Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

315 V 8, pushbutton automatic, P S, P B, pushbutton radio, wheel covers, whitewalls. A clean, orderly 38,279 mile original car with a good older repaint. Good major chrome but badly pitted taillight housings. Clean and orderly throughout, with surprising original upholstery with clear seat covers.

Market commentary

Remember those clear plastic seat covers our fathers (or grandfathers) insisted go on new cars in the Fifties to preserve the upholstery Remember how they were hot and sticky in the summer and cold and slippery in winter Well, this is why we endured them: so collectors sixty years later could buy cars like this with original upholstery. This is unusually good money for a Dodge, but this is an unusually good and original Dodge with top of the line trim.
