Very nice article. Thanks for sharing.

Car looks very familiar, but who knows. Seems like I saw it on ebay last year, but maybe not.

Wow that is a really nice looking car. No pitting at all on the chrome; must be nice. Mine isn't painted but I think I like the ship background red. It makes it stand out.

Last year I drove Carol in my P-15 to see a WWII reinactment in Troy, Ohio that featured a Sherman tank. I had head that the 5 engine configuration had driven the tanks. I saw the tank and learned that many configurations had been tried and used. I got to see Sherman manuver and fire several blank charges toward the crowd. Carol took movies. I have yet to learn how to post them. When I got back to my car there was a note on the windshield from Nick Essinger introducicng himself and asking about my ride. We waited and and Nick eventually saw use and came over a chin wag. I invited him to join the forum and have since seen him at several cruise ins. If he is still a member here maybe he will chime in now. I see he is well connected enough to get published and I have that as one of my goals in my bucket list. Congratulations Nick. Neighbor down the road, Frank

Nice car and nice press for our old Plymouths. Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of David Maxwell's car............

IF you notice, the headline of the article called it a "Super Deluxe", which I think was a Ford

model name. However, in the article it was called a Special Deluxe. It would seem they need

some one with knowledge to proofread.

My car was originally the crusier maroon...sure looks sharp on that one. Great interior pix too...a useful reference.

Only thing it makes me think is how far I have to go with our car...

...Nice colour, one of my favorites from the post war era

Accidently found this POC article while surfing their list back issues this past week. Nick's got a great car and an easy to read writing style. I even went so far as to email Nick, offer these comments and say hello. We've started a little parlay of emails, and he's offered his many years of advice if needed. My car and Nick's are almost twins with the exception that his is in mint condition and mine is in near original condition. But as the saying goes, "it's only original once."

I haven't found the Plymouth item yet, but there was another item about

this Dodge coupe.

[BobT-47P15]

IF it's this one......it looks a lot like the one of David Maxwell.

[BobT-47P15]

Great example of an original interior.

This link may go more directly to the article.....at least it did for me.......http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/article/1948_Plymouth_Special_DeLuxe/

Got a phone call yesterday from Nick Essinger himself! Nicks a young at heart 70 year old AF veteran that loves his cars. Had a great conversation with him and he certainly has seen a lot in his lifetime. He gave me quite a few pointers (I'm still quite a virgin when it comes to P15's) and we've agreed to keep a channel open for questions anytime I need a hand.

Great........another Plymouth success story.
