Les,
There were only 215 Plymouths built by F-R-H. Serial numbers started at #100. F-R-H actually built the first Plymouth car around 1914, but only built a couple. They concentrated on building small yard locomotives. When they started to build tractors, Chrysler didn't like to see the Plymouth name on something else on rubber wheels traveling down the road, so they took F-R-H to court. F-R-H proved that they made the first Plymouth car, and instead of getting into a long legal battle, they sold the rights to the Plymouth name to Chrysler for $1.
Right now there's a Plymouth orchard model for sale on the photo ads (no connection to the seller, but very rare!). Today, I'm putting my standard model up for sale on the photo ads (serial number 180).
