Post World War II Plymouth



The Plymouth P15 began production immediately after World War II and was built virtually unchanged from 1946 through 1948, as the low-priced nameplate in the Chrysler Corp. lineup. It was offered in Deluxe and Special Deluxe trim, with manual transmission and an inline 3.6 liter 6 cylinder engine as the only available powertrain.  The P15 Plymouth is a large car by today's standards measuring nearly 197 inches in length with a 117-inch wheelbase. In 1946 a Plymouth DeLuxe sedan sold for $1,124. This example was found in Falkland, N.C.
