Description:
1940 Plymouth Deluxe P10 Business Coupe The use of business coupes in the 30's and 40's provided travelingsalesmen with a roomy vehicle in coupe configuration, blending inwith normal commuter cars of the era. Later, panel trucks, stationwagons, and even pickup trucks would fill a niche needed bybusinessmen who took products with them in the days when welcomingsomeone into your house through unlocked doors with no priorappointment was perfectly normal. Yeah, that was a long timeago. For consignment, a 1940 Plymouth Deluxe P10 Business Coupe, longretired from the sales workforce and now a textbook street rod withall the desirable ingredients. Flames on red paint? Check. Chromewheels? Yep. A 350ci under the hood? Absolutely. It's beencarefully maintained over the past 20 years and is ready for a newcaretaker. ExteriorBased in Bright Red, the front of the car is on fire with paintedflames that realistically flow from the bookend grilles and flowback over the wide front fenders and pointed nose, licking acrossthe entire hood. The scripted Streetrod emblem on the hood is anice touch and is underlined by the detail trim of the side vents.The enormous butt of this car is characteristic of business coupesand provides a large trunk lid and easy access to contents, allbetween the articulated fenders wearing simple taillights and nobumper. The red out back is briefly broken by the small rear windowand is accented by the twin exhaust tips protruding from thebottom. The profile of the car indicates forward momentum as theentire car appears to lean forward and its raked stance enhancesthis street rod attitude. Staggered Jegs Sport Star wheels carrystaggered size tires, a must for the consummate hot rod.Imperfections include some pitting of the door handles and hoodornament, bubbling in paint down low, some rust on the runningboard and nearby seam, scuffs, scratches, and chipped paint. InteriorGray velour door panels are neat and clean and contain vintagehardware and the material continues on the front bench seatsborrowed from a more modern car, all tidy. A 4 spoke steering wheelfront the metal dash painted aluminum color with brass rimmed andwhite faced AutoMeter gauges filling the sightline of the driver. Abillet style knob panel handles the A/C and a Pioneer AM/FM/CDradio sits just below. A Lokar shifter is tall and floor mountedover low-pile gray carpet in good condition and loosely fitted. Thegray headliner is in excellent shape and visors are intact and inplace. DrivetrainLift the top of the hood and we find the driver quality 350ci V8with a 4-barrel carburetor over an Edelbrock intake manifold.Behind it, a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that wasoverhauled in 2018, sends power to the rear 10 bolt. Heat and A/Cwere installed in 2019. Power brakes are on the car with disc upfront and drum out back. UndercarriageDriver quality conditions prevail underneath with plenty of noninvasive surface rust, some oil on the pan, and some flaking ruston an inner body bracket and inner rocker panel. There's quite abit on the underside panels as well. The dual exhaust runs throughthe X-frame and encounters Flowmaster mufflers before exiting outback. Coil spring suspension is up front with leaf springs in theback. In 2016 the springs, shocks, and a sway bar werereplaced. Drive-AbilityThe roomy interior is likely more comfortable than it was in 1940,especially with the addition of air conditioning and a radio! The350 fires up with gusto and we point the pointed nose towards thetarmac. We find a good running car that tracks well, accelerateswith no problem, and takes full advantage of the power brakes. Allitems were checked for functionality, and we found nothing thatwasn't working. While Classic Auto Mall represents that thesefunctions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannotguarantee these functions will be working at the time of yourpurchase. With classic business coupe lines, bright red paint, and of course,flames up front, this rod has all of the design cues of an Americanclassic. Your loved one can sit close to you on the bench andwhether it's a local car show or a summer night ice cream run,you'll sure to have good times in this vintage workhorse thatprobably supported a family back in the day but is now meant toparty.
