Andyd, Drop me a line on a private message and I'll forward you photos and information. I have troubles posting on this site, as well as others:( Thanks.

Yes, nothing to compair with. I am guessing that the previous owner tossed them with intentions of adding a newer style. Thanks for your reply though!

Hi All, I have a question that a buddy of mine wanted me to post since he is never on a computer. Before he buys a front, and a rear seat assembly from a 1948 Plymouth 4 door sedan, and attempts to install these units in a 1941 Plymouth, 4 door sedan, he would like to know what challenges this may incure. Will these seats be an easy replacement? Or, will this be something that he should simply stay away from all together? He will be able to pick-up the P-15 seats, locally to him, so shipping will not be involved, and the seats are not in too bad of shape. They do not have mice running out of them! I appreciate any opinions.

Looks like 41 Chrysler to me!

You can switch the whole dash from one to the other, but the "cut outs" on a bare dash are quite different. I saw a P-15 dash installed in a P-12 Woodie. I do not know if the owner even knew that it had been changed, but it fit well.

FYI, These parts are now sold. Thank you.

Tom, I have a set of NOS salesmans samples. I have had these pieces in my collection for close to twenty years. The tags say, Bridgeport Fabrics Style 82-L-405 Part Number 982283 Bridco 1305 Color 4009 M-O P-14-C P-15-C Codes 141-822 Date 2-22-46 These parts are PERFECT! Drop me a line if interested. I am going to attempt to attach a photo. Sometimes my computer gets a little testie, so bare with me if they do not attach, or , I can try to send them directly to you.

In the case you have no luck, drop me a line. I have several stock rads from running P-15's in my garage. Just a thought.

Talked to a fellow that had two P-15 clocks at Hershey on Wednesday. He was asking $225.00 for either one of them. I'm pretty sure that they will sell over the time of the event. As I wondered around the fairgrounds, I found a second fellow with a clock. He wanted a bit less, so, I bit. Now, this makes quite a few more than I will ever need in my collection, so if you want it, it can be your's for less than the $225.00 that the other fellow was asking. Drop me an email if interested. Needs cleaned up a bit, but it has the light and original wiring minus the fuse.

See if a magnet attracts it. If it does, it's not stainless.

I am not certain if this subject has crossed this forum before. But if it has, kindly point me to the listings. Question is pretty simple. Do you "store" a car, any car, for extended periods of time with a "FULL" tank of gas, or, is this a no, no, and should be stored "EMPTY". Lengh of time is around 3 to 5 months without driving. Also, this is for cars with metal, original tanks, not plastic or such. I do appreciate that a fuel stabilizer should be used. I also know that at today's prices, this may not always be an option!!! Would like to hear about what you members do with your own cars, and the reasons for doing what you do. I realize that this may be simply one of those questions that has no right, or wrong answer, but looking to see how you all "store" your cars. Thank you for your input and two cents worth!

Dodgepu1946, thanks for your input! A correct P-10 motor and all would be fantastic, but he realizes that this is not really probable. So, that being said, he will accept any year motor tranny and bellhousing that will mate up with each other. Any ideas what years will NOT work? And what he should stay away from? Again, thank you all for you expert advise.

John E. Thank you for your posting. I will forward this information on. I do think that the items you listed are currently with the car. The motor and tranny, plus the drive shaft are what he needs the most. Harold. Thanks to you also for your input. He knows of the seller, and the cars drive line was or should I say has been missing for quite sometime. From what I understand of this eBay auction, my friend was a bit disappointed in the items that were "missing" from the car. Now he asks many more questions before bidding, and wants to know what he is getting into before buying. All in all, this really is a solid sedan. Rust is minimal, and pretty much dent free. His wishes are to try to keep as original as possible. I too, do not know what would be a head of him if he was to find a driveline from anything other than a P-10. I would hope that you guru's out there would be able to give your two cents worth when a motor and tranny are found. Thanks again for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming! Thanks so much.

The car has nothing! Needs the whole ball of wax. I can only think that the car was going to be a rod project that was torn down and then left. The steering is complete as I can remember, and the rear end is there, but nothing else. He is located in KY, across the boarder from Cincinnati. Hope this helps! Thank you.

Hum, this is one of those stories that I'm certain everyone can relate to. I have a Plymouth buddy that lives close to the Ohio, Kentucky line. He bought (from eBay) a rolling 40 Plymouth four door sedan. After delivery, he found that there was absolutly no driveline what so ever. Here is where we can all relate. I do not know, nor could I count the times I have walked past these drivelines either for sale, or just trying to give them away! Now that I know someone that has a need, I simply can not find one! I do have a tranny from a 40 Plymouth that could help him on his way, but I am not certain if it will simply "bolt up" to every flatty out there without any troubles. So, heres the story. Anyone in a reasonable distance able to help? He is going to need everything so I know that this is asking a lot, but you never know until you ask. Thanks for your time and replies guys!

No, what I'm trying to explain is that "originally, from MoPar" there was two styles of the "helmet" type bezels. One allowed a person to adjust the headlight beam without having to disassemble the bezel from the fender. Other aftermarket bezels were their own style. None of which had the removable stainless ring to access the headlight adjustments screws. Hope that this made things a bit more clear.

Actually, there are three different styles of H/L bezels for the 41 Plymouth. Yes, you are correct, the very early production 41's had a one piece bezel. This bezel was a stamped piece, and not pot metal. The five sided parking light lens was used for this style. One of my 41's that has been in my family since purchased in late 1940 has this type of bezel. Note, the bucket, that sits inside the fender is also different! Yep, found this out the hard way! The second type, or style followed as the type you all have been discribing, with a slight change. This pot metal bezel was formed to closely surround the headlight bulb, and it had the separate "bug eyed" parking lamp lens and housing as a separate unit. Now, the third style. This unit was a bit more advanced. At first glance it looks identical to the second style bezel. BUT!, the pot metal that surround the headlight bulb does not come close to the bulb as the one discribed above. In this case about a half inch gap was left, so you could adjust the screws on the head light beam without having to disassemble the whole unit to do this procedure. Filling this gap, was a stainless steel spacer ring, this thin ring was held into place by only a tiny barb at the top, that slid under the parking light housing. Lots of times you will see a 41 without this ring, but it really looks bad. Kinda like missing a front tooth. Over the years there has been some reproductions made from both stamped steel, and pot metal. Most of the stamped units used an attached inside ring to hold the bezel close to the fender. I personally can see the difference on the car, and do not like it. From what I have found, the knock off stamped pieces rust very easily too. Probably that "50's" chrome.

Thank you all very much for all the great suggestions! I will check into GreyHound, and some other local trucking companies to see what the lastest is. Shipping all four fenders, the hood and the trunklid is basically the whole car, just quite a bit lighter. I would think that with these items, I would fill up the belly of the bus pretty darn fast, but who knows! Looks like I best rent a U-Haul to buy tape and bubble wrap too!!! The Craigslist idea was a good one too! I'll try that! Dodgepu1946, would you happen to be needing a road trip to beautiful S.W. Pennsylvania anytime soon? I'd make it worth your time! If any other ideas come to mind, please advise. Again thank you!

Hello All! I need to find someone, or a good way to transport all four fenders, a hood, and a trunklid from a 1948 Plymouth to Minneapolis Minnesota, from Pittsburgh PA. Any help out there? All suggestions welcomed too! This stuff is not heavy, just bulky and large. PLEASE HELP! Thank you!!!

Rodney, The horns I sent a photo of are exactly what you are looking for. I picked them up two years ago at Hershey (They were turned upside down so they did not fill with water:) ). Even the original paint on them is good, also have the original relay. Bolt and go on these horns, that is why I bought them. Paid $85.00, down from the $100.00 asking price for the whole assembly. Might have been a bit high, but they are what they are, and they are real clean and not the easiest to find. Only thing missing is the bolts to attach to the firewall. If you are still interested, drop me a line.

Always wanted an overdrive for my original 41 Plymouth. Have seen them come and go over the years and never had the cash at the time to purchase one. Not saying that I have any better resources now, but as time and popularity of these tranny's go, I am once again looking into buying one. What is the "going price" for a complete O/D now a days? This would have to be a unit that has all of the pieces to put in place in a car. I'm not talking a fresh re-build, but maybe just a working unit. I'm interested in hearing from all that have their two cents worth. Thanks for your input! Anyone have one they wish to part with??? Again, thanks!

Rodney, Here are a set of correct, original P-10 horns. Sorry about the size of the photos. I think it is all the larger allowed. Hope that you can see the mount.

Roger, Hope that all the photos and scans found their way to you! Never heard back. Let me know and if you need, I will re-send.

BobT, Hum, not sure if I opened the photos up to the largest size or not. Guess that I was too excited to see if they even showed up at all! Hey, if you need the in a larger format, I could try to re-post at a later time, or, I could send them to you directly. They really are not large (in pixels) photos, just too big for this application. Let me know if you need them. Thanks again all for your help.

Well, here goes nothing! I am going to attempt to post two photos. One of my P-15 clocks, and one of the 1941 Plymouth clock that are for sale. Since I took the photo of the P-15 clocks, two have been sold, so I only have five. Now lets see if I can get this done....
