Contrary to popular belief, the Plymouth brand was not named after Plymouth rock. Rather, the name was coined by then-Chrysler executive Joe Frazer after Plymouth binder twine, which was seen to be sturdy, reliable, and low-priced. Plymouth was created to be Chrysler's budget car brand. Fast forward to the current era, and vintage Plymouths in pristine order fetch far more than they ever did brand-new. Of course, they also make great restomod platforms, such as this 1937 Plymouth Deluxe that bears just 6,500 miles after a comprehensive restoration. It's not an all-out restomod, but it retains the classic Thirties design, with some tasteful upgrades here and there.
Exterior and Interior
Clothed in a matte black paint job, this 1937 Plymouth Deluxe showcases the typical Thirties profile that's been popularized by the gangster films of yesteryear. Looking closer, you'd notice the rear-hinged coach doors for back seat access and the podded headlamps. The car rolls on a set of black 15-inch rims shod with modern Cooper tires, reportedly new as per the current owner. The interior is similarly tasteful, retaining much of the period cues of this 1937 Plymouth Deluxe, melded with modern conveniences where required. The current owner reports that the seats have been upholstered and covered with Indian blanket covers. The vintage dash remains, with new retro-styled gauges installed ahead of the driver. Ahead of the passenger and beneath the glovebox lies a modern Kenwood head unit with radio, CD, AUX, and USB connectivity options. Gaze upwards, and you can see that the roof has been lined with Cool It Thermo Tec to help keep the interior cool when the sun is out.
Engine
This 1937 Plymouth Deluxe appears to have a V8 engine displacing 257ci, as we are told. Drive goes to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The current owner reports that the car has been upgraded with power steering and power brakes to make it easier to drive. Riding on leaf springs and shock absorbers, it's best to enjoy the cruise and turn heads wherever you go.
One of those historically significant automotive names, Plymouth was not only named after the famous rock, but also a brand of binder’s twine. Sadly this marque is no more, but they gave us some epic models such as the Roadrunner, Fury, Barracuda and more. Today, we have something a bit older, something from their 1940s collection. This 1950 Plymouth P20 Special Deluxe Convertible Restomod is part of the Plymouth De Luxe line that ran between 1933 and 1942, and again from 1946 to 1950. These full-sized cars came in various body styles, and this particular 40,928-mile machine is a lovely drop-top. It’s got a beige electrically operated convertible top, a newer 350ci V8, an automatic gearbox and more things to make every drive even sweeter.
The 1934 Plymouth coupe holds iconic status in automotive history due to its combination of innovative design, improved engineering, affordability, and widespread popularity. Its sleek and streamlined styling, influenced by the Art Deco movement, set it apart from its competitors and showcased a forward-thinking approach. The Plymouth Coupe holds an esteemed place in hot rod culture due to its timeless styling, availability, and customization potential. Its classic design serves as a canvas for hot rod enthusiasts to express their creativity and individuality through modifications, and the vehicle in question is one such example. With a complete makeover, unique is putting it lightly. The car is in sublime condition, and you can almost guarantee that you won't find anything else like this for sale.
During the Great Depression, as well as World War II, automakers were facing severe issues and shortages. This led to many going on hiatus in the critical years. That’s why you’ll find that Plymouth’s De Luxe range, initially introduced in 1933 would see production ceased from 1942 to 1946. Of course, they updated the design, as well as certain mechanical aspects when production resumed. This 1948 Plymouth De Luxe Station Wagon Woody is from that second window of production, and reflects a time when the war was over, and people were full of hope for a better future. With just 91 miles since a full restoration, it’s a great classic to add to your collection, and drive on weekends for all to enjoy.
This 1974 Plymouth Road Runner Pro Street Supercharged is a purpose-built street-and-strip muscle car combining classic Mopar styling with serious drag racing hardware. Originally a 340ci V8, this Road Runner has been transformed with a professionally built and balanced big block powerplant featuring a Dyer’s Machine Blower Company supercharger system, dual Holley carburetors, and an estimated 800 horsepower output. Designed for high-performance driving, it pairs its supercharged engine with a reverse-pattern 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, Detroit Locker differential, 4-link rear suspension, and Mickey Thompson ET Street tires. Finished in a vibrant Lime Green exterior with a competition-inspired setup including a full roll cage, racing harnesses, and upgraded chassis components, this Pro Street build represents the classic era of American horsepower taken to an extreme level.
Before the GTX and Road Runner took over Plymouth’s performance image, the Satellite was the B-body sleeper that could be ordered with Chrysler’s most feared street engine. This 1966 Plymouth Satellite 426 HEMI 4 Speed shows approximately 25,134 miles and combines a black-on-black presentation with the legendary dual-quad 426 Street HEMI, a four-speed manual, Dana 60 rear axle, and Sure Grip differential. The current owner reports that it is one of of only 502 Hemi's produced, making this a seriously rare early HEMI-era Mopar with the kind of specification collectors and true muscle-car enthusiasts immediately recognize.
The Plymouth Road Runner was introduced for buyers who wanted one thing above all else: performance. By stripping away unnecessary luxury features and focusing on big-block power, Plymouth created one of the most successful muscle cars of the era. This 1968 Plymouth Road Runner Hardtop Coupe shows 57,801 miles and is powered by the legendary 383ci Magnum V8, making it a textbook example of the formula that made the Road Runner a household name among enthusiasts. Finished in an eye-catching green exterior over a white vinyl interior, this first-year Road Runner embodies the no-nonsense attitude that helped establish the model as one of the most iconic muscle cars of the late 1960s.
