Dodge Custom Convertible 1948 Description

Up for auction is this beautiful 1948 Dodge Custom Convertible. It wasthe cover and the feature car on the 1986 September issue of Cars & Parts. This car was restored in 1982and only8429 mileswere put onthe car inthe past34 years. The car has always been garaged and is well maintained by avid car collector. The owner has decided to sale some of his collection. I'm listing this very nice Dodge Convertible for him, and will take all questions to him. The car has every option that was available in 1948, dual mirrors, dual mopar spotlights,dual mopar fog lights, grill guard, trunk guard, back up light, factory turn signal, windshield washer, clock, radio, heater, and electric power canvas top. I'm probly forgetting some. The car also has the Fluid Drive but a overdrive from a 1954 Dodge has been installed for even better cruising. Everything works on the car even the under hood lights when the hood is opened. The engine #D24515915 was rebuilt when the car was restored and starts easy and runs strong. It has a split manifold with dual exhaust and sounds very nice. (not loud) This car is titled byits original engine #D24515915 and frame numbers as they were in 1948 not by the body number #45037086. The body is as nice as I have seen and paint is very good with only a couple of bug nicks the size of a pin head. The top is in very nice condition and is the original type made of canvas, not vinyl, it also has the top boot that comes with the car.The interior looks new with no signs of ware at all. All bright work inside and out is as new and shows very well. All glass is good and all door, trunk, hood, and fender fits and gaps are very nice. Tires are older BF Goodrich Silver townwide whites but theylook good.This is a very solid car with a nice frame up restorationon a original California car. The original Magazine "Car & Parts" September 1986 issue that the car was featured in comes with the car, the Washington license plate's do not.. No disappointments on this beautiful Dodge.
