Plymouth returned to civilian production in 1946 with the P-Series full size sedan that was offered in two distinct trim levels: De Luxe and the top-of-the-line Special De Luxe. In 1948, Plymouth introduced art deco inspired styling touches to match the sumptuous interior appointments that had been present from the start. The inline 6-cylinder engine produced 97 hp, which was one of the most advanced units of the day, featuring cast aluminium pistons and a 7:1 compression ratio. With chair height seats and a wood finished metal dash, the cabin both comfortable and attractive. These popular models have exceptional aftermarket support and are one of the best ways to enjoy early postwar motoring.
