Features 1940-1948 Chrysler/DeSoto/Dodge/Plymouth Mopar only picture thread.

Went to look at this 1947 Chrysler Windsor as a part trade for a OT car I have for sale. It's running and yard driving with the flathead six rebuilt about 7 years ago. Even has the YOM plates on it still! I thought I might share here.

Sorry for the crummy phone pictures. The better pictures are on my camera at home.

 

Lovin' the '42's. Cool thread

 

Love mopars have had mine for 33 years will try to pic up putting 392 hemi in right now

 

Cool, another opportunity to put up a pic. I'll take any opportunity I can to show the old girl off. '47 with a 340.

 

Here's my '40 Plymouth sedan delivery. Long term project finally on the road this summer. 5500 miles on it now with road trips to Sonoma, Portland and Monterey for the vintage races and Bonneville since we didn't run this year. After so many years as soon as it was road worthy I started driving it. I'll get the upholstery done this winter. Nick

 

I’ve owned a couple of these old Chryslers. Great cruisers.

Hemiken, do you happen to have any pictures of some 42s? I'm trading for a special deluxe this weekend and would like to get some ideas. I'm stoked to be getting it and can't wait to tear into it. Thanks for this thread. It's awesome!

JonnyZ742 coupe, 4 door or sedan? From the front it looks really nice.

 

the sedan looks killer love the chrome trim as well

 

Hey dragonknucks, did you get that 42 Plymouth coupe yet ? Would love to see what you got buddy.

 

Yes. It's a four door. It was chiseled out of a farm field but, it's not in bad shape really.

Gary Goodguy Meadors first car was this '47 Plymouth Coupe:

Gary & his Plymouth ... Dinuba, CA ... circa late '50s​

In the '80s, Gary built this "re-creation":

... and here's Gary's '48 Chrysler T&C:

NOTE: @low springs chronicled the build in the 48 Chrysler town n country build thread.

 

That car was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
