Could be wrong, but I don't think that's a '43.  Cool though!  ^_^

You’re questioning Hoppy?? Shame on you! 😂

I read that ford was allowed to make some sedans for the military.

 

You might never find one, but if you did it might look like this....  :rolleyes:

Be realistic.  My head nurse pointed out that I was born in 1942 and "they don't make parts for those any more."  :rolleyes:

Me too!

 

Folks had a 42 Plymouth made in 1944.

 

Fortunately, so far, except for a few teeth and eye lenses (replacing cataracts), I haven't needed any replacement parts!  What I keep needing is replacement doctors. All mine have retired! Recently had my annual cardiac checkup. No problems. But my new cardiologist looks like he graduated from high school!

Anyone know why Hoppy's Ford had Indiana plates?:huh:

Good question , he was born and raised in Ohio and later in life moved California. No clue about the Indiana connection!
