We’ve all heard of the Little Deuce Coupe (car and song) and know emphatically, that we’re talking about a 1932 Ford coupe. It was a big deal because it was a break from the old-school Model A and it was available with a brand-new flathead V8 engine. But…can that moniker be bestowed on a 1932 Plymouth convertible coupe? Yeah, sure but it will never be quite the same thing. And that’s one of the reasons that this Dahlonega, Georgia discovery, courtesy of  Zappenduster, is important – it’s not a 1932 Ford, it’s a brand and model that don’t surface any too often. Potential here? Well, let’s see, this aluminum shed find is available, here on craigslist for $5,000.

Plymouth was still a fairly new player on the domestic auto scene in ’32, having initially come together in ’28. As a lower-priced model, it was exactly what was needed during that depression-ravaged time. Surprisingly, Plymouth placed third in the ’32 domestic automobile production race with a total output of 186K copies, dropping them behind number two Ford and first-place finisher Chevrolet. Body styles were varied with the usual array of coupes, convertibles, and sedans. Our subject car, a model PB and specifically referred to as a “convertible coupe” is one of  6,400 produced that year.

The listing gives next to no details other than telling us that this Plymouth is all steel except for one rear fender. It’s hard to say what shape the body is in as the images aren’t telling but it appears to be sound. The bumpers are missing and it doesn’t look as if there is a fabric top still in place though the frame is visible. It’s the same thing with the interior, it’s in disarray with the seat yanked out and a lot of detritus blocking a clear view of what’s present and useable. It’s the same story in the rumble seat compartment too – it currently looks like a just place to throw stuff.

I gather this rag-top is a non-runner. It’s powered (when it did operate) by a 65 HP, 196 CI, in-line, four-cylinder engine that is connected to a three-speed manual transmission. One interesting observation is the attached alternator – it looks like a newer piece so maybe this PB has been converted to a twelve-volt electrical system.

It’s a shame the listing is so lacking in detail or telling images. This is a car that you won’t often find and I’d say that it probably has a lot of potential but not likely as a stock restore. It’s certainly a different twist on the iconic “Little Duece Coupe, wouldn’t you agree?
