StyroBilly Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 Hello everyone, Good to be on the forum. I signed up because I'm in the market for a Tudor 1942 Plymouth P14C project i can build. If anyone happens to have one or know someone who does, I would greatly appreciate any referrals. Thanks guys! 1 Quote
moparfun Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 Welcome, if you want a specific car you just have to look around how hard and how far is up to you. Happy hunting Quote
Los_Control Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 Welcome aboard, do you have any plans for it? .... The 2 door coupes are pretty cool Hot Rods stock or full race gasser You are pretty specific on a 1942, while the body style was the same for several years. A quick search on FB showed a 42 coupe for $4500, maybe too much. Is a Texas car and looks to be minimal if any rust .... No motor/trans All the trim, chrome bumpers, SS grill, tail lights etc look nice .... needs full upholstery .... would be a easy car to build. Also a 48 that looks decent but will be a complete project for $1500 .... Just depends on what you want. Looks like you are in WA, IMHO it would be worth searching Eastern WA for a clean less rust car .... too much rain in Western WA. They are out there, you just got to search for them. Quote
andyd Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 Styro.........you mentioned that you want a "Tudor"............do you mean a 2 Door Sedan?, 2 Door Business Coupe(short roof) or the 2 Door Club Coupe(longer roof).......all were available from 1942 to 1948.........I think "Tudor" was the Ford term for their 2 door Sedan which might confuse your search...........either way good luck in the hunt...........andyd Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 Yes, "Tudor" was more Ford specific marketing and would probably net you a lot of search returns that are not what you're actually looking for, since you're rather specific. Also, keep in mind that 1942 was a truncated year for all makers due to the onset of WW2, so although not rare, 1942 model year cars are not quite as plentiful, and sellers may have an exaggerated idea of their value. Of course, should you decide to stick around on this Forum once you've found your dream car, we'd like to follow along on the adventure (fair warning, you'll be pressed for photos). Welcome! Quote

Some of them are pretty rare. The Plymouth town sedan sure is. I've only seen pictures of one Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 I have two of these rare town sedans in captivity....they are as stated, kinda far and few between. Quote
