This car’s two tone yellow paint, custom pinstriping and chrome-plated trim are in overall excellent show winning order. This model features a “Duplate” safety glass windshield and larger, bullet-shaped chrome headlamps. This Dodge was judged the best by both the (AACA) Antique Automotive Club Of America & Also 1st prize winner at the prestigious Meadow Brook Concourse D’Elegance in 1994 .It’s just as stunning today!
The bodywork, with its coach doors and draft-free body ventilation, is straight and solid, the chrome, single bar bumpers look fantastic and the engine bay is extremely tidy. Out back is a rear-mounted travel trunk. This Dodge rolls on BFGoodrich Silvertown tires, wrapped around body-colored “Floating Cushion” steel spoke wheels with center caps. The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in excellent shape.
Under that vee’d hood is a 218 CID inline six-cylinder engine with a Carter downdraft carburetor. The motor is buttoned to a three-speed manual transmission with automatic vacuum clutch. Car has independent front suspension, synchronized front and rear springs along with improved brakes drums.
Inside, the car’s luxurious brown leather interior is in overall fantastic shape. The bench seat looks great while the matching carpet is in satisfactory order.

The folding cloth soft top is tight fitted and shows wellcomplete with A clear dust cover that is custom fitted.
The 1934 Dodge was completely restyled to evidence a much more streamlined appearance. There was a new V-type radiator; skirted front and rear fenders; many horizontal hood louvers of descending lengths; larger, bullet-shaped chrome headlamps; and a single-bar bumper with a flat dip in the middle.
Standard equipment included Delco-Remy ignition; hydraulic brakes; new independent front suspension; “Floating Power” engine mounting system; X-type frame; new ventilation system; steel spoke wheels; dual horns; and a new, “leaping Ram” hood ornament. These models were retroactively labelled DeLuxe Sixes after the Standard Sixes debuted in June 1934. After that, DR side hood panels featured four plain louvers, like the Standards instead of the multiple louvers used before June.
