First P15 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Got a quick question for the guys who been at this way longer than me. I have a chance to buy a box of chrome trim supposed to be a complete set NOS for a 49 Plymouth coupe. I’m restoring a 48 coupe. Will any of the chrome trim pieces fit on my 48 super deluxe coupe?? Thanks Quote
greg g Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 If it is for an early 49, basically a carry over P15 design yes, if it is from a late series 49 no. They were a new and different car body and frme Because of tooling problems for the new model, Chrysler kept the former p15 model in production through early March of 49and sold them as 49,s. 1 Quote
First P15 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks that’s what I thought but wasn’t sure. Now to try and find out what body number or serial number was the cutoff for the p15 Quote
bobd1976 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) As mentioned early 49 are the same as a 48 . Other than that two completely different body style..A picture of the side trim you should be able to tell if it fits your 48. Edited June 21, 2019 by bobd1976 1 Quote

I’ve got an assortment of trim pieces but some have minor damage, some major. Haven’t matched everything up yet since I’ve been working on brakes and cleaning/repairing interior. Should have that part finished in a couple weeks. Quote

I didn’t ask for anything and he wasn’t offering anything..... for all I know he was going to offer a link to a source. I don’t know that either because I didn’t ask. What was the potential violation that occurred? Quote
