Automobile, 1937 Plymouth 5-Window Coupe. The auto industry had a big year in 1937. Safety glass became mandatory in automobiles and GM recognized the AUW. Across the pond in Nazi Germany, Volkswagen was founded by the German Labor Front. Born was the VW Type 1. The Bug. Designed as the "Peoples Car" it still seems to have that focus. Compact and economical. All these events had major influence on the US auto industry. WWII was on the horizon and the US auto manufacturing was about to slide into a 7 year slump. Cars that were produced before WWII ended up having to extend their use through those years. It's significant that not many survived in the superb original condition like this one. This 1937 Plymouth P4 5-window coupe is an excellent survivor. It comes with its original inline 6-cyl flathead @ 201.3ci with 82hp. It still glistens in paint code 101 black. This is an all original car with original VG condition interior. Only the master cylinder, fuel pump, rotor, points, distributor cap and battery have been replaced. A new gas tank is on order and should be installed by auction time. Starts and runs well. Odometer shows 33,764 miles. VIN #10420052. Sold new between $600-$900. About 67,000 of these were produced. Average household income was $1,780. A new car cost about one third of that. Hmmm, times have changed!
