1941 Dodge luxury liner sedan running project To fit better in the Chrysler Corporation lineup, alongside low-priced plymouth and medium-priced DeSoto, Dodge’s lineup for early 1930 was trimmed down to a core group of two lines and thirteen models (from three lines and nineteen models just over a year previous). Prices started out just above DeSoto but were somewhat less than top-of-the-line Chrysler, in a small-scale recreation of General Motors’ “step-up” marketing concept. (DeSoto and Dodge would swap places in the market for the 1933 model year, Dodge dropping down between Plymouth and DeSoto.) For 1930, Dodge took another step up by adding a new eight-cylinder line to replace the existing Senior six-cylinder. This basic format of a dual line with Six and Eight models continued through 1933, and the cars were gradually streamlined and lengthened in step with prevailing trends of the day. The Dodge Eight was replaced by a larger Dodge DeLuxe Six for 1934 and which was dropped for 1935. A long-wheelbase edition of the remaining Six was added for 1936 and would remain a part of the lineup for many years. The Dodge line, along with most of the corporation’s output, was restyled in the so-called “Wind Stream” look for 1935. This was a mild form of streamlining, which saw sales jump remarkably over the previous year (even though Dodge as a whole still dropped to fifth place for the year after two years of holding down fourth). Dodge D11 Luxury Liner 4-Door Sedan 1939 p.s. this is not the actual, car on the picture, picture was added for reference purpose only. Another major restyle arrived for the 25th anniversary 1939 models, which Dodge dubbed the Luxury Liner series. These were once again completely redesigned with new bodies for 1940, again in 1941, and a refreshing for 1942. However, just after the 1942 models were introduced, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor forced the shutdown of Dodge’s passenger car assembly lines in favor of war production in February 1942. World War II Chrysler was prolific in its production of war material from 1942 to 1945, and Dodge in particular was well-known to both average citizens and thankful soldiers for their tough military-spec truck models and ambulances like the WC54 Starting with the hastily converted VC series and evolving into the celebrated WC series Dodge built a strong reputation for itself that readily carried over into civilian models after the war. thats little history about the this vehicle, picture above shows how the car suppose to look like before was forgotten it was traded in to the dealership after many years of sitting in the garage, it is cranking and engine sounds very smooth, but runs only through by-pass hose attached directly to fuel container. the gas tank seems to be clogged due to meny years of sitting. the brakes worked when the car was parked in the garage, but the car hasn't been driven for many years so the brakes need attention, Exterior shows rust on the running boards, paint need attention, there is a rust on the rear passenger quarter panel an the front fender as well, but again this is a running project. interior needs restoration, although the seats show no damage, they are very old. door panels need restoration, headliner seems to be the original one, with no tears or rips, but looks old. it all depends what you expect to get for the money, this car is very rare and there is not too many left in the world in running condition.
