Which version to choose
There is 1 version: 3.6 MT. There is no second gearbox, no second displacement, and no second power rating to rank.
3.6 MT is the Cabrio package for 1 generation (1949-01-01–1950-12-31): 97 hp, 71 kW, 3568 cm³ Gasoline, fuel grade 76, Front, longitudinal engine, Manual with 3 gears, RWD, bore × stroke 82.6 × 111.1, Independent, spring front suspension, Dependent, leaf spring rear suspension, Drum brakes front and rear.
Compared with a hypothetical second version, the arithmetic difference in power, torque, displacement, gears, and drive would be zero because no other version exists in the data. Power rpm, torque, cylinders, boost, 0–100, top speed, mpg, tank, weights, clearance, and wheels remain not measured for 3.6 MT, so they cannot be used as a buying filter.
Asking price, for-sale listings, and market value are not in the source data and are not given here.
Problems and reliability
No failure list, service interval, oil type, or reliability score is in the data for Plymouth Special DeLuxe 3.6 MT. Oil type is not measured. Problem and reliability claims beyond that are not stated.
What is recorded for durability-related hardware on 3.6 MT is the chassis layout only: Independent, spring front, Dependent, leaf spring rear, Drum / Drum brakes, RWD, 3-speed Manual. Those are specifications, not a reliability rating.
