1936 Plymouth HELP!

[Don Coatney]

I went to the last Boro cruise in for the season this evening. Lots of fun cars. I ran into my friend who owns the 36 Plymouth pictured below. He told me he was driving on the freeway doing 60 MPG and some drunk rear-ended him. This drunk must have been doing 80 because it close to totaled this Plymouth. The cops hauled the drunk off in cuffs but fortunately the drunk had insurance. Problem is now my friend is trying to find parts for repairs. The most critical parts are rear quarter panels. Does anyone know where these quarter panels may be available for this 36 Plymouth 2 door sedan? I sure would like to help him out. He may also need other parts but the quarter panels are the critical part.

That makes me sick to hear that Don.....I have nothing of that era. But if I find anything.....

I'll ask around. I know of several 1937 P4 cars in my local area but no 1936 P1 or P2. I need to check the parts book to see if the 1936 four door body parts are interchangeable with other years, etc...

Looks like it is a P2 rather than P1. I don't know if that makes a difference for quarter panels in 1936 (does not for 1933). Need to check that too...

Should fit 35-36 cars of same body style. From my 36-48 master parts list looks like they are model specific. Don does that car have the hump for the trunk? Also am I seeing things or is there a second door handle on the side?

Ed;

My mistake! it is a 4 door. I dont have any back side pictures.

Don that one shows it well enough. Its a 4door touring sedan. Which means it has the hump for the trunk.

Moore's Auto Salvage in SD shows 8 '36 Plymouth 4 door sedans on their website. Maybe they have the pieces he needs.

What a shame Don. I know exactly what car you are talking about. He always stays at the same hotel as I do for Frog Follies in Evansville. That is a super nice car. I just saw it again last month. I can't remember his name, but he is a nice fellow. Hate to hear he got hit.

The 1936 body was used only in 1936. It was based on the 1935 body but had a different windshield and everything from the B pillar back. Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler were based on the Plymouth. but had different rear doors and rear quarter panels. Plus the DeSoto Custom and Chrysler used a 2-piece windshield.

The 1937 was a new body with nothing interchanging with the 1936 models.

Guy named carcrop on E-bay is parting a 36 4 door sedan...I bought the right front door from him several weeks ago. I think he still has most of the rest of the car. I know he had fenders listed on e-bay recently.

I like the spare on the right front, and was thinking about doing it with mine, as I have that fender setup also. I managed to snag a 5th artillery wheel not too long ago. Joel
