Australian Hybrid Coupe based Styleside Pickup. This appealing body type variation is known as a Coupe/Ute or Utility, in Australian vehicle terms. The steel body conversion coachwork was performed by ' T.J. Richards ', coachbuilders of Adelaide, South Australia 1939. The practical adaption was done on behalf of Chrysler Australia, before the initial sale. A build number of this 1939 Plymouth variant is not known, but sure to be very few. This car is 65 years old and has survived well in the dry Western Queensland areas of Chinchilla and Miles. The panels are 90% straight and rustfree. Original engine and gearbox still fitted. The glass and radiator have been removed and also go with the car. Last registered during the 1960's. From several Australia wide inquiries, only one other example like it is known to have survived. None are known to be restored or in use. The exterior Richards Kangaroo dark blue enamel badge is fitted to the lower left hand fender. The large block-letter ' TJR ' - firewall stamping and cowl fitted brass I.D. tag are in excellent condition. Brass tag reads ' T.J.Richards & Sons Ltd., King of the Road, Adelaide, Body No 85325 '. This car is largely original and unrestored as pictured. Price is negotiable and any other inquiries or pictures required will be honestly and fully replied to.
