From the February 19, 1973 edition of the former “The Morning Record” newspaper, Meriden, Conn. (now known as “My Record”) found in the Meriden Conn. Public Library archives. The First Plymouth was a 1906 Truck
Although Plymouth is observing its 45th anniversary this year as a car maker, the first Plymouth motor vehicle appeared in America 67 years ago – and it was a truck.
The Commercial Motor Truck Company, of Toledo, Ohio, records show, produced a friction-drive truck in 1906 and interested a group of investors from Plymouth, Ohio in investing.
In November of that year, they opened a new plant at Plymouth and later changed the name of the corporation to the Plymouth Motor Truck Company.
Before giving up its truck manufacturing operation, around the start of World War I, the company produced between 150 and 200 vehicles, including two and three ton stake trucks, sideboard trucks, covered vans, 20 and 24 passenger buses and 20 to 40 passenger sightseeing vehicles.
The company also produced one handcrafted Plymouth touring car, which was powered by a four cylinder Wisconsin engine and had a double disc truck transmission and chain drive.
On top of the hood was a dome which contained a gravity feed gasoline tank. The eight inch filler cap was large enough to accommodate the lip of a three gallon bucket.
On July 8, 2011, the Plymouth automobile was taken for a test ride to New York City. On the way back home, the Plymouth broke a cylinder casting at Atlantic City and was returned home by rail.
The next Plymouth automobile was the first Plymouth passenger car built by Chrysler Corporation on June 14, 1928 at its Highland Park, Michigan plant.
