michael.warshaw Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 what do you like better. I prefer the club coupe i guess im biased since i own a club coupe. what do you like the look of better? Quote
Reg Evans Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 I have two different business man's coupes. A 38 and a 42 Dodge so you know my bias. Quote
michael.warshaw Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 here is a pic of the business coupe i dont think its looks as good as a club coupe thats my opinion. Quote
Andydodge Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Michael, I have that body shell on my 1941 P11 Plymouth ASC Coupe, which for most people is a business coupe body shell......ASC?......yep mines an Auxillary Seat Coupe, same body shell as the everyday business coupe but has the folding rear seat that can accomadate 2 extra bodies if necessary.....have attached a pic of the rear seat........personally I've always preferred the look of the shorter business coupe style body shell, much more streamlined but we all have our poison..........regards, andyd Quote
greg g Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Well since coupes were originally 2 seaters 3 in a pinch, the club coupe is the black sheep of the family, neither a true coupe nor a sedan. And you can't take a white coupe seriously. In substitute for the next 1000 words............... I rest my case. Quote
Don Coatney Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 I can double date in my car. Try that in any koop:D Quote
T120 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Hi Andy,First time I've seen a Plymouth business coupe with the back seat (ASC) - was this an option in Australia?The only other business coupe I've seen with back seats is a 1940 Ford -called an Opera Coupe -2 small seats ,one on either side that folded down.

Another member of this forum has a 1941 Dodge (Canadian) coupe with the jump seats. Phil Quote
Reg Evans Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 You can double date in a bizzy coupe too Don. You just have to ask the ladies to change places every 20 minutes or so. I can double date in my car. Try that in any koop:D Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 I can double date in my car. Try that in any koop:D Don, what's this double date stuff. That's nothing to get excited about. When I had my 52 Dodge more door back in 63, I had five couples in the car all at once. If you're going to go big, do it right. Had 3 couples in the back, another couple in the front, along with my girl and I. By the way, I could do the same in my club coupe today. Don't really need a more door to do it with. Ya just gotta know how to pack em in. Quote
Captain Neon Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 The most important question is which one hauls more 'shine? The next questions one must ask 1) which one is less likely to get stopped by a revenuer, and 2) which one is best equipped to outrun a revenuer? Quote
Tony Cipponeri Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 My vote is with the business coupe. Tony c Quote
David Maxwell Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 ...wouldn't kick either one out of my garage. If anyone can't stand their coupe and needs to give it to a good home... I'll make room. Quote
LAKOTA169 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 I like them both. I have the Business Coupe, but there are times I wish I had a back seat to take the grandkids. Quote
JohnS48plm Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 I like the club coupe it has room for 4 or 5 people and you still have a good sized trunk. JohnS Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Club coupe for me. I wish I had one. But, like David says, I wouldn't throw a business coupe out of my garage, that's for sure. My next project is going to be a Ford Falcon but I don't know if they'll allow me to work on it at the nursing home. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 I've had three club coupes, but never owned a business coupe. I like the space of the rear seat, and general lines of the car. However, I would take a biz coupe if one presented itself at a reasonable price, etc. Quote
Andydodge Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Ralph, I'd never heard of the ASC option either till I bought this car, I thought all 40/41 Plymouth Coupes were business coupes with just the single front folding bench seat, but when the car arrived and it had the ASC as part of the body number, P111063ASC I rechecked a few things in the John Lee book "Standard Catalog of Chrysler" and it mentions the ASC coupe option for 41 Plymouths.....and my car was supposedly factory RHD built in Sth Africa, Chrylser opened a factory in 1941 there and closed it in 1942 for the duration of the war........andyd Quote
Rollie��� Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Sedans are for pussies, and chrome rims don't make them faster. Quote
Don Coatney Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Sedans are for pussies, and chrome rims don't make them faster. I see from your profile that you have not made any friends here. Now I know why. Quote
michael.warshaw Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 Sedans are for pussies, and chrome rims don't make them faster. i like this guy Quote
Young Ed Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Nothing wrong with a sedan. Remember there are 2dr sedans too. I agree with the chrome rims part though. Quote
JoelOkie Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Rollie.....enough beating around the bush....what do you REALLY think? Re: the thread...I have a 46 club coupe, and I, of course, like that body style or I probably wouldn't have it. I like the business coupe also, and would be just as happy with one of them. Interestingly enough, until this last year I also owned a 48 4 door sedan in the original black paint, original interior, ect., just an nice old car that was clean and straight, and ran well, and to my often surprise when out crusing with a pack, (containing some very sharp coupes, and other sedans, both 2 & 4 door, in a range from late 30's to mid 60's), that often as not when we would stop at Sonic, or for drinks/eats, ect. ( to the obvious chagrin of some of my crusing buddies with the "nicer" cars) that more people would come to hang around and look at my old stock black 4r door sedan. I have to admit, I did run chrome reverse wheels on it, and no, I could not tell that they ever made it run one bit faster. I am guessing that appreciation for different styles of cars, like beauty, is definately in the eye of the particular beholder. Edited November 25, 2009 by JoelOkie Quote

T120 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Hi Phil, Was this also a factory option? Quote
