Here is a video of a 1939 Plymouth 3 Window Coupe

Titled a Plymouth the right hand drive and 3 Window coupe makes me wonder if it really isnt a 1939 Aussie 3 Window 1939 Plymouth bodied Dodge?

Too hot for me, but nice looking car.

Now that one is cool...wondered if early mechanical fuel injection could be used on a flatty...question answered! Wish we knew what muffler{s} was under there.

Yep, thats in Oz, its an Oz TJ Richards body, Mario built it originally about 20 yrs ago, recently updated it again.........weird thing is that both 3 and 5 window coupe bodys were bulit here in Oz, 3 windows are much more common, a mate has this car & is rebuilding it now, this pic was taken about 30 yrs ago.......have also attached a scan of pics of the Oz 37-39 Willys coupe & Ute bodys........andyd

I believe the black coupe was discussed on this forum and the ower was a participent for a while.

Sounds pretty snotty don't it???

Btw if you look real close on the pic of the blue 39 Dodge coupe you can make out the " TJR " stamped plate that is on the US drivers side of the firewall........these were spot welded onto the firewall. They also have a brass plate with " T J Richards King Of The Road " on the top of the firewall and a small triangular enamelled badge with "Richards" & a kangaroo on the Oz passenger side of the cowl ...........a bit of trivia...........andyd

Gents,

Spiffy cars, both of them, but I wonder why a stock master cylinder would be trusted to stop a dragster. Maybe the builder is of the school that thinks you aren't winning any races with the brakes on?
