The introduction of a lower-price line Plymouth to compete head-on with Ford and Chevrolet, helped Chrysler Corporation weather the Depression years of the early 1930s. By the time this 1941 Plymouth Special Deluxe Coupe was made, Plymouth's standard power unit was a 201.3 cubic inch side valve six producing a maximum of 87 bhp. The P12 Special Deluxe was Plymouth's top-of-the range series, boasting no fewer than nine different body styles for 1941. That same year a Plymouth sedan would claim its place in motoring history when it became the first car to be driven from Detroit, Michigan to the tip of South America, an often-perilous journey of 15,745 miles that took eight months, substantiating their reputation of durability. 201.3 cubic in six-cylinder engine 3-speed manual transmission Factory AM radio and clock Wide whitewall tires Recent service and sorting with receipts Desirable Special Deluxe Coupe Runs and drives great The elegant soft Blue color on this coupe helps highlight its beautiful art deco styling.
