Description
Matchbox 1941 Plymouth Coupe – Pre-War American Elegance
The Matchbox 1941 Plymouth Coupe is a 1:64 scale die-cast tribute to one of the most stylish American coupes of the pre-World War II era. This loose example is finished in yellow with a detailed chrome front grille, chrome bumpers and black wheels with whitewall-style tyres. The casting captures the flowing fenders, split windshield and rounded silhouette that defined Plymouth’s 1941 model year — a design that would be cut short by America’s entry into the Second World War.

About the Real 1941 Plymouth
The 1941 Plymouth was part of the De Luxe and Special De Luxe lines produced by Chrysler’s Plymouth division. Between 1941 and 1950, the De Luxe was offered in two trim levels. The 1941 model year was significant as Plymouth almost surpassed Ford as the second-most popular automobile brand in the United States. Power came from a 95 bhp 217.8 cu in (3.6 L) Plymouth straight-six engine.
The 1941 coupe featured flowing Art Deco styling with integrated headlights, a distinctive grille and a split windshield. It was available in both De Luxe and Special De Luxe trim levels, with the latter offering additional chrome trim and interior upgrades. Production of civilian automobiles was halted shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, making the 1941 model one of the last pre-war Plymouths — and a highly sought-after classic today.
