1941 Plymouth 60’s era C/GS

[R. Thorne]

This build was done as a possible bare bones competitor to the Moody & Jones 1937 Chevy Nationals winning car.  I had built a (unfinished, as a lot of mine are) model of this car a few years ago.  I knew Sam Jones (rip) in the seventies and hung out at his speed shop about 30 miles from me.  Anyway, when I was 15 or so in 1962, I looked at a 1941 Plymouth coupe in a barnyard for sale for $50.00 and almost bought it to build for C/GS.  I realized I couldn’t afford it and built a StockEliminator car (1953 Oldsmobile) instead.  I put some 3 mm double sided tape on it to hold the hood on.

Like the theme and the paint job looks great. Looks good alongside of the Moody & Jones car.

It looks great ? just like an old gasser should. That’s a beautiful paint job by the way.

Great looking old gasser! Nice paint, and great color.

Couple of nice looking old school drag cars.

I had actually along on the WIP on this one.  The results are fantastic.  The Moody-Jones car is super cool as well.
