"1938 Dodge Six Series D8 4 Door Sedan
""The Dodge 1938 range comprises D8 sedan, 7 passenger sedan and Universal coupe, D9 Touring sedan and Universal coupe. The new series are distinguished in their up to date streamlining and graceful contours. Dodge design is inherently sound while its many proven superior engine features make it the safest car on the road. Dodge was the first car to adopt a safety steel body. Dodge was among the very first to adopt hydraulic brakes. Yet Dodge engineers have made this new Dodge the safest Dodge of them all!"" From the 1938 dealer brochure.
For consignment, a 1938 Dodge Six Series D8 4 door sedan showing 16,888 miles which are not actual. This is a street rodded version with the heart of a Chevy, the suspension of a Ford, and a Holley Sniper fuel injection system to get it all going.
Exterior
The overall shape of the big car makes a statement and the color of the car puts an exclamation point at the end! This is Magenta, from tip to tail, it is covered in a two stage pinkish purplish hue that would have been so foreign in 1938, Orson Wells could have used it as the alien spaceship in his War of the Worlds broadcast of that same year! ""They arrived in a magenta Dodge..."" his show would start. Meanwhile, a terrific profile awaits, with a chopped top, suicide rear doors, a trim piece that descends with the slope of the rear body line accentuating the humped trunk in back. Up front, a locomotive-like facade begins with a three part grille, winged accents, and protruding chrome bumper that could serve as a cow catcher. The leaping ram hood ornament is also depicted on a low yellow seal while blue dot tail lights add even more color to this magenta monster. Polished aluminum wheels are of different size and width as the back ones reach deep under the fender. The excellent paint takes in all door handles and the metalwork is very nice. Imperfections include numerous areas of bubbling down low.
Interior
Our ram reappears, embroidered on the gray ultraleather door inserts of the front doors and opening the suicide doors in back reveals a similar pattern of various shades of gray and white, (sans rams), on well designed panels. Bucket seats in front wear tweed cloth with ultraleather sides and power operation for the driver, while the back bench is clean and offers plenty of head and leg room. A Grant GT steering wheel fronts a smooth, magenta dashboard housing VDO gauges ahead of a polished steering column, then some old school Dodge trim in the center wears the Sniper screen and meets a more modern center stack unit with a JVC AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth and a panel of wood veneer that waterfalls down to the B&M shifter. Gray carpet covers the floor and the headliner is made of tweed. The trunk is huge and lined with tweed and carpet and could transport a flock of ram lambs.
Drivetrain
Lots of bling and polished parts in the engine bay where we find the 350ci V8 with a mild cam putting out 300 horsepower according to our consignor. It's fuel injected via the Holley Sniper system which is bolted to an Edelbrock intake manifold. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sends power to the Ford 9"" in back and ceramic headers make quick work of the spent fuel. Power brakes are found as front disc and rear drums.
Undercarriage
Clean and bone dry underneath with only minimal surface rust in spots. The dual exhaust carries FlowMaster mufflers and then the pipes go east and west to exit in front of the rear wheels on each side. A Mustang II front end handles the suspension there while leaf springs handle the back. No grease or even road dirt underneath, just uniform flat black coverage on a very nice underside.
Drive-Ability
Despite the 4"" chop, the interior is airy with lots of room to move around. The 350 cranks to life with no complaints and emits a pleasurable exhaust note as we steer the big car onto the test loop where we find acceleration satisfactory, good braking, and nice handling provided by those meaty tires. There's not much to go wrong here and all functional items on the car operated as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Our consignor says, ""nice cruiser"" and we confirm his assertion! This is a big, comfortable, well sorted car that doesn't need much and will cause rubbernecking wherever it happens to turn up. There's plenty of fun to be had with this car and the magenta color adds a unique kick to the party. Throw the kids in the back, (seats, not trunk), and head out to cruise night, or the drive-in at Chick-fil-A, or drop them off at school. No kids? No worries. It only takes a party of one to enjoy this ride!
