This 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe business coupe has been customized with a modified roofline, a reupholstered interior, chrome wheels, and a lowered suspension. Under the hood, the 217ci flathead inline-6 has been upgraded with custom headers and an Offenhauser intake, and power is sent to the rear via a replacement 4-speed 700R4 automatic transmission. The seller states that the vehicle has comfortable driving dynamics, optimal panel fitment, and show-quality gloss finishes. Finished in Tuxedo Black over a neutral-tone interior with gray cloth, white trim, and chrome accents, this Special Deluxe is now offered with a clear Texas title in the seller’s name.
The Deluxe full-sized sedan received a new generation in 1946 with two trim levels and a variety of option packaging. This Special Deluxe from the subsequent year was positioned as a higher-trim model and underwent customization including a chopped, lowered, and repainted body in Tuxedo Black. The headlights and marker lights were frenched in, the glass was replaced, and a custom dual exhaust system was been added at the rear. The bumpers, grille slats, and side moldings provide accenting brightwork and are noted to be in good condition.
Chrome-finished smooth wheels are mounted to Ironman tires with good tread remaining. The suspension has been lowered for a raked stance and improved handling.
The interior displays a two-tone black and white theme and has been customized with replacement gray cloth bench upholstery, a new headliner, a pearl white dash with chrome accents, and black carpeting. The factory three-spoke ivory-colored steering wheel remains installed, and side windows are manual-crank style.
Instrumentation is centered around a predominant 100-mph speedometer, a center-dash-mounted analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 2,400 miles, although true mileage on the chassis is unknown.
The rebuilt 217ci flathead inline-6 was rated at 95 horsepower from the factory and is upgraded with an Offenhauser intake, dual carburetors, and custom headers. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a column-shifted replacement 4-speed 700R4 automatic transmission.
