I am glad I found this place, I am sure I will have thousands of questions. I will be 31 in 2 weeks. My name is Kevin by the way.

Thanks for all of the help everyone. I am actually looking forward to winter this year since that means I get to start my winter projects on this car. I am very anxious to start making improvements. Here are the only 2 pictures I have of it right now. I will get some more detailed pictures of it with interior shots this weekend.

Thank you for the help so fast. I am reading through that judging document and it is very informative. Also, I have been watching those videos for the last few days and they are very helpful. I plan on having this car in the family forever and enjoy taking it to shows. I know my grandpa would have loved to restore it to original condition and win a big show. The car is in very good condition for the age, but is not even close to winning on the big stage. Over the next few years I want to put it back to original and I don't mind spending the money or time to do so. I have 4 questions right now: Where is a good place to look for all of the interior knobs? (Choke, Headlight, Throttle, etc...) Where can I find information on what components are coated with which material? (Bumpers, door handles, trim pieces) My dash, steering wheel, and window surrounds are all painted the same color as the steering column. After watching the videos this appears to be wrong. Did all P12's have the wood grained finish and whiteish steering wheel? (How do you find this information for exact colors and style?) And last, how do I know what my original interior was as far as material and color? I know my seats were recovered with not original and the headliner was redone but looks original. I think the rest of the interior is original.

Hello all, I am new to this forum and fairly new to Plymouths in general. About a year ago I inherited a 1941 Special Deluxe Coupe from my Grandpa. As far as I know it is mostly original and in pretty good condition. I know the interior has had some work done but I am not sure about everything else. I will get some pictures posted when I get a chance. My question is what is the best way to go about figuring out what is original and what is not? Are there good resources out there that describe how these cars looked from the factory, as far as interior (paint, upholstery, floor mats, etc...) and exterior (paint, wheels, accents on trim pieces, etc...)? I plan on refurbishing and repairing everything to bring it back to showroom condition. Each winter I will take on a new project that I can hopefully complete and still take the car to shows each season. I would rather not have the car taken apart for years. Sorry for such a long post, but it is my first and I have a lot information to share.
