1941 Plymouth Super Deluxe Business Coupe


Thanks to Matt Dallett for the heads-up on this:

From Portland Press-Herald:
"A rosary on the dashboard. A stuffed frog in the rear window. A little American flag. These mementos were in the 1941 Plymouth Super Deluxe Business Coupe when Kaja Veilleux looked inside for the first time. The car – and, presumably, the frog – once belonged to the late U.S. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith. Veilleux is the owner of Thomaston Place Auction Galleries, and the car was part of a private collection in a town Veilleux would not disclose. This piece of Maine history will be auctioned Sunday as part of a major summer sale at Thomaston Place with a starting bid of $7,500, but the auction house estimates it will sell for at least twice that amount..." 
Here's Jim Christy's poem about a '38 Plymouth. Here's a 1950 Plymouth coupe for sale in Idaho a few years back. Maybe our favorite coupe of the era is the '38 Ford we saw in Blue Hill Maine this summer.
