Vehicle Description

The 1936 Plymouth P2 Sedan stands as a charming monument to pre-war American resilience and Art Deco design. Produced during a period when the automobile industry was finding its footing after the depths of the Depression, the P2 offered a level of style and engineering that punched well above its weight class. With its swept-back radiator grille, bullet-shaped headlamps, and curvaceous fender lines, it captures the aesthetic optimism of the mid-1930s. It was a machine built for the American family—sturdy, reliable, and possessed of a dignified presence that has only improved with the passage of time. The cocktail only gets more potent when you lift the butterfly hood to reveal the mechanical simplicity that made Plymouth a household name. Power is provided by the numbers-matching 201-cubic-inch L-head inline-six engine. Known for its durability and smooth operation, this powerplant has recently benefited from a comprehensive rebuild, ensuring it is ready for the next chapter of its life. It sends power to the rear wheels via a floor-mounted three-speed manual transmission, offering a tactile and engaging driving experience that transports the operator directly back to a bygone era of motoring. The example offered here is a four-door Touring Sedan finished in a classic Black lacquer. The exterior presentation is described as a "sympathetic" preservation; while the paint retains a deep gloss and the chrome brightwork is in good order, it proudly displays the fine patina of history, rated as an 8 out of 10. This honest character is further evidenced by the running board rubber, which appears original to the car and shows the cracking expected of unrestored vintage materials. In stark contrast, the interior has been completely redone in a high-quality tan simulated mohair. Rated at a 9.5 out of 10, the cabin presents virtually as new, offering passengers a comfortable and immaculate vantage point from which to watch the world go by. However, the true value of this Plymouth lies not in its mechanics or its mohair, but in its extraordinary provenance. This vehicle has been owned by the same family since it rolled off the assembly line in 1936, having been originally purchased by the current owner’s wife’s great-grandfather. It is an unbroken chain of custody rarely seen in the collector car world. With just 97,000 original miles and accompanied by a file of receipts and vintage ownership documents, this P2 is a fully sorted runner that starts immediately and drives well. Whether serving as a distinguished carriage for weddings or a conversation piece at local car shows, it offers a tangible connection to family history that money simply cannot buy.
