frankieflathead Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Here is a photo of a 1940 Plymouth that appears to have that same paint scheme as the Dodge. Yes it does! Great find, Bob! Either that, or it's a taxi. Edited October 25, 2013 by frankieflathead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well, the advertisement hit the mark..."Different"....and certainly an "Air of Distinction". Sure did generate a lot of discussion. Looks like an early example of non-automotive designer influence to see where it goes, this one with bare minimum affect on production if it didn't sell - just what parts are painted, rather than extra trim, different body panels, etc. Some work, some don't. This one doesn't blow my skirt up. Colors are too fruity and it looks like an afterthought. (hendo0601 - I know you aint talking about the hockey team - Hooah!)

Now that you mention taxi, looks like there could be some type of sign in back of her left should on the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Ed Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I love the colors its the layout that ain't working. As someone else said it reminds me way too much of a car someone crashed and swapped front clips from another wrecked car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennCraven Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Oh, that's right, the Royal Lancer! ... We saw those the other day in the thread started by one of our European friends, who looked at a pink, black and white model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 If I had some spare money and space I'd be looking at this gem..... I've been lusting after a 55 or 56 Chrysler or DeSoto 2dr ht ever since I was a teen. Beautiful cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'm still kinda kicking myself over the '55 Fireflite with no engine/trans, though if it weren't for my frame problems I wouldn't feel so bad. If you can still find it,I have a complete 55 291. The special order engine with the factory 4brl. I just gave the transmission away last week,but will sell the engine. I also have a NOS power brake booster and mastercylinder that was a 55-only option on DeSoto and Chrysler cars if any of you restoring a 55 want to put power brakes on it.
