1936 Plymouth P2

During the mid-1930s, Plymouth competed in the same market segment as other low priced cars such as Ford, Chevrolet, and Nash Lafayette. In addition to convertibles and commercial vehicles, the Plymouth line consisted of both two- and four-door models available either with or without a built-in trunk. Style-conscious buyers of the day preferred the more modern look of the built-in trunk and sales of such models outstripped those of the trunkless variety by a margin of twenty to one. Plymouths built for domestic sales were equipped with a 201 cubic-inch straight-six engine rated at 82 horsepower.
