Default Sp11

A theory: The military 1941 De Soto ute I had , had the typical Aust. army requirement , where the nomenclature was stenciled on the firewall, I recall in that case, the model was SP11 . Reading the list Hanno uploaded ,I see that the 'S' was possibly meaning 'Special' . These Plymouth based army utes had heavier rear springs fitted than the standard sedans, and possibly other chassis mods. Maybe the 'S' covered those mods.

Not sure if anyone else has this book, but it lists blackout serials for some marques (the various Chrysler Corp. cars and Cadillac, from what I saw while browsing it today for other reasons). It doesn't distinguish military from civilian cars, but the military cars may well be in the blackout range.

Default 1941 Plymouth RHD

Posted by Ashley Elliott on FB: "My dad's 41 Plymouth (right hand drive)".

I think this one resides in the UK.
