What year and model of Plymouth was this?

[medium_jon]

Saw this car today. What did it used to be before it was hot rodded?

Looks like a 36 Plymouth.

Somebody get this man a grill!

[Mike36]

It's a 35 or 36 Plymouth. Can't see enough of it to tell which. Same body, different fenders.

Yeah, I should have taken more photos. It was in someone's yard with a for sale sign on it. No plates (not even a VA Antique exempt plate), so they haven't run it for awhile.

36 Plymouth.

Sorry but the grill in that first pic blinded me, I can't see anything else

Yeah, it is 'special'

with the rodding action taken upon it...it will appeal to a different crowd...not sure of the interior changes but with AC and more than not the implant of the auto tranny...shifter/console install may come into play....all depends on if it as finished truly caught your attention...I believe one could find a grille...

Or at least fabricate a better looking one.

It is a 36 Plymouth for sure....... with a phantom of the opera mask.

I thought it looked like someone hung turn signals on a shower curtain.

 It is. The emblem on the trunk lid was placed on the 1936 model Plymouth's. The 1935 Plymouth sedans that featured trunks had no emblem on their lids. The grille on this car must go I'm afraid.

I guess I shouldn't be so critical. I'm sure a grill for a 36 is pretty hard to come by these days. I like the looks of those cars alot, just think it would have been better with the original grill.

@Flatie46, I think the rest of the universe  would agree with you.

Looks like a model P2 Deluxe. The grills on these cars were not very sturdy. Most 36's I see have a replacement grill of some sort.

LOL...  Boy ain't that the truth!  

[classiccarjack]

Too bad it's small block chebbied!  Boo!  I have saved much worse cars.  And yes, I can spell Chevrolet, I just like to poke fun at this terrible trend.

About $1K would fix that scab. New Grill Insert

@hkestes41, Looks like you could start with a wide BBQ grill.

In 1967 I bought a new grill for my '36 Ply from JC Whitney. Cost me $29.95. Sometimes the "good ole days " really were.
