Plymouth's 1942 model line might be described as "the cars that disappeared," both figuratively and literally. The line was cut to two models, the P14S Deluxe and P14C Special Deluxe. Both of them could virtually be called entirely new cars, with the previous X-style chassis jettisoned in favor of a box-perimeter frame, and new doors that concealed the vestigial running boards when shut. The L-head straight-six also increased in displacement to 217.8 cubic inches thanks to a quarter-inch larger bore, but utilized cast-iron pistons--aluminum supplies were restricted to military usage. With its bigger bore, it now developed 95hp. Production of 1942 model year cars begin in July 1941. Gradually, more and more raw materials were designated as strategically necessary to the war effort and disappeared from the assembly lines, starting with chromium, which glinted on the 1942 Plymouths' all-new grilles. First, the side trim spears were radically shortened to save chrome. Later, the trim castings were simply painted and those cars became known as "black out" models. Cars that didn't already have signed civilian sales orders when they were built were immediately impounded by the government, mainly for military assignment. When auto production ended for good at Plymouth on January 31, 1942, production stood at 124,782 units. This particular 1942 Plymouth Special Deluxe is special in its own self. It has been featured in 2 movies. One being "Beloxi Blues" starring Mathew Broderick and the second being "The Tuskegee Airmen" Staring Lawrence Fishburne.
