When Jay Fisher passed, so did quality reproduction swan necks. In 1990 I purchased a set of his mirrors for my 41 Plymouth for $650.00. To this day they still look perfect. A man of few words (but his wife made up for him LOL!).

This was a special appearance for the Executive Sweet, which has flown into Sedona five times, previ­ously, during Sedona Airport Day. This year is the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the B-25J model earned fame as the bomber used in the Doolittle Raid, the mission to bomb Tokyo four months after the Pearl Harbor attack. Executive Sweet is the same model, but this particular plane flew stateside missions during the war. Al Comello, the local liaison for the B-25J visit, also said this year would likely be Executive Sweet’s last appearance in Sedona. The Camarillo, Calif., nonprofit that keeps the bomber in flying condition plans to donate it to an air museum in Florida in 2022. I was able to get my original, 1941 Coupe onto the airfield for a once in a lifetime photo! There also was a Car Show area, and I made certain that folks remember this very special anniversary that is coming up soon.

Originally, the spare tire was just "out there". No cover what-so-ever. That is if we are talking about both two and four door sedans.

Just keep in mind that this is for ONLY the MAT. This will not covet the rear wheel arches and is not the correct fabric pattern, if that makes any difference to you.

Hoarding? No... Far from it. With a half a dozen P-15 clocks over 33+ years, that is only coming across finding one every five or six years! Many foot miles, and far to many traveling miles to consider this a hoard. If someone is truly interested I might consider a sale. Till then they are badges from YEARS of hunting. Clocks of many styles automotive and otherwise have always attracted me. The way they were made during the time they were made is perplexing to me. History is of a time, and clocks are a time in history.
