Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is pleased to offer this all steel 1940 Plymouth Coupe. Subtle ghost flames adorn the front end, which adds a nice pop to the overall appearance when viewed in bright light. This vintage hot rod is powered by a fuel-injected 5.3L V8, which is backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission. The powerful 5.3 is kept cool by a big aluminum radiator with twin electric fans, and features a custom dual exhaust setup, complete with electric cutouts. Four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes hide behind the radial tire-wrapped vintage-style chrome wheels and go a long way toward providing serious stopping power. Inside, the gray vinyl and cloth interior looks tidy, and the black leather seating surfaces add a nice touch of class. A digital dash provides complete information, and the touch of modern complements the rest of the interior. This vintage ride comes with lots of additional features, including Air Conditioning, AM/FM/CD Radio, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power (front) seats, Power Steering, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Tilt Steering Wheel, and Vinyl Interior.
