History: Fun, Action, Thrills ­­­ Find them in a Plymouth! That was the new message Plymouth was sending to customers. The Plymouth PJ was offered in a variety of configurations for 1935. Seen here as a two door business coupe, it was also offered as a 4 door and a rumble seat coupe. The 1935 model was remarkable, as the new design featured 4 wheel hydraulic brakes and was purported to use 20% less gasoline.

The car: The product of an older nut and bolt restoration, the deep black with contrasting red accents set this Plymouth apart from the 350,000 other PJ’s produced. The dark paint displays how laser straight the metal body is below its shine. The mohair interior shows only light use and is fit for this pre­war relic. The engine and engine bay have been restored and returned to the factory condition. A great parade car or a car show delight, this Plymouth is a pristine example of pre­war engineering.

While it wasn't rare when new, it certainly is now. I could see this hitting the estimated price, maybe even a little more. It's definitely a gorgeous car.

Those skirts don't get it for me. :hmmm:

They're not my cup of tea either, but neither are most prewar cars... so I didn't nitpick.

I can't think of a single prewar car I'd actually want to own offhand. I like to look at them now and again, and recognize their importance, but in my garage? Nope. Thanks anyhow.
