1941 Plymouth P12 Woodie - No Sale at $99,500

A major change came with the wagon offerings of 1941. For the first time the buyer had his choice of finishes to be applied to the outer wood work.

The frame was made of white ash but the wood work panels could be finished in either white maple or Honduras mahogany.

The base price was up slightly at $1,031 each.

Perhaps the impending war clouds in Europe aided sales--or the economy's upswing or both--wagon sales increased to 5,594 units on the Deluxe P12 chassis with an additional 217 mounted on the P11 chassis.

The example presented here is a Special Deluxe P12 finished in butterscotch yellow over brown interior with White Maple and Honduras Mahogany trim in perfect condition.

The fitment on the doors and panels could not be better and the car is currently stored in a protected environment in the dry Santa Barbara CA region.

Recent work includes brand new tires and brakes, along with meticulous and accurate service.

This woody is completely original including the �big floating power� six-cylinder flat head engine, developing a whopping 87 horsepower and there is a fan!

It is also equiped with the ultra rare optional Powermatic Vacuum Assist Transmission.

The padded vinyl top has just been completed in black correct vinyl ordered from Nick Alexander.

Driving Impression:

Once I understood how to operate the 3 speed on the tree, driving became a lot of fun and the car was very responsive and extremely smooth.

All the doors, including the trunk close perfectly and there is no rattle noise or funny sounds even at high speed.

Meticulously kept in Southern California and part of a multi-car collection, �Woodrow� that�s his name, can be qualified as a fantastic buy and a value at just under $100,000.

Our multiple images will best describe the looks and incredible condition of this rare woody; we invite questions and comments.

There is absolutely no rust or corrosion anywhere.
