I WOULD ENCOURAGE SERIOUS BIDDERS TO CONTACT ME AT 702-651-1932 MON THROUGH FRI 9 TIL 5. PICTURES ARE BELOW THE DESCRIPTION THERE IS A LINK TO A VIDEO OF THE CAR DRIVING BELOW THE DESCRIPTION.  HERES A NICE LITTLE EARLY 1949 P15 BUSINESS COUPE. IT HAS A CLEAR TITLE. I BELIEVE UNTIL MARCH OF 1949 PLYMOUTH STILL USED THE EARLIER DESIGN. THIS CAR STARTS, STOPS, RUNS AND DRIVES. I WOULD STILL CONSIDER IT A PROJECT THOUGH. ILL START WITH THE EXTERIOR. THE FADED DARK BLUE PAINT HAS NEAR PERFECT PATINA. THE ORIGINAL GREEN COLOR IS VISIBLE ON THE ROOF AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS.  OLD GREY PRIMER COVERS SOME EARLIER BODY WORK TO THE FENDERS. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FENDER HAS A TEAR AT THE TOP OF THE WHEEL WELL. ALL THE CHROME AND STAINLESS ARE IN ORIGINAL UNRESTORED CONDITION.  THERE ARE SOME DINGS AND SCRATCHES PRESENT. THE DOOR GLASS IS CRACKED, THE REST OF THE GLASS HOWEVER LOOKS GOOD. REGARDING THE EXTERIOR THE PICTURES PRETTY MUCH SPEAK  FOR THEMSELVES. NOW FOR THE INTERIOR. EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY ORIGINAL. THE DASH HAS ORIGINAL FADED AND SCRATCHED WOOD GRAIN PAINT. THE GARNISH MOULDINGS HAVE BEEN PAINTED BLUE. THE HEAD LINER IS ORIGINAL AND HAS A TEAR. I FEEL IT NEEDS A COMPLETE NEW INTERIOR. THE FRONT FLOOR BOARDS  ARE RUSTY. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS THE WORST. I TRIED TO PICTURE THE RUST IN THE PHOTOS TO MAKE IT CLEAR THE FRONT FLOORS NEED SHEETMETAL REPAIR. THE ONLY WORKING GAUGES ARE THE OIL AND WATER TEMP. THE STEERING WHEEL IS INCORRECT. IT IS FOR A DODGE. INCLUDED WITH THE SALE OF THE CAR IS A CRACKED ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL AND HORN RING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SHORTENED THE ORIGINAL STEERING COLUMN. HE TOOK IT TO A WELDER HAD THE SHAFT CUT, SHORTENED, THEN JOINED  THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER  WITH A PRESS FIT SLEEVE.BOTH ENDS OF THE SLEEVE WERE WELDED. THEN IT WAS DRILLED AND PLUG WELDED.  THIS WAS DONE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO THE DASH FOR MORE SEAT ROOM. WE HAVE A STOCK COLUMN THAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE OF THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE CAR OPERATES FINE WITH THE CURRENT COLUMN. ON TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE 215 FLATHEAD SIX ENGINE IS FROM A LATER MODEL PLYMOUTH. THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS RECENTLY SURFACED AND HAS A NEW COPPER GASKET. THE WATER PUMP (ALTHOUGH RUSTY DUE TO LACK OF PAINT) IS ALSO NEW. THE FUEL PUMP IS NEW AND THE CARB WAS REBUILT. I AM NOT SURE OF THE MILAGE ON THE ENGINE. IT RUNS GOOD AND STARTS RIGHT UP. THE TRANSMISSION IS A BORG WARNER THREE SPEED OVERDRIVE UNIT THAT CAME WITH THE ENGINE. IT IS IN ORIGINAL WORKING CONDITION AND WORKS FINE. THE OVERDRIVE IS NOT HOOKED UP. YOU WOULD NEED TO WIRE THE SOLENOID AND RUN A HAND OPERATED CABLE FROM THE DASH BOARD TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO 12 VOLT. THE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WORK. THE ENGINE HAS A ONE WIRE ALTERNATOR INSTALLED INSTEAD OF A GENERATOR. THE WIRING IS OLD BUT FUNCTIONAL. I WOULD CONSIDER REWIRING THE CAR. WE SELL A NICE 9 CIRCUIT KIT IN OUR STORE FOR $150. THE RADIATOR IN NEW. THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN RIGHT AROUND 160 TO 170  DEGREES ACCORDING TO THE GAUGE. THE BRAKES ARE ORIGINAL AND WHILE A LITTLE SPONGY STOP THE CAR OK. INCLUDED WITH THE SALE ARE REBUILD KITS FOR THE WHEEL CYLINDERS AND NEW BRAKE HOSES. THE TIRES ARE OLD AND CRACKED BUT HOLD AIR. I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THE CAR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES. I URGE SERIOUS BIDDERS TO CALL ME AT OUR SHOP  TO DISCUSS THE CAR OVER THE PHONE.(702) 651-1932 IT IS A CUTE PROJECT CAR THAT RUNS AND DRIVES. I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT CROSS COUNTRY IN ITS CURRENT STATE. I HAVE DRIVEN IT ACROSS TOWN THOUGH WITH NO PROBLEMS. I CAN HELP WITH SHIPPING JUST CONTACT ME. WE CAN ALSO HAUL IT TO LOS ANGELES FOR A FEE.
