'32 Plymouth Roadster

[W-409]

Is there a Resin Body or Resin Kit available of '32 Plymouth. I prefer Roadster, but Coupe can be turned into Roadster too. I know that there are few 1/32 scale kits, but I'd need one in 1/24 or 1/25 scale.

If there are no resin conversions, maybe needs to make one from '32 Ford.

Other than Fords , Veteren Vehicles are taboo for the kit makers . Even the Fords have missing links . What's so wrong with a '35 (last year for wire wheels) , a '41 /'42 ? The '55 nor the '52&'54's , '58's and quite many more . The '50's cars originally , yes . Thanx ..

Closest is AMT's '36 Mod Stocker, which won't work because it's modified into a race car, and the '32 was a totally different design. Reworking a Ford body might be the way to go.

Niko, here's a resin caster that has some pretty unique 30's bodies (not stock,but maybe a starting point?), but no '32 Plymouth:

Thanks Guys!

I'd like to build a Replica of this:

Not maybe 100% accurate copy, but pretty close one though. That car is nowadays here in Finland, and I think that's great!

This is the closet I know of. I believe he is not casting right now though. FRW has a similar body but alas, he is not taking orders either!

This is what I did with Fred's...

Is the '32 & '34 Body the same . I found a 1932 Plymouth Coupe in resin . Go to <rocketfin.com> . At the bottom of the page click 'Model Car Links' . Find and click resins search . I entered 1966 Plymouth . I found this body on Page #2 . Now , where can I find a 1966 Plymouth Satellite ? Thanx ..

Thanks Guys! Needs to look if I can get one, and see what they cost. If I can't find them anywhere else, maybe eBay helps.

The '33 and '34 Plymouths are very similar, but the '32 is a different, slightly older looking design. I'm just finishing the metal work on this '33 coupe, which is why I'm pretty certain the '32 is different. I was going to suggest Fred's '33-34 coupe body as a starting point, but they're just not close enough. Probably easier modifying a styrene Ford.

Now that I think of it, an AMT '34 Ford 5-window might work as a starting point, too.

That '33 sure is PURTY Bill!

Is it just me, or do the old Plymouth, Dodge, and Chryslers of the 30s have nicer lines than Fords & Chevys of the same era?

Why don't we see more of these 1:1s??? (or kits/resin for that matter?)

[W-409]

Oh, thanks for the information. Yes, they are bit different when looking pictures again. Needs to look what needs to be changed if I take a Ford on the bench.

The car you showed is highly modified. I'm currently building a traditional hot rod using a good original roadster body. Here's a picture of a restored '32 Model PB Plymouth roadster. You can see that it differs a lot from the car in your picture and the '33 shown above. The Plymouth differs significantly from the Ford. The hood runs all the way to the base of the windshield, for example. The front edge of the suicide doors are sloped a lot, and the rear of the body is shaped differently. Good luck on your build!

[W-409]

Oh yes, it's far away from Factory Stock, and I'm building Model of that car, when I get this started. So I'm gonna use that one as reference, it's the famous Art Russell Plymouth, but today it is located here in Finland! Reference pictures are possible to get and luckily V8 Magazine just released an article of that car.

Thanks, Robert!

I have read this post with great interest and i know that i could easily scratch build a body for a 32 Plymouth if i was given the

pricise dimensions. I have done quite a few over the years more out of necessity than anything else for the simple fact that it is almost

impossible to find model kits that are not Ford or Willys Based in the early 30's style !

Being a member of the Chrysler Family i think your best choice would be to use the MPC Connisuer Classics 1932 Chrysler Roadster,

i have one of these kits and while its not the same as a 32 Plymouth it is a lot closer than using a Ford because as Looker posted,

the bonnet extends all the way to the windscreen on a 32 Plymouth just like the 32 Chrysler Roadster !
