Fresh project 37 Dodge and a pretty solid one.Most likely another gasser type car.Missing a few items,rear 1/4 window garish moldings,vent window frames and the lower track for the door glass.

Has a rebuilt flatty 6 and 3spd looking for a new home.

Are the missing parts the same on a 38 or 37-38 Plymouth?

For the most part, Dodge cars are bigger then the Plymouth. Dodge & Chrysler shared some parts, and Desoto & Plymouth shared some parts. I suspect the Dodge doors are longer then Plymouth doors would be.

Now, hopefully for you, someone will tell both of us my info is wrong. Gene

according to my hollander, the door glass [which is listed as "vent type"] fits 37-38 chrysler bus. & sport coupe,desoto 37-38 bus. & sport coupe, 37-38 dodge bus. & sport coupe, and 37-39 plymouth bus. & sport coupe. the vent window glass fits the same applications as well as the windsheild. the back glass and the 1/4 window glass is not listed. so that, to my mind anyway, would indicate those glass parts would interchange as well. the roof panels, however, show 37 chrysler C14 &16,desoto S3[all coupes],dodge D5, and plymouth P3 &4 coupes as interchanging. in 38 it shows stationary windshield and swinging windshield with all fitting except plymouth. the doors in 37 & 38 show all business coupes interchange with all chrysler, dodge desoto and plymouth but note that the "ventless" doors will also fit. hope this has been useful info to some one and i hope i read the book correctly.

I don't take as many pics as I should.Body was off and the chassis redone with a 8.75 rear along with rebuilding the factory front axle.Engine,4speed mounted.I am wiring it right now and should be ready to fire it up in a week or so and test drive it as long as the winter weather holds off.Sorta going after a 60s gasser look.

I was watching Dallas Car Sharks and a 38 Plymouth came across the action block. It got bought and was part of the show. The clown who bought it kept insisting it was an all aluminum car and it was worth a lot of money.

Yeah, I owned a 38 Plymouth, only aluminum in that car was the can holding my beer.

But I sure wished mine looked as nice as your Dodge does.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I was liking how this build was going till I seen this picture.
I understand how it is "CHEAPER" to go chevy but it's just sad that another Mopar will be out there with a bellybutton motor.
a mopar deserves a mopar in it in my Opinion. shruggy

maybe someone will buy it and put a mopar in it
I doubt it but I can hope.....

Like I said Ron in your facebook post that was deleted by the guy that runs the page, better to be back on the road then sitting for who knows how long rusting back into the earth? I wasn't always a mopar guy and still have gobs of gm stuff that needs to be used up and not sit on a shelf forever,sorry but I am a hot rodder not a purist like many and use whatever I have available and if its gm in a mopar so be it.I still feel its open season on any pre 1950s car or truck as far as the drivetrain goes.
