Cloutier added power to Plymouth coupe
By Murray Green
Jerry Cloutier owns a 1937 Plymouth coupe.
“I originally brought this body from Philadelphia. It took me six years to finish the car and it was fully restored in 2016. I had some help along the way,” said Jerry.
“It has a Keith Black 528 hemi racing engine in it. The car is fun to drive and I go across Alberta to various car shows. I just like to have some fun with it,” shared Jerry.
“A good friend of mine, Nathan Doerksen, is a taekwon-do instructor, so I came to visit and train with him at the same time as the car show. I made it a good weekend in Camrose,” said Jerry.
Plymouth was a brand of automobiles produced by Chrysler Corporation and its successor DaimlerChrysler. The brand was launched in 1928 to compete in what was then described as the lowpriced market segment that was dominated by Chevrolet and Ford.
“I put a roll cage in the car. Originally, I was going to race this car, but after putting the engine in and painting it, I thought the car was too nice to race. That’s how it got to be my show car,” admitted Jerry.
Plymouth cars were marketed primarily in the United States.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster
Jerry Cloutier took his search for a 1937 Plymouth coupe all the way to Philadelphia to find the car he wanted. He was looking for the 1930s sleek design. He added a little muscle to create his own historic model.
of the late 1930s and early 1940s models. I saw this car in Philadelphia and decided to restore the vehicle. I went down and got it because I had a vision for it, and here it is today. I like the body lines and the shape of the car. I purchased the car from the original owner. The car sat on his farm for years, so he was glad to see it restored similar to what it was. The original colour was black, so I changed that. I like green because it looks good on this car. It is the colour I wanted,” said Jerry. The Plymouth De Luxe and Special De Luxe were full-sized automobiles which were produced by American manufacturer Plymouth during the 1933-42 and 1946-50 model years. “I like the engine because it is rare and pushes 1,000 horsepower. It has power, but is street legal so I can drive it to whereever I want to go, even if it is from gas station to gas station,” laughed Jerry. “Fun to drive, just hard on fuel.” It was an upscale alternative to the Plymouth Six (1933-34), Business Six (1935-38) and Roadking (1938-40). There were two, twodoor coupes: the two-seater Business Coupe and the Rumble-Seat Coupe, which had two inside seats and two more in the rumble seat. Convertible versions included the two-door convertible coupe and the four-door convertible sedan. In October 1937, the Dodge D5 was replaced by the Series D8, while the junior line models (for export and the Canadian market) were badged D9 and D10 for 1938.
FUN FACTS
By April 1933, the Dodge division’s Model DP chassis, with a 112-inch (284.5-cm) wheelbase, was put under the PC body with DP front fenders, hood, and radiator shell. The model designation was advanced to PD. The PC was redesigned to look similar to the PD and became the Standard Six. It had been the Plymouth Six at the introduction and was sold through to the end of 1933, but in much lower numbers. In 1937, Plymouth (along with the other Chrysler makes) added safety features such as flat dash boards with recessed controls and the back of the front seat padded for the rear seat occupants.
The flathead six started with the 1933 Model PC and stayed in the Plymouth until the 1959 models. In 1939, Plymouth produced 417,528 vehicles, of which 5,967 were two-door convertible coupes with rumble seats. In 1939, Plymouth produced 417,528 vehicles, of which 5,967 were two-door convertible coupes with rumble seats. For much of its life, Plymouth was one of the top-selling American automobile brands; it, together with Chevrolet and Ford, was commonly referred to as the low-priced three marques in the American market. Plymouth almost surpassed Ford in 1940 and 1941 as the second-most popular make of automobiles in the United States.
