Joel Haluck Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, I am new to the forum, I purchased a 46 plymouth business coupe and need to know what body parts interchange on these old plymouths. The 5 passenger coupes seem to have a different roof line and quarter windows. But the fenders look the same as do the front ends and doors, Is the trunk lid the same? What years are the same. Thanks Joel, Greensburg Pennsylvania Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 there are four deck lids listed for the P15...the business coupe and the club coupe do not share deck lids... Quote
pflaming Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 My recollection was that the business coupe had a single bench with good access to the back through larger doors and a longer trunk lid. It was for the traveling salesman, Fuller Brush and Watins Products. A neighbor / rancher used one for his 'tool' car instead of a pickup. A five passenger coupe was just that as differienciated from a "Tudor Sedan" which was for six passengers, i.e., a sedan. My recollection is that the business coupe ceased in about 1955. Pictures of each style would be nice. Quote

Frank M. Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Hi Joel. The Bus Coupe body is unique. Converts were made from reworked Bus Cpe. bodies also. The Deck Lid fits only Bus Cpe,but can be used on a Convert by changing the hinge bolt plates to the outer set of holes that are punched in the inner panel. This naturally would work in reverse-- A convert Deck to a Bus Cpe. Front fenders are all the same. Back fenders likewise EXCEPT for Station Wagons. The rear window on Bus Cpe is flat and on Club Coupe is curved. Hope all this helps. Welcome to the Forum. Frank M. Quote
greg g Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Here is a shot of my business coupe. The bus cpe doors are slated forward at the b pillar and thc club cpes are nearly straight up. The quarter windows onthe bizzy are also smaller. Quote
Joel Haluck Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks for the information, my car is rough and has been converted into a rat rod, so alot of the original parts are gone. I am going to put the body back to a orginal look and replace existing drive train (chevy) to mopar small block and make it driver quality. This is my first40's car, done afew 50's alot of 60's and a couple of 70's. It should be fun. Thanks again for the info. Joel Quote
Young Ed Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Greg are you sure I always thought the club coupe and business coupes shared doors. Quote
Robin (UK) Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 The doors are different. The P15 Business Coupe has a shorter roofline and a longer trunk than the Club Coupe but the doors are the same. I checked the Parts List and that confirms Part Nos 976892 (right) and 976893 (left). Both body styles have the same angled B-pillars. Hope this info helps. Robin. Quote
RobertKB Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 Welcome to the forum. Whatever car you have you will enjoy and be able to find answers to any question. If you can't get an answer, there isn't one. Any pictures of your car? Quote
greg g Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Guess I was thinking of the 2 door sedan regarding the doors. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Joel. Welcome. Now, the next question is.....is your biz coupe a Deluxe or Special Deluxe? Quote
Flatie46 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Sorry if I told you wrong, I bought a club coupe project last year and own a business coupe I thought when I looked there was a difference in the glass shape or somthing. Thanks for catchin that Robin, you got me wonderin though. I'll have to go look at this again... My forgeter's gettin' better. Quote
pflaming Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 That black business coupe is as nice as a car can get. You must get a lot of looks when you drive it. Quote
greg g Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 All the glass in a bisuness coupe is flat. the club coupes have larger curved rear glass Quote
Joel Haluck Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Posted February 16, 2009 Now that is one nice coupe! Could you post pictures from different angles, so I know what one is supposed to look like. I didn,t see this yesterday,don't know why.I am new to forums,probably me. Joel Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Nice pics of your car with some nifty places, Greg. Quote
greg g Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Just trying to keep up with you with your location shots. The WPC shot is from last Sept in detroit at the POC meet, and the one infront of the General Store is in Plymouth Notch VT. at the POC meet 3 years ago. The store was the birthplace of President Calvin Coolidge I believe. Quote
