Here is a bit of inspiration for our up and coming full features film...


Although not a '41 this video demonstrates the 1937 Plymouth.  Many of the same features!

 More Chrysler footage...  "From caveman to Chrysler".   The last few seconds feature the 1941 Plymouth!

Some internet resources on the Plymouth in the 1940s.

...and on the L-Head 6.

Look at the worn outside!  All the way down to the belts.  The front end appears to be quite fine now, and steers like a dream.  We'll include a front picture soon to show it's current perky stance...


Door handles and chrome.
Some miscellaneous booty; chrome, door handles, fog lamp, switches, and archeological artifacts.

Comfy backseat armrests made from formed wood fibre.
Not much is missing that is obvious; a rear window, window crank, and a single fog lamp.
