What battery did the rumble seat coupe use? (Make&model) Same thing with the radio. Lastly, where do I find uphostery material for this model?

Thanks

In that era Plymouth batteries were sourced by Willard. Parts book says "Battery, storage ? serviced by Willard Battery Co., Cleveland, Ohio, and Toronto, Canada." At the beginning of the parts book lists the specifications of the battery for a 30-U as 84 A-Hr, 3 cells, 13 plates, 6v.

No clue to who sourced the accessory radio. Not listed in the master parts book at all.

Kathy Schrack, who advertises in the Plymouth Bulletin has upholstery kits for a lot of 1930s Plymouths. Not sure if she has one for the 30-U coupe though.

Going by memory on this one, but possibly Motorola for an accessory radio. I believe they were in business by then.

Earliest radio I've seen in a Plymouth was a 1931 PA series, Philco made the radio and was the radio supplier for many years.   Not to say there weren't accessory radios that could have been sold and installed.....
