richards47deluxe Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Hello all, I am looking for pictures of original interior for a 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4 Door Sedan. Ready to do the upholstery and would like an idea what the original looked like. Anybody have any pictures they can send me? thanks, Richard:cool: my email address is pop@pacbell.net Quote
48P15Annie Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Richard, click the CarDomain link in my signature to see pictures of my car. It is original un-restored and the interior is ALL original, un touched. Hope it helps. Quote
richards47deluxe Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 That is one great looking car!!! Thanks for the link. That's perfect. Printing pictures for reference. Quote
48P15Annie Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Thank you! Glad I could help out! The arm rests are not original..just dawned on me. They were recoverd by the original owner. Personally, I like them better the way they are than original with the seat/door panel material. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Click on this link to the Old Cars Weekly feature article about a P15 sedan. Good interior pics down about half way. http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/article/1948_Plymouth_Special_DeLuxe/ Quote
richards47deluxe Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks Bob, Great pics and a very nice car. Quote
Eneto-55 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Thank you!Glad I could help out! The arm rests are not original..just dawned on me. They were recoverd by the original owner. Personally, I like them better the way they are than original with the seat/door panel material. Are you referring to the front arm rests, or the rear? Mine were in really bad condition, so cannot reuse them, but my 46 front arm rests were leather, to match the exterior color (green). Maybe they were made of two different materials - I can't remember for sure. (I still haven't moved my car to where we live now, so can't go out & look.) I don't recall now on the rear arm rests, if they were made of the seat fabric (as in this picture), or of the door panel fabric, but I think the former, correct? Quote
48P15Annie Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I am speaking of the front ones, on the door. The rear ones are un touched. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I know the front arm rests in the pic I sent have been recovered. As I recall, they were originally grey to match the interior. But due to being high use items, they usually frayed - therefore many have been redone with something that might not match, but was hopefully a tad more durable. Quote
38Plyroadking Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Hey Bob (or anyone else that knows), I the picture you provided I see that the car has the hubcaps with the flying ship on them. Would those fit my 38 Plymouth coupe wheels? I have wheel vintiques with the original hub caps on the that just say plymouth. Paul Quote
greg g Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 Those were pretty specific to the p15 years 9 and 10 inch ar out there but need stock clips to retain them. Quote
Jim Benjaminson Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I have a bunch of photos of a 47 P15C interior of a low-mileage, all original car. If anyone needs them scanned, contact me.... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 If your wheels have the clips to hold the caps......and I take it you are using your original caps......then they ought to work. But you might find one cheap somewhere to try first. Quote
