Nice car but I would want a back seat.

Nah...there's plenty of room in the trunk for passengers.

My grandfather bought one of these new in 39 specifically because it didn't have a back seat. He was sick of giving sister in law rides everywhere they went.

Did he ever offer them the trunk ?

Did he ever offer them the trunk ?

Not that he ever admitted to and he's not around anymore to ask. I keep hoping to run across photos of it at grandmas house or the other dodges he had afterwards. After the 39 he had a D24 and then a 51 dodge.

Nice variation on the 1939 Plymouth P7 Businessman's coupe.

Factory optional slide in P/U box that could be used with or without the trunk lid attached.

75 1/2" long and not quite a ute.

UNIQUE car/option

Ever seen one of those? Always thought it would be neat to have but I wonder if anyone actually purchased and if they did if they survived to the present.

This model was available with the rear seats removed, two forward tilting "Panel truck" style seats and a parcel screen.

"Passenger car appearance, report many owners,often permits this smartly styled Plymouth Utility Sedan to go on Residential streets and Boulevards, from which out and out commercial vehicles are barred."

Funny that a vehicle designed to carry cargo used the rare and "slimmer" Slantback trunk style. You would have thought that the "bustleback" trunk would have gone on this one.

Notice how the "patient" gets loaded through the trunk. They must have cut out the "X" bulkhead behind the rear seat. This one has the "bustleback" trunk....go figure.

I'd have to check the parts book, but at least for some years in the 1930s, the external bypass thermostat was only on the DeLuxe not on the Standard/Business/Roadking models.

In Canada there were 3 models of 1939 Plymouth

Roadking

Deluxe

Custom

The Canadian Roadking did NOT have by-pass thermostat housing. Deluxe and Custom did.

The 1939 P7 Roadking Plymouth was so basic (allowing it to be advertised as the lowest price car of 1939) that the equipment only included:

Floor shift (no column shift)

NO oil filter

NO vent (1/4) windows

No body molding

No cigar lighter

Single wiper

Single tail light

Single visor

Single horn

Basic steering wheel and horn button

9" hubcaps (not 10")

5.50 X 16 tires (not 6.00 X 16") there were optional 20" tires.
