"Plymouths of the era are readily identified by their sailing ship hood ornament."
The name of that sailing ship is "Mayflower".

1941 Plymouth Special DeLuxe Club Coupe. Plymouth enjoyed a very successful sales year in 1941 producing 546,000 cars. Plymouth was a solid third in the Industry and Chrysler's bread & butter car. Plymouth for '41, with its almost heart-shaped chrome grille, was a very handsome car by pre-war standards, especially the club coupe, like the cream-colored beauty in Ken's photograph. 37,352 of these Special DeLuxe Club Coupes were built. They sold new for $ 842. They all featured anew Chrysler engineering first....the Safety-Rim Wheel...witha beaded circumference that prevented tire loss in a blowout. Also, in 1941, batteries were moved to a position under the hood for the first time. Plymouth for 1941 offered "Powermatic" shift, a vacuum-transmission assist. These Plymouths rode a 117.5 inch wheelbase and were powered by a 201.3 cubic inch in-line six rated at 87 horsepower.
Plymouths were known for their economy and dependability and were considered by many to be the most soundly engineered car of the "low price three". Plymouths of the era are readily identified by their sailing ship hood ornament.
The 1941 Plymouth in Ken's photograph sparkles under the lights. It is so refreshing to see these pre-war cars restored to their former showroom glory. So few are left that have been restored to the original way they left the factory. All facets of the classic car hobby are great, but I have a special respect for those individuals who painstakingly return these wonderful machines to their original stock condition, especially these automotive treasures that are over 60 and 70 years old.
