Title: Wanted 1930 Series "U" or 31-32 "PA" Door Hinges
Post by: 1930u on July 01, 2007, 09:05:30 AM
Hello,

I'm having a door hinge fit problem on my 1930 Series U Plymouth Coupe. I've been trying to use a universal type external hinge but after a weeks worth of work it's not working out.

I need a complete set of OEM hinges for a 1930 Plymouth Series U Coupe or for a 1931-32 Plymouth PA Coupe...these are the bodies with the oval back window. There are 3 hinges on each door and I need the whole set.

Any information would be greatly apprcieated...

Thanks in advance!
Dave

Hi Dave & Welcome,

We are not a very big group yet but hopefully the site will grow.  I will keep an eye out for your hinges.  I set up this site for all Plymouth Owners whether factory original or custom creations.  Anything saved from the crusher is a good thing and not all cars are destine to be museum pieces.   Actually they are a lot more fun when they are on the street.!!!

Are you planning on putting the running boards and fenders back on.  It would sure look sweet with the running boards on.

Chet...

Interesting Ride...

Chet,

Thanks for the site and the feed back.  I'm actually trying to recreate a car I feel in love with when I was a kid.  It was a 1931 PA drag/street hot rod built in the late sixties and stayed on the street until the mid seventies.  Never could afford to buy it then and when I got older and had money he wouldn't sell it.   So...I'm making the car using pictures I took of his car all those years ago. 

I am attacking a link with more pictures and my progress over the last few years.  Basically bought it and let it sit for years while I was rounding up parts.  I found it down on the Texas/Oklahoma border in 2001 sitting in the woods with other old cars...it was just the body.  I hope you enjoy the pics.

Chet,

Forgot to answer the question...I'm making a set of rear fenders and plan to run motorcycle fenders on the front...so a highboy style with fenders and somewhat of a mid-late 60's gasser look.
