190ci L-Head Inline 6 Engine Single Downdraft Carter Carburetor 70bhp at 3,600rpm 3-Speed Manual Transmission 4-Wheel Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring Suspension 4-Wheel Hydraulic Drum Brakes *Range-topping Plymouth model *Rarely seen *Nice, older restoration *Perfect for family drives THE PLYMOUTH PD Introduced by Chrysler in 1928 as a sub-brand below Dodge and its flagship namesake marque, Plymouth offered stylish, if practical, vehicles at low cost. Initially powered exclusively by straight fours, Chrysler spent $9 million on research and development before releasing a new six cylinder for Plymouth and the rest of its brand portfolio. At first debuting in late 1932 as a model year 1933 in the Plymouth Model PC, the car's homely looks virtually matched that of the outgoing four-cylinder PB it replaced and sales were slow. Seeking a quick, relatively inexpensive solution, the PC was dramatically restyled. The result was a success. Slightly longer than the car it replaced, it featured more aggressive frontend styling to go with the two extra pots under the hood and additional chrome trim optionally available. The update was a resounding success with sales sky rocketing and Plymouth zooming up to third nationally in car sales. THE MOTOR CAR OFFERED The PD line started with the reasonably priced 2-door Business Coupe at $495, but at the other end of was the range-topping Convertible Coupe that cost an extra Benjamin and started at $595. Loaded with options, this PD Convertible Coupe is fitted with 17-inch painted wire wheels, loads of optional chrome, the 'Flying Lady" radiator mascot, and plenty more. At currently, little early history is known about this lovely Convertible, but it had been in the Northeast for some time. Understood to have been restored 15 to 20 years ago, it shows nicely today with plenty of character. Relatively uncommon when new—only 4,596 of the 195,154 PDs built were Convertible Coupes—they are exceedingly uncommon today with even fewer survivors remaining in unmodified condition as the car proved to be popular with hotrodders. Perfect for family drives or AACA tours, this lovely machine is certainly worth an extra look!
