I'm looking for a 1/24 scale 1946-48 Plymouth coupe resin body

Are you the Jim Thorton from the "Ramchargers" That built the 'High and Mighty' car? The only body I can think of is  a 1/24th diecast out about 10 years ago I believe it was done as Lee Petty's car no 42?. If anyone has a better memory, feel free to chime in and correct me here!

The many times reissued AMT Plymouth coupe might give you a good starting point. You would have to create the Grill, but I think everything else would work fine.

You've posted to the wrong forum.  You should be in "WANTED" a little further down the main page.  Good luck with your hunt.

There is a '47 coupe in resin, I picked one up a couple of years ago.  Vic's Resins.  Not very good however, a few air bubbles in the molded-in grille detail.  Body is very thick in a few areas.  Mine was pulled off of the mold before being fully cured, front clip is a bit higher than it should be.

Roof is unchanged from the '41 that was used as a starting point for the conversion.  The '47 I see locally has a slightly different roofline, but maybe there were two coupes in those years.

The subject matter deserves a better one IMO...
