1928 Plymouth Q Four Coupe
Specifications
Description
First Plymouth rolled off the line on June 11, 1928 and was apparently considered by Chrysler as a 1929 model.
Generally Model Q Plymouth's are considered 1928 models today and the Model U is considered the 1929. Plymouth was launched by Walter P. Chrysler in 1926 and two years later had its very own model, the 1928 Model Q. The low-priced division would go on to save the Chrysler Corporation during the great depression offering an alternative to upscale Chrysler and Dodge models. By mid-century, Plymouth's forward-looking design language was all the rage and personified the entry-level car for the American middle-class family. However, after many years of low sales and waning interest in the brand, Chrysler Corporation ended Plymouth production in 2001.
Plymouth was intended for the 'low-priced' market segment that was dominated by Ford and Chevrolet. They were originally sold exclusively through Chrysler dealerships, serving as a low-cost alternative to the upscale Chrysler brand. The logo was the rear view of the ship Mayflower which landed at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
ABOUT THIS CAR

It used solid valve lifters, three main bearings, and a Carter carburetor. The engine was backed by a three-speed sliding gear transmission with spur gears and a single plate, dry clutch. Hydraulic brakes on all wheels provided the stopping power. Wood spoke wheels were standard and wire wheels were optional.
