Bob, thanks for that. It clearly shows the swage to stiffen it that I was missing and wondering how it could be so narrow as to clear the hood props and be stiff enough. -Andy

Does anyone have a picture of one or similar? I've some horns from a later car and a bracket for mounting in front of the radiator and dozens of pictures of 39 horns but none clearly show the bracket.

that's the most tasteful rat rod I've ever seen, thanks.

Down under Plymouths were electric, they were cowl mounted and used a Bosch motor similar to a VW beetle.

Tod, I use it because it works to discourage unsolicited mail and posssibly due to my IP's filtering it's years since I received spam without a valid return address. I'm not concerned it may return to a hacked account, the legitimate user should be made aware of it and deleting returned messages is the least of the poor blokes's' problem. The fact that it works suggests the spammer (or their hacked subordinate) does indeed get the message. -Andy

Have a look if your email app has a return to sender, address unknown option. Mine in Mac OS mail app is called bounce and appears in the contextual/popup menu with a right click. -Andy

I made that part up I'm guessing that's what TC denotes...
-
but not on the Dodge versions or prewar Dodge Town & Country ute

As well as this and the longer motor the US cars have one angle from floor to firewall while the Canadian version has two like the larger US cars. I wonder if the long motor necessitated it or it was economics like the trim and they shared the floor with a sibling.

Bill, I'll scan and post more as I find the time. I only have four 1939 copies of the Chrysler Plymouth (and Fargo) ones, they're 12 pages or so with some unrelated travel and film content. These from the web of Fabrica Auto-Mex's Mexico City building (1952-2007) The mural was saved and now adorns the Department of Internal Affairs. -Andy

This great source info belongs here

I'd intended to do some exploring yesterday myself but the weather didn't play it's part. I did however come across this... in an article in this rail publication www.aattc.org.au/The%20Times%20February%202008.pdf which states TJR bodied 6 of these 'tigers' for Canada Cycle & Motor Co and SA Railways. Considering this and Andy's sighting I guess these were pretty much production bodies. -Andy

Richards are said to have stuck with production bodies, I think Waymouth may have done these in house

note the speedster outside

I agee too Questions I've pondered for years answered in a flash. You guys are great. I have thought about linking related threads or images in them. -Andy -
Not really, in my P7 the distributor was too close to the footwell and modifying the footwell would have made it uncomfortable, even minimal rear spark plug access is intrusive. I looked at the cost of direct firing and the low mileage 4.0 and trans was less, cheap and plentiful like the oz hemi had once been The exhaust was still on the wrong side so I moved the battery box.
-
Wow indeed, the mother of them all. Greg, that's an impressive bundle of snakes. What's the trans? -Andy
-
Bill, the pic is from an Overseas Graphic I scanned long ago and not very well, so I dug it out and had another go...
-
a little CDD piece, aII I have time for tonight...
-
Those are neat Bill. Here's a picture of the Dodge courtesy of the Library of Congress... I forwarded the Plymouth drawing to a local 42 woody owner asking if he's learned anything of it's origins.
-
A lone P7 followed by a bunch of D12s. Would these have been solely for the Mexican domestic market?
-
I kicked one out of bed in my P7 for a 4.0 Jeep. The only thing the semi hemi has over the Jeep is a cool name. Both are longer than the flathead and require some firewall and toe board surgery.
-
That sounds possible Bill ...but I can't see why anything less than a cowl-chassis would have a a VIN. Richard's stamped a VIN (model and body style with a number) on the cowl and attached their body # tag next to it with screws while the Lynch Rd tag is attached with drive rivets. A chassis number was also stamped on the LH rail below the cowl and I think that and the engine number were used for registration purposes. I don't recall seeing a Detroit tag on a donor sedan I had which leads me to think they were shipped as both cowl-chassis and CKD. -Andy
