If any of you folks frequent FB marketplace there is a 30U sedan with lots of parts listed. I dont know how to post a link to FB but type in "1930 Plymouth model 30-u $7,500" to the search in the Fresno area (Madera) and it will come up. Its been listed quite a while.

I may have some waffle washers that I scavenged from a field find.  They may not be perfect but should be usable.  How many do you need?

Kim that would be great!  I had been told that the seats were available in leather but have never seen an example and could not find any supporting documentation.  I doubt leather would have not been available in the rumble seat coupe if you could get it in the business coupe.  This is just what I have been looking for.

Russ:  I have my great-grandfather's '29 coupe.  I got it from my grandparents when I was about 11 or 12 (about 1954) and drove it around the Nebr farm and to school until I was 14.  The car is a business coupe, not a rumble seat coupe.  It had a leather seat that I am certain was original.  I have pictures of the interior before I began restoration.  If those can help you I will send them to you.  Let me know.  Kim Mc

Stuff 4 Sale / 21" tires
Last post by Russ T. Fender - January 22, 2024, 05:26:08 PM
I have 2 Allstate Safety Tread 4.50 X 21 tires if anyone needs them.  They are old but the tread is good and they'd make decent spares. Yours for the cost of shipping.

Chet I spoke with Ted but he has a roadster (lucky guy) so no help there.  Still looking for pictures of an original interior!

Well, no progress on the interior question. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any information on the interiors of the early Plymouths.  So, I will move to plan B and ask if anyone has any pictures of the original interiors of the early Plymouths and in particular the 30-U coupe.  Understandably,  most cars have had their interiors redone and looking at the pictures of those cars I have doesn't help much as people seem to have done whatever worked for them as opposed to what was original.  I may wind up doing that too but I'd like to get it right if possible. Thanks.

I can't help with the washers but I believe the slotted screws are 1/4 20 3/8" length.  If you can't get locally you can order from boltdepot.com.

Link to screws

Check your sample make sure they are 1/4 20 TPI.  Very common.  If you only need a couple (10 or 20) I have a box of them.
