I - Club PolicyThe purpose of the Club is to encourage the use, preservation and restoration of Plymouth andFargo automobiles and trucks, 25 years of age or older, particularly the AUTHENTICrestoration of these models, to provide and regulate meets, tours and exhibitions for membersvehicles, to provide high judging standards at these meets, to publish in the club magazineinformation of interest and value to the members, and to discourage any activities, ideas orphilosophies contrary to these aims.This paragraph certainly gets directly to the issue we are dealing with. We are to promote theAUTHENTIC restoration of Plymouths and Fargo vehicles. That means we need to judge thesecars against a standard of a factory shipped car. Original Plymouths did not come from thefactory with modern modifications. Changes made due to state safety requirements areacceptable, such as safety glass, seat belts and turn signals.If any vehicle has been modified in such a way as to obviously alter horse power, andcomponents to include; rear end, transmission, suspension, electrical system, sheet metal, such asa street rod, it shall be ineligible for judging. Minor changes for safety and ease of driving suchas seat belts, safety glass, radial tires and turn signals do not make a car modified and the carmay be judged. Installation of overdrive units in vehicles that did not originally offer them shallbe cause for point deductions. The car will lose points for these changes unless required by statelaws.The original model engine must be installed in the said model. For example, a PB engine in aPB model car. A non-original engine installation shall result in ZERO points for the enginecategory at all Plymouth Owners Club judged meets. If a vehicle has been modified so that ithas a non-stock engine (6 cylinder or 8 cylinder in a car that originally came with a 4 cylinder), itis considered modified.If a factory replacement engine between the years 1935 and 1949 has been installed, there will beno penalty. Factory replacement engines can be identified by the lack of a serial numberstamped on the engine number pad of the block. They can also be identified by a tag reading“For Parts Specify Model 220”. Although Chrysler did build other replacement engines, onlyreplacement coded 220 is correct for any Plymouth passenger car from 1935 through 1949,including all Plymouth PT commercial models. Vehicles equipped with a replacement engineother than the Model 220 would be judged as if an incorrect model engine were installed in thevehicle. Questionable replacement engines - those, in which the replacement engine tag ismissing or incorrect, would disqualify the vehicle for Best of Show. A missing tag should alsohave points deducted for this flaw.If a car comes with a color that was offered by another Chrysler Division in a specific year, itwill be eligible for judging and no points will be deducted if the vehicle owner providesproof, that the color was available that year. This applies to the years that special colorswere offered by Plymouth.3

Here are the 1993-94 major changes that have been made to our previous judging criteria:1. With the vote to admit all Plymouth-bodied cars (mostly Canadian) to the club rosterand for judging at club meets, the following cars are now eligible for recognition bythe Plymouth Owners Club.2. Plymouth bodied Dodges and DeSotos will be judged in the class of the Plymouthequivalent. Also, owners of these cars can contact Tech Advisors of the equivalentPlymouth for technical advice since chassis, drive train and most sheet metal isidentical.The list shows just a single series for the Dodge equivalent years 1936-1938 when Plymouth hadtwo. Research is still being done to determine if the Ply-bodied Dodges had both standard anddeluxe models those years and whether they each had a series number or were considered subseries.Another sure way for judges to determine the eligibility of a particular Dodge is to check thewheelbase. If it doesn’t match that of the equivalent Plymouth, it’s not Plymouth-based. Theyears 1932 (the DM is extremely rare) through ‘39 may necessitate a series/serial number and/orwheelbase check since Plymouth and Dodge sheet metal was somewhat similar during thoseyears. The club now recognizes plymouth-bodied Dodges.PlymouthDodge equivalent1932 PB 1932 DM1933 PC 1933 DQ1934 PE 1934 DT1935 PJ 1935 DB1936 P1, P2 1936 D31937 P3, P4 1937 D61938 P5, P6 1938 D81939 P7, P8 1939 D12, D134

The winners are to keep the original trophy for one year, until the next similarNational Meet (i.e. from the Spring Meet to the next year’s Spring Meet). The Regionpresenting the award is also responsible for supplying an appropriate Best of Show trophy inaddition to the traveling trophy. The vehicle does not also win first place in its class.

III - RestorationMany times throughout the year the Plymouth Owners Club receives letters from membersasking what does the Club look for in judging. Other letters ask why members cars did not scoreas high in Plymouth Owners Club judging as it did in other forms of judging, such as AACA.The purpose of the Plymouth Owners Club is, of course, the “preservation and AUTHENTICrestoration” of the Plymouth automobile. It is to that goal that the Club’s judging sheets areaimed at. In fact, bonus points are added for cars with original factory installed upholstery andfor cars with soft-top roof inserts. It is possible for a car to score zero points in two categories ifthe car has the incorrect model-year engine installed or if the car has been repainted in anincorrect color. It is for this reason that a car may score higher in other club judging than itwould in Plymouth Owners Club judging.Read the Club judging standards carefully, then with them in mind, take the judging sheets out toyour car and judge the car yourself. Be honest and fair and ask yourself “Would a judge at ameet deduct points for this item?”. Those items or categories that have the most deductions arethose areas of your car that need improvement.PolicyThe Club recognizes all Plymouths and Fargo vehicles 25 years old or older and certain foreignPlymouths with Dodge, Desoto and Chrysler nameplates.A. GLASSNo car with a plate glass (non-safety) windshield will be judged at all at official meets. Thisvehicle shall not be considered safe for any officially sponsored or conducted tours. Other glasspanels may be of the non-safety type but it is highly recommended to have safety glassthroughout the carB. TOP OR ROOFA bonus point is given to all soft tops (closed and open cars) for more equitable judging.F. PAINTThe Club does not possess a complete set of original paint charts. However a complete list ofpaint names does exist, together with most paint chips. For official judging purposes white,candy red, pink, purple and very light blues are not authentic colors for pre-1950 models.Metallic paints prior to 1934 are not authentic except for a brown in 1933. Any member’s carbeing judged at an official meet will receive ZERO points for the paint category if the abovecolors are used.H. ACCESSORIESSome states require turn signals and or seat belts on motor vehicles regardless of their date ofmanufacture. The Club will not deduct points providing the lights are not mounted on the outside surfaceof the fenders unless within a dual tail lamp feature. Wires and plugs for a detachable signal systemmounted to the bumper irons shall be hidden from normal view during judging. Seat belts should also behidden from view during judging. Any other state imposed requirement will not be cause for a pointdeduction to the Plymouth being judged.7

J. UPHOLSTERYIn the interest of authenticity and the promotion of Plymouth history, one bonus point is to be awardedeach of the judged, club classified Plymouths, which retains the original factory installed upholstery.The car is to be judged in the upholstery category as any other Plymouth.N. MECHANICAL CONDITIONThe replacement of 1928 through 1930 fabric universal joints with metal universal joints is allowed forsafety reasons.O. ENGINE COMPARTMENTThe original model engine must be installed in the said model. For example, a PB engine in aPB model car. A non-original engine installation shall result in ZERO points in the enginecategory at all judged meets. This policy does not mean that the original engine that came withthe car from the factory must be installed. Any vehicle in violation of this policy is not eligiblefor first place, even though it may have an otherwise perfect score.The Carter BB-1 Universal Updraft is an officially acceptable replacement for the 1932 PBCarter types 4A2 and 4A3.All 1928-59 cylinder heads shall be silver except high compression. Some high compression heads arenot painted red. All 1928-59 electrical accessories shall be black. Vacuum advance units, carburetorsand fuel pumps shall be the natural “as cast” color. Fuel, oil and vacuum lines were generally a naturalcolor but may be black. Intake manifolds of 1928-34 models shall be black while 1935-59 may be blackor silver. Cylinder blocks, timing case covers, and clutch housings of 1928-34 shall be black. Generally1935-59 models used silver on the above three places although black will be allowed. Research hasshown that some 1935-1941 engines can have blocks as cast finish.JudgingA. NON-MEMBERNon-members’ cars will not be judged at Club meets, however these cars are welcome to be exhibited ifwithin the Club’s years of coverage. Vehicles may be accepted as a potential member’s vehicle.B. MEMBERIn the event of a disagreement over a point of authenticity of any judged Plymouth at any official meet ofthe Club, the Technical Director, or in his absence, the Chief Judge of the meet shall be the sole judge onthis point.C. CHIEF JUDGEThe Technical Director may act as Chief Judge when present at official Club meets.D. OFFICIAL JUDGING SHEETSAt every official judging meet of the Club an official judging sheet shall be used. A copy of the officialjudging sheet for a judged car will be provided if the owner puts the request in writing and submits it tothe National President. Allow 2-3 weeks to receive the copy.Note - Some of the information provided in this package may contradict previous judging guides. If anindividual has restored his/her car to the old guide, it is suggested that the area of disagreement bereviewed. The judges may decided to take no points off due to this, depending on the severity of thedifference.8

Others ___________________11.Trunk rack12.Trunk13.Instruction manualI. INTERNAL TRIM AND INSTRUMENTS1. Important - this category is meant to judge authentic pieces as well as condition of plating ordesign.2. Screws: Generally pre-1939 are of the STRAIGHT TYPE, NOT PHILLIPS HEAD. 1939was a split year, 1940 & up Phillips head. ALL SCREW HEADS SHOULD BE OF ONETYPE WITHIN A GIVEN SIZE.3. Instrument panel on PA, PB, & PC should be engine turned on interior portion. (New plasticdecal is acceptable if it is good workmanship).4. Window & door handles had same style or pattern design.5.

J. UPHOLSTERYDon’t confuse material and pattern. Material refers to rubber or fabric, etc. Pattern refers to rib design ortexture.1. Original FACTORY installed gets a bonus of 1 point, total score not to exceed 10. If one door panelhas been replaced but with material, design and workmanship equal to original then no penalty isrecommended.2. Material used on all rumble seats was leatherette.3.

Material refers to rubber or fabric, etc. Pattern refers to ribdesign or texture. An owner with cloth carpet in front should lose at least two points - one forincorrect material and one for incorrect pattern. Generally the early fours and sixes will have auniversal rubber mat on the front which would be the correct material but incorrect pattern.2. Rubber pedal pads were not used on Q, U, and PT50 & PT57.3. All models used rubber in front and carpet in rear except some Business Coupes, which used rubbermat in rear.L. LIGHTING1. Wiring in this category is external only - not under hood or dash. Look for wiring to headlamps andtail lamps - does it have correct loom?a.) 1928-1929 headlamps had woven fabric loomb.) 1930-1932 headlamps had metal conduit loom2. Plastic insulated wire is wrong for pre-1949 models. All wire covering was cotton braid. A smalltracer indicated color. Some color was indicated by solid color also.3. One of the main purposes of this category is to check working condition of the lighting system (burnedout bulbs, defective switches, etc.).4. Tail lamp lenses on 1928 to 1931 models was the “bee hive” type. Some early 1932 to 1935 modelshad “PLYMOUTH” on lens. None of the commercial models had “PLYMOUTH” on lens. Someearly 1932 PB models used beehive also.5. If seal beams are present and correct for that year, patterns of lenses on both should match.6. 1937 PT50 truck headlamps & lens must be BI-RAY.7. 1937 P3, P4 headlamps say RITE-WAY.12

M. EXTERNAL BRIGHT WORK1. This category checks authenticity of headlamps, tail lamps, bumpers, hubcaps etc. as well as platingcondition.2. The 1930-U, PA and PC models could have painted headlamps.3.

MECHANICAL CONDITION1. Excessive play means free travel greater than 1/4 total movement except steering. Steering play shouldnot exceed 2 inches.2. “Leaks” on exhaust system refer to worn holes, rust outs, bad misfit or visible soot at junctions.3. Metal universal joints are permitted for 1928-1930 models (By-Laws 1f).4. Dual master cylinder as of 1967, not before5. Look for overdrive on pre-1951 models (3 point deduction)O. ENGINE COMPARTMENT1. Plastic insulated wire is wrong for pre-1949 models. All wire covering was cotton braid. A smalltracer indicated color. Some solid color insulation is acceptable.2. Color: The electrical equipment was always black. The cylinder heads were always silver (except hicompression which were red). The engine block & clutch cover could be all silver on 1935 & upmodels. Generally black on pre-1935 models.3. Hose clamps were generally the double wire type with screwdriver tightening. The commonly foundband type with worm drive is wrong.4. Look closely for incorrect air cleaner and /or silencer. The owner’s instruction manual shows thecorrect type.5. Look for incorrect updraft carburetor on early 4 cyl. models. The Carter BB-1 is an acceptablesubstitute for PB models only (By-Laws 1c). The PT-50 commercial used a Chandler Groovesmanufactured unit. Generally all other models used Carter.6. Electrical equipment on 1934 and prior models was Delco Remy (Look for tags). On 1935 and latermodels the manufacturer was Auto-Late.7. None of the models used rubber covered spark plug connectors.8. Black firewall on all pre-1935 models. The border on 1928-1929 was the junction of the vertical panelto horizontal. Other models border was at the lacing mounting.9. Look for extra holes in firewall. (Old radio or heater mountings).10. Look for chrome parts. Penalize 1 point each if not original, check with owner for proof.13

V - Technical Advisors’ CommentsThis information should be used by the Chief Judge to help answer questions or to break possibleties. Unfortunately all years are not covered in detail. There will be questions that still may notbe answered by the information provided. The Chief Judge should then use his/her “expertise”and make a decision.If any year is missing, it is because the Tech Advisor felt the Judging Sheets and Worksheetswere sufficient to judge that year, or because no input was received.It is hoped that additional information will be added to this section to develop a better standard tojudge the various years against.17

The mountingpads on these vent wings may have a bead.With the above exception, none of the exterior mounting pads or gaskets is beaded around theedge.There is a difference in the size of the rear grommet where the bumper support goes through thefender. Early production 3½" x 2½"; late about 4½" x 4".The painted grille center has a special bolt near the bottom that holds itself to the grille that isoval shaped.There is a half round shaped piece of metal that fits down low in back of the grille. With thepiece in place you cannot easily see the ground when looking down through the bottom of thegrille.The rubber between the headlight and bracket should be snug on both pieces because the rubberis molded to a piece of metal.F.

The fronts of these are silver faced slightly engine turned design covered withclear plastic; the plastic is held in place by nickel plated metal that forms the edge and the rest ofthe knob.The wood graining on the instrument cluster, center panel and glove box door are done in aHerringbone pattern with a ½" semi engine turned silver stripe edged horizontally with a 1/16"black stripe. The three panels are edged with a 1/16" silver stripe 1/8" from the edges. The edgeof the ½" silver engine turned stripe is 2 9/16" up from the edge of the glove box door.
