THE PLYMOUTH COMMERCIAL
Introduced by Chrysler in 1928 as a sub-brand below Dodge and its flagship namesake marque, Plymouth offered stylish, if practical, vehicles at low cost. Initially powered exclusively by straight fours, Chrysler spent $9 million on research and development before releasing a new six cylinder for Plymouth and the rest of its brand portfolio.
In 1937 to add to its burgeoning car production, Plymouth introduced a commercial vehicle line which it did generally in response to its dealer network, who when not tagged to a Dodge agency felt they needed a utilitarian product. Aesthetically it owed a lot to the contemporary passenger cars of that year, but in reality they were their own in terms of content. It sat on a slightly extended 116 inch wheelbase as opposed to the standard chassis, while retained the same engine albeit slightly detuned.
THE CAR OFFERED
This light commercial from Plymouth is finished in a subtle combination of black with dark maroon accent features to the hood and waist molding, the deck lid and side panels, as well as the wheels. The interior mirrors the exterior with black fabric trim, a grey cord headliner and the dashboard painted in the same maroon, and this is enhanced with a wood rimmed steering wheel.
In the present ownership since 2017, the Plymouth has been enjoyed in its home state of Maine, where it has been a fun foil to the modern cars on the road, drawing admiring looks wherever it has travelled.
