1946-1948 plymouth trunk card boards

Can someone tell me where I can buy trunk cardboards for these models ? Thx

I don't think they are reproduced.  What body style are you dealing with?  I think there were differences depending on where the bulkhead was located as in between a business coupe and a 4 door sedan.  You can buy the material from automotive upholstery shops or from where they get their supplies.  I have the one from my car that is out and could be used for a template, but it would need to wait till the spring as I will not be near it for a while.  It is for a Business coupe.

OK... Thanks

I imagine you've already checked Ebay?  Some available there, although not too cheap.  Around $75-$80 with shipping.

No I hadnt.. I see they have carpet trunk mats and dividers to the back seat there.. Didnt Plymouth in those years have cardboards along the sides of the trunk ?

No. Just between the seat and trunk.

I do not think that was an item until later..they were an option on the 54 model..

Restoration Specialties sells "painted cowlboard" for this purpose.  It is not very expensive, but the shipping is terrible.

I could not find a place to hang, suspend, locate a cardboard on my business coupe...not saying they did not come with one..just cannot see how it was attached in position as with the club coupe/sedans...the bz cp has a two piece plywood screw attached bulkhead..   I will add, that the trunk NOW has a divider installed that extends to the curvature of the inner wheel well..

Good to hear they didnt have side cardboards.. Finally get a break on spending money. Ill make the trunk divider and spray it with black primer..
