Plymouth was Chrysler's low-priced make, launched in 1928 to take on Ford and Chevrolet, and Deluxe was the name it used for its better-trimmed models from the 1930s to 1950. They were simple, strongly built cars with side-valve engines and, unusually for the price, hydraulic brakes from the start.
