The PC model was introduced by Chrysler in 1932-1933 after the depression years as the new model to compete with rivals in the low-price field (Chevrolet and Ford). It is equipped with a 6 cylinder-engine instead of the traditional 4-cylinder. The PC business coupe was the lowest-priced car in the PC line. The PC model was not very popular as consumers thought it was smaller than the previous model, the PB 4-cylinder car. Changes had to be brought to the car design in the 2nd series. 10 853 PC model cars were made. This car is from the first series. The Plymouth name existed from 1928 until 2001.According to Glenn Baechler, it was distinctive in that it had "Floating Power" a feature that was introduced nto all Plymouths models in 1931. - Area Notes
