"1929 Plymouth Model U Deluxe Coupe
The Plymouth automobile was introduced at Madison Square Garden on July 7, 1928.� It was Chrysler Corporation's first entry in the low-priced field previously dominated by Chevrolet and Ford.� Plymouths were initially priced higher than the competition, but offered standard features such as internal expanding hydraulic brakes that Ford and Chevrolet did not provide.� �Plymouths were originally sold exclusively through Chrysler dealerships, offering a low-cost alternative to the upscale Chrysler-brand cars
Aside from being part of the brand's second year of existence, this 1929 Plymouth Model U for consignment marked the first year when the nameplate didn't have ""Chrysler"" officially in front of it. �It has its original wood floorboards, steel framing, all steel two tone exterior, and original interior configuration but now restored.� This car has had residence in the AACA Museum in Hershey for a time, and recently has not been run but for a few short jaunts to keep everything in working order. �Our consignor states he believes this is the only example in Pennsylvania.
Exterior
Typical of the era for car manufacturing, this car is the norm with steel cowled hood, exterior curved fenders, a front radiator cowl and single headlight on either side.� The car is painted in pale yellow paint for the hood, lower doors, and trunk, and uses black as the paint for the fenders, running boards, and roofline with some accenting on the hood's edges.� The radiator is chromed, as is the headlight bar stretching across the front of the radiator.� Also, the single large round headlights have chromed bezels and casings with a chromed dual bar bumper is below. �The trunk area of this coupe is also a rumble seat and resides under a nicely curved rear of the car line with some black accenting on the edges. �A spare tire just above the dual bar rear bumper in chrome. �The glass is all in good condition and the roofline is rust free.� This car rides on 19-inch wood spoked wheels in natural wood finish with 4.75/5.00-19 inch tires wrapping the wheels
Interior
Sporting the original layout, we are greeted with restored panels using maroon broadcloth for the padded and stitched sides which have a pocket and chromed actuators and cranks.� A bench in a tub is the front seat and only one under the roofline, and it stretches from door to door, all in maroon broadcloth with some light tuck and rolling as well as buttons on the uppers.� Maroon piping is a nice edging to the seat.� This bench floats in red carpeting in very nice condition and upfront, a slightly curved tutone pale yellow and black all steel dash is installed.� In the upper center it utilizes an oval cast Plymouth badge and below are a trio of inset rounded rectangular gauges looking the era.� There is a chromed dash light under the top and below is a choke knob.� A long armed shifter reaches for the driver and he sits behind a large black bakelite steering wheel, also original to the car.� The headliner and pillar coverings are in deep red felting and all are tear free and nice and tight. Under the trunk lid is the mother in law, (Rumble!), seat also covered in the maroon broadcloth with just tuck and roll pattern and some red carpeting for its floor.��
Drivetrain
A lift of either side of the cowled hood and we see a completely restored 175.4ci L head inline 4 cylinder engine.� It has a 1-barrel carburetor feeding it and a 3-speed manual transmission on the back.� The rear axle is 4.30. �A very nice presentation for this power plant and engine bay.
Undercarriage
Jet black rust free steel framing and black painted wood floorboards make up the undercarriage of this Art Deco driver.� A bit of chip off on the pumpkin and leaf springs, but all rust free and solid as a rock.� Noted are 4 wheel leaf springs and 4 wheel hydraulic drum brakes.� Nicely restored.
Drive-Ability
Driving a car from 1929 is not an every-day occurrence, and driving a 1929 Plymouth Model U has never happened.� I'll say it drives much like all cars from this era, has good solid braking and is comfortable to drive.� All functions were working and it was a pleasure to take one of these off of my extensive bucket list of over 750 different cars!
A rare example that has spent some time in the Hershey AACA museum and fully restored and working nicely example. �You will be the only person in your city/town that has one and maybe even the state?� �Not often seen and looking great!
