Can't be sure but I think it's a 37 (P-4) - headlights appear to be mounted higher than on a 38. Either way, it is a Deluxe coupe - and it has a rumble seat. That makes it fairly rare - rumble seats were almost dead by the late 30s. |

“That is a 38 deluxe” …and you know this how? I have TWO 1938 Plymouth coupes (P-6 “Deluxe” and P-5 “Roadking”) – both street rods, neither with rumble seat. Whatever, exteriors of 37 and 38 are virtually identical from the cowl back. Front fenders, grills, hood ornaments and headlights are different – hoods work differently but look the same when closed. Like I said, headlights appear to be mounted higher and farther forward like on 37s, although they are similarly mounted on early 38s (those built prior to March) – or it could just be the camera angle. Also, Plymouth sold twice as many 37s as 38s, so it’s more likely to be a 37. But bottom line, maybe your eyes are better than mine but I don’t see any way to tell from this picture whether it’s a 38 or a 37. Either way, it’s a Deluxe as they didn’t put rumble seats in the cheaper models. BTW, 38 was the last Plymouth coupe with rumble seat – 39 convertibles had them and that was the last Plymouth rumble seat. What trim are you missing? Try eBay, Hemmings, and the Plymouth Owners Club (just don’t tell them you’re a rodder!) |

Nope, still not buying it - the angle of the picture is such that it\'s impossible to tell whether the car is a 37 or a 38. Whatever, P-6 rumble seat coupe production numbers may exist but I\'ve never seen them. I have seen numbers of 6,877 for P-4 (37 Deluxe) RS coupes, 566,128 for total 37 production, and 285,704 for total 38 production. So, if the ratio of 37 Deluxe RS coupes to total 37 production held for 38, there would have been 3,470 P-6 RS coupes. It probably was less than that. Rumble seat cars cost more than trunk cars, and 38 was a recession year so I suspect people were less likely to pay extra for a rumble seat. Also, rumble seats were pretty much gone by WW2 and there weren\'t many produced in the late-30s. It\'s anybody\'s guess how many are left. BTW, I said above that they didn\'t put rumble seats in non-Deluxe cars. Apparently that is incorrect, at least for 37s - I found a production number of 540 for 1937 P-3 \"Business\" (standard) RS coupes. That Florida abortion can be seen at http://www.daararacing.com/larrylarivee.html. In the builder\'s own words, \"The car was a perfectly good P-6 1938 Plymouth rumble seat car that could have been restored\". I\'m no purist restorer but there must be a special place in hell for assholes like that who cut up such a rare car. |
