    UPDATE!!!!
    [​IMG]
    The two men pictured above are the original builders of this 1933 Plymouth (photo taken last Friday night). Their cousin purchased the car from us, and his son-in-law has since installed the fenders we acquired after the sale. For those keeping track, it’s a Plymouth with a Dodge front end.

    And here is the coupe back in the early 1960's!!

    My '33 Plymouth has a '34 Dodge grille shell as well! I had a choice of '33 Plymouth grille or Dodge. I like the Dodge shell more.

    Hello,

    In the photo below, a narrow rear window shows a hot rod that is not a Ford, or so it seems.

    So, the body styles are similar, but the small things make each one different. Shown is a fenderless, Plymouth Coupe and then, in the story, a Plymouth Coupe with a Dodge front end?

    Please take a look at the enclosed action of a 5 window coupe from the 1959 time period as an Altered Coupe. I took this film a long time ago and no one seems to know what kind of coupe it is. Not a Ford as I have a friend who has a 34 ford window coupe. The rear side window is too narrow. The closest thing is a 5 window Chevy coupe, but again, it misses the selection.

    So, now, a 33 Plymouth looks to be the right window shape and small side window. Tall and narrow like the Altered Coupe I filmed in 1959.

    It was the only non Ford car in the compe***ion and plus it was one of the only coupes with a right side steering system. YRMV
