What year is it?

[Jim Benjaminson]

Photos may have been taken in 1938 but the cars are 1939.  Remember, the '39 went into production August 18, 1938 with the new car showing date of September 24, 1938.

there's literally millions of images in that collection but the tags aren't much help when searching so you have to be imaginative in your search terms.
Clicking the image gives you a bigger version, try "auto exhibit" for the 1948 Paris motor show.

I found this neat photo by doing that search - stamping a Plymouth Roof - says so right on the bottom die.

Andy and Greg,
I tried Googleing the "Life" site, was unable to go to the correct one.

Can you guys  help me?
Thanks,
Bob

Yep - 1939.  Probably the Lynch Road assembly plant in Detroit.....

Looks like the 1939 model year.

Some one suggested that it would be nice to walk in and take your pick.  Looks like final inspection at the end of the Plymouth line.
