Description of 1939 Dodge Other |
Daring to be different is great, specially if the different is as good looking as this 1939 Dodge 4-door sedan. With a sleek aerodynamic look, onderful art-deco styling details, nd modern V8 horsepower, t's one of those awesome rods that will stand out just by virtue of being something other than a Ford. The bright red paint certainly helps this one grab everyone's attention, ut it's the detailing that will make them look closer. The sleek Dodge sedan has a unique look that was similar to the fastback styling from the other automakers, ut the long wheelbase and sleek tail section make it look far more radical than most. Finish quality is quite good, ith nice body gaps and a bright shine that can only come from a lot of time invested in buffing and polishing the final finish. Most of the original trim was retained, nd it really sparkles against that Torch Red paint. We're particularly fond of the front end, hich offers neat details like the dipped front bumper, amiliar ram hood ornament, nd a very cool grille that seems to reach back to the firewall. Add in a host of vents, peed lines, nd stainless trim, nd the whole car seems to be in motion like one of those old paintings showing cars at speed. We love the split rear window and it appears that the only notable items that aren't stock are the LED taillights, hich are shaped like those on a '39 Ford.The handsome tan leather interior is beautifully finished. Up front you get a pair of power bucket seats from a late-model, hile the back seat appears to be borrowed from the same car. New carpets, imple perforated leather door panels, nd a custom center console all add to the new car feel. The original dash has been upgraded with a set of very trick Dolphin gauges with green faces, nd the 9886 miles shown are since the build was completed. Under the dash there are vents for the A/C system as well as a few secondary controls, hile the AM/FM/CD head unit is discreetly tucked into the center console. A B&M shifter on the transmission tunnel manages a 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and the tilt column is topped by a fat 4-spoke wheel. And the whole reason you buy a sedan is so you can take the whole family with you, nd the giant fully upholstered trunk makes it easy.A familiar 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 lives under the pointed hood and it was rebuilt to stock specs when the car was built. It's got some chrome dress-up pieces, polished intake, nd a big 4-barrel carburetor, ll of which work together to make it run great and look cool. A big aluminum radiator and R134a refrigerant in the A/C system make it a trusted highway cruiser for long hauls and service access is pretty good. Power front disc brakes and power steering come complements of a Camaro subframe and the dual Flowmasters give it a wonderfully mellow exhaust note. A 10-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears inside makes the car feel lively around town, ut they're easily tamed by the overdrive gear in the transmission. It's got just the right rake, ugmented by a set of flashy Ridlr and 17-inch performance radials.Nicely documented with receipts and build photos, his handsome Dodge stands out both in terms of quality and rarity.
