There's no "sliding soft top deal" Scoot...........they all had a hole in the top that was covered with padded soft material (vinyl). Ford didn't have access to sufficient stamping capability/technology for a solid roof until the '37 model year. Tough to say without seeing it, but my guess would be it's worth more than the 'vair unless it's a tin worm museum. I can see it now................Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I'd do it if the body is in pretty decent shape. That's even more cool IMO as they are few and far between.Ryan

Nothing wrong with a Plymouth and you certainly would have an unusual car, but remember that parts (like the missing trunk lid) are going to be difficult to source and probably more expensive than they would have been for the Ford. Reproduction parts are probably not made for that model and there just aren't that many around. Just be aware of this before you make your decision.

Restorod is right, but you will still have one sweet ride when you're done. I'm sure some one can build the deck lid for you if you can't locate one.Ryan
