Advertised as the "One For `41", the P12 Special Deluxe was Plymouth's premier product in 1941 and enjoyed great success due to the solid reputation of its marque. Plymouth in those days maintained a conservative attitude toward styling and engineering, concentrating instead on offering solid value for the money. For much of its life, Plymouth was one of the top-selling American automobile brands Plymouth, Chevrolet and Ford were commonly referred to as the "low-priced three" marques in the American market. Through 1956, Plymouth vehicles were known for their durability, affordability and engineering.
The Special Deluxe came in two- or four-door sedans, business coupes, auxiliary seat coupes, convertible coupes with full rear, station wagons and two long-wheelbase sedans, in seven-passenger and limousine form.
The 1941 Plymouth was an improved 1940 model. The styling was nicely updated with an almost heart-shaped grille and "speedline" fenders with modest bright embellishment. 1941 marked the first use of stainless-steel fender beading bumper end 'wingtips' and center Superguards, which helped alleviate the possibility of the guard interfering with the opening and closing of the deck lid. A front opening, alligator-type hood replaced the butterfly type of years past and at long last the battery was moved underneath the hood from its position under the driver's seat. To justify slightly higher prices than Ford and Chevy, Plymouth rode a slightly longer 117-inch wheelbase.
This is truly the best Plymouth we have seen. It benefits from a total frame off, nut and bolt restoration. Everything is better than it was from the factory. This is a must see, and would be a wonderful addition to any collection.
