The Plymouth Deluxe Models PJ, P2, P4 and P6 produced under the Plymouth brand in the model years 1935-1939.
History
The model PJ - a model name for all equipment lines this year - was completely redesigned. The wheelbase of the new X-frame was uniformly 2870 mm. The bodies were rounder and there were now also limousines with separate trunk, called "touring limousines". The doors were now hinged in front rather than behind. The performance of the 3.3-liter engine increased to 82 bhp (60 kW).
1936 appeared the Deluxe, model P2. The car was again redesigned - chassis and sheet thicknesses differed fundamentally - but looked similar to the model PJ of the previous year. So, the customers felt this only as a facelift.
The 1937 model P4 had a 1 "smaller wheelbase (2845 mm), but the bodies were longer than last year. The radiator grille was a bit more rounded and looked with his centre bar not dissimilar to the contemporary BMW models.
1938 appeared the model P6, whose fenders were pulled even further forward. Overall, the vehicles made a squat impression, which did not go down well with the audience. Just in this jubilee year (10 years Plymouth) broke the sales figures, although the new model now safety glass around and in the dashboard for security reasons countersunk switch offered.
