1937 Plymouth P4 Deluxe
1937 marked the first year Plymouth built a million units in a single year. The P4 Plymouth accounted for 86% of those units. Just 10 years before, Plymouth was introduced by Chrysler as a value brand. Plymouths continued to sell well up until the beginning of WW2, ensuring Chrysler’s survival during the Great Depression.

The P4 was powered by a 201 cubic inch flat head 6 producing 82 hp. It boasted of such advances like a 4 main bearing crank shaft and an oil filter for cleaner, longer lasting oil.
Inside you’ll find lots of lovely wood [or woodgrain sheetmetal?] with a nice, lived in look and art deco dials. Since we are talking a value brand, you have to make due with cloth seats, but there are 3 pedals on the floor.
