1934 Dodge DeLuxe Series DR Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

For the 1934 model year, Dodge introduced models that were heavier, longer, and more powerful than those of previous years. The entry-level DR “DeLuxe” series had a 117-inch wheelbase and featured a 217.8ci L-head straight-six factory rated at 82 horsepower as well as a three-speed manual transmission with helical gears and a selective "free wheeling" transmission that allowed clutch-less shifting by pulling a knob on the dashboard.

The redesigned body stood out for its large teardrop-shaped headlamps, styled hood louvers, and skirted fenders and was mounted atop an X-type frame with independent front suspension, hydraulic brakes, and all-steel “Floating-Cushion” wheels.

Further enhancements for ‘34 Series DR vehicles included the “Leaping Ram” hood ornament and a Seven-point “Finger Touch” ventilation system

This ‘34 Dodge wears an older restoration performed by the grandson of its original owner and is finished in black with tan pinstripes over tan cloth upholstery.

This 1934 Dodge Series DR sedan is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with miscellaneous spare parts, a 2025 service document, and a clean Maryland title in the current owner’s name.

Ownership History

From the consignor: “This 1934 Dodge Sedan has been given a complete, ground-up restoration by the grandson of the original owner. It received a no-expense-spared, authentic reconditioning, and the car performs fantastically well. At the time, the car was renowned for its incredibly quiet, smooth drivetrain. It featured an ‘all-new’ front independent suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a seven-point ‘Finger Touch’ ventilation system. It also has a ‘free wheeling’ transmission at the pull of a knob that allows for clutchless shifting. The car is in the original configuration. It has also received a recent ‘sale prep’ service to make sure all systems are in operating order.”
