New to site with a 38 Plymouth P6 Coupe

[deathbound]

Hey, not sure if this is the section for an intro, but here goes. Name is Derek from Long Beach, Ca. I have checked on this site for about a year or so & decided to finally join. I have a 1938 Plymouth P6 Coupe(site friendly???), I've had it for about a year, mainly stock, except converted to 12 volt & in the process of adding an Offy dual carb intake & Langdon's split headers, also rewiring with an excellent condition stock wiring harness I found on ebay. I'm sure I'll have questions & hopefully contribute.

Derek,

Welcome to the forum. I really like your car.

That's a beauty!

Welcome aboard.

I'm running twin carbs and Fenton headers - it makes a huge difference.

Have fun.

Robin.

[Reg Evans]

I don't own a P15 or a D24 either and I haven't been thrown off this board yet.

[LAKOTA169]

[RobertKB]

Derek, welcome to a great forum. Lots of old Mopars here from late 20's to late 50's. I have four old flatties and one is also a kissing cousin to your car as it is a '38 Chrysler Royal. You will like the forum. Glad to hear you are going to keep it basically stock!

That is the first time I've seen a '38 Plymouth, nice, very nice.

[Robert Horne]

Welcome Derek,

You will find a wide variety of Mopars here, all are welcome. Bought my 38s in 1986.

[deathbound]

Thanks for all the welcomes & pics of your cars-all fine examples! I will get some interior & engine pics soon, but not complete due to the fact I'm in the middle of a re-wire & adding the new intake/exhaust. Because I would like a more nostalgic look, the only thing I'm not totally happy with are the look of the dual Carter Weber 2 barrel carbs w/electric choke (as recommended for good driveability), but I would really like to run 2 of the stock carbs (I think it's either a Carter C6J1 or C6K1), I have 1 off my car, so if anyone has a nice one "just laying around" that wants to part with it, let me know.

Hey Don, I've had it for just over a year, got it off ebay, was in Ohio.

[Frank Elder]

Derek it is nice to see your car, it is in nice shape, and you seem excited to have it.

Congratulations!

[Robert Horne]

Hey Don, I've had it for just over a year, got it off ebay, was in Ohio.

My 38 Coupe, Black with tan interior, came from Jefferson, Ohio. A few months ago, I seen another 38, all original black/tan, for sale in Jeffernon, Ohio.

Ohio to California is a long haul. Did you drive it home?

You'd better go check your garage.:D

No, I had it shipped, would've been a nice drive though.

Yep, it's still there!

[HughForrest]

George Aasche supplied me with 2 re-jetted original style Carters for my dual setup. It has been a few years and they still run flawlessly.

I have a core carb or 2 for you if you find yourself in Santa Cruz.

[Greenbomb]

Oh, yeah! I like it! Welcome- there's lotsa info and fun here. If you don't mind saying, how much did it cost to ship the car. I've always wondered about that.

[BobT-47P15]

A guy who lives down the street from me recently bought a 38 Plym

coupe in either Dallas or Houston. Is pretty solid, but missing running

gear, steering wheel, interior and some other things. He's going to

make it a street rod since so much is gone. Should be nice when it

gets done. Welcome.
