This 1928 Chrysler-Plymouth model 'Q'-four represents the first production year of the Plymouth line, which was Chrysler's first foray into the low priced car market dominated then by Chevrolet and Ford. It had 4-wheel hydraulic brakes, full pressure engine lubrication, aluminum allow pistons, & independent hand brake, a combination of features not offered by its low-price competitors until 1939. The origins of the first Plymouth can be traced back to the Maxwell automobile. - Area Notes
