In recognition of the commercial car uier'a need for
equipment that command! attention and add! prestige
to his business, the new Plymouth Commercial Cars for
1939 have etronger "eye appeal" like the richer dellgnt
of new passenger cars. This Is the new Plymouth Com
mercial Pick-Up Truck, Just announced.
Also available Is a new Commercial Chassls-and-Cab,
sn which tha user can mount any type of special body
bestsulted to his requirements. Prlcesare lowerthan cor
responding models last year.the factory also announced.
For maximum safety, bodies and cabs are of solid steel
construction. These are mounted on a epecial commer
cial car chassis of 116-Inch wheelbase, designed from the
ground up for commercial use. Structural foundation of
this big chassis Is a rigid, truck-type frame with side
ohannelsB Inches deep and five cross-members, for extra
strength and durability.
Specially featured this year is better load distribution,
with the cab mounted three Inches farther forward of
the rear axle. This opens up additional load space on the
frame, so that this year's steel pick-up box Is a full 6',
feet long without lowering the tailgate. Width of the
body on the floor is 4 feet. The low floor makes it easy to
load and unload from sidewalk or ground level. Edges of
the deep flare boards also of solid steel are rolled for
added strength. The steel tailgate can be lowered and
secured flush with the floor, giving added capacity for
extra long or bulky objects.
Theengine Is Plymouth's noted L-head design, improved
this year for new high-torque performance and specially
adapted for heavy-duty, commercial work. The special
power plant delivers 70 horse powerat 3,000r.p.m. with rec
ord economy, through useof all the famous Plymouth en
gineering features for greater smoothness and longer life.
