I had been sniffing around for one of these for several years. It is a back lighted box with acitate sheets used to demonstrate the color combos available to potential new Plymouth buyers. Also a upholstery section. I bought it on line but picked it up at Carlisle.
They were first put into service in 1958, I think, and used through 1961 with a up dated "kit" every year. It came to me with a 1959 set of materials but I had anticipated finding one one day and had picked up a complete 1961 "kit" sometime past.
It did need some love, but I just got it cleaned up and operating with the up grade 61 material.......

I was fortunate enough to be present for the delivery. Will had that "Christmas Morning" excitement for this piece. It is extremely cool and a perfect addition to the "Virgil" project.
 
I anticipated finding one of these for a looooooong time. I paid up for it and have it refurbished to top quality now. A keeper you'd think.
Truth is that I would sacrifice it for funds towards Virgil's restoration if the right deal appeared. Just saying.

I think Virgil's display at BJ will look better with the box... :lol:
 
I might be that sucker you're looking for. Send me a pm with details.

I know it made me a happy sucker.....:poke:. The pictures pretty much tell the story. If you have specific questions, please ask.
My dream price is $1500.00. (Would go a long way towards the interior of my 61 Fury convertible).

Thanks for inquiring. (Your inbox is full).
Will.
