You were right not to be sure of the last one Roy. It's a 1941 Cadillac Series 62 and the 'egg-crate' grill with marker lights gave it away for me. So many US cars of that time had similar hood ornaments and not easy to distinguish head-on.
The Plymouth has the (sort of) 'teardrop' headlamps but not as bold as on all Ford models back then.
