1934 Plymouth

Ralph's scan

As 1934 opened, Plymouth replaced the successful PD and PCXX models with a new
PE Deluxe model and a new standard PF model.

The hood ornament featured a sailing ship for the first time. The hood sides were an
odd mix of louvers in the front and vertically stacked doors at the rear.

A unique, one year only, feature on these cars was a front window frame that had a vent window.
When the vent window was closed the whole frame, vent window included, could be rolled down.
When the vent window was open only the main window glass rolled down.

These are also the first Plymouth models that placed the instrument cluster in front of the driver
rather than in the center of the dash. The body itself was more rounded than the 1933 models
but still featured classic early 1930s styling. The combination of classic styling and independent
front suspension makes this car unique.

Plymouth learned in 1933 that the public wanted a full sized, full featured car. This was provided
in 1934 by the PE and PF models. Unfortunately with items like the independent front suspension
and unique window riser mechanism the price point moved up too much. For this reason, a "special"
PG stripped of these features was introduced later in the year for those buyers more interested in
thrift rather than features.
