1948 Dodge Deluxe, Getting Harder To Find This Original

Dodge Other 1948 Description

Just Toys Classic Cars is proud to present a very rare and very original car. Before you is a 1948 Dodge 2 door. These post war cars are getting harder and harder to find in this condition. You usually find them pretty well crushed in junk yards or out in an old farm field rusting in to the earth with a tree growing up where the motor used to be. Rest assured that this car is not a rust bucket and runs very well. These cars are just cool. There is no other way to say it. All of the chrome and the shape of the fenders, nd the roof line look very aerodynamic for the day. This car is as straight as they come. It is a survivor that is showing some of it's age, ut still presents very well.
The interior of this car is as cool as the outside. What you see on the seats are covers, ut as you will see in the video rest assured that the original seats underneath are in unbelievably great shape for a 67 year old car. All of the wood looks fantastic and all of the chrome presents very well also. This is just a beautiful piece of dash to look at. As you look through this very spacious interior, ou are going to see that the headliner is in great shape as well. Your sun visors are mounted outside the windshield via the large sun visor mounted to the car itself. Things were different back in the day. All you need to do is turn the key and hit the starter button on the left side of the steering wheel and listen to this baby come to life.
That's just what it does, t comes to life. This 230 Cu In straight 6 cylinder motor fires right up and just purrs like a kitten. Like you would really expect anything less. If this was a loud motor, ou would think that something was wrong. This motor is mounted to a 3 speed transmission otherwise known as a "3 on the tree". You will see the name fluid drive on the rear bumper as well as the dash. Most people would equate this term with an automatic, nd this is a manual. What Dodge did from 1941 to 1954 is put a hydraulic coupling in place of the flywheel. Even though this part would act like a modern torque converter for the automatics they did put 3 and 4 speed transmissions behind it as well. Now that you got a little history lesson on Dodge fluid drive, e can tell you that this clutch is right and tight and everything shifts smooth as silk just like it should.
As you look at the under carriage of this time piece you are going to see that you are not going to eat a 4 course meal off of it, ut for what it is, t is very clean. Like we said, his car truly is a time piece that needs to be in your collection today. We know that there are people out there that remember riding in the back seat of their parents car and they would love to have one. We wouldn't do a thing to this car. Just keep all of the original patina on it, nd keep it well tuned and maintained and just drive it and enjoy it.
