Don Coatney Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 My new car is due to arrive Sunday. Pretty much original with a couple exceptions. Six volt positive ground with an alternator. Pertronix ignition module, DOT 5 brake fluid, and an overdrive transmission in the trunk. Engine was rebuilt a few thousand miles ago. Minor rust in a couple of areas but overall very sound. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Congratulations! Welcome to the Dodge crowd. Does it have fluid drive? Dave Yes to the fluid drive. That is one reason I bought the car. Less shifting in city traffic. Is the a former member of Earl's fleet? No, not Lou Earl. You may or may not remember Don Gaines. He was active on the old forum. He is the guy to my right in this photo taken in 2005 and the car is in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldguy48 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Beautiful car Don. My grandfather had a D24, and I always was impressed with the dashboard and steering wheel. Really classy. Congratulations !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 As has been said, that is very nice! Questions: how are your health issues and have you sold the Plymouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was going to ask the same question, Did you sell the Plymouth? Now feel better and drive the heck out of that Dodge and good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Reddie Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Real nice car Don. I bought a '48 Dodge sedan like yours back in '59 for $80.00. It was black and had the Fluid Drive. The engine had some miles on it but I kept the oil level up and we went all over the place with it too. That was the only car of all the ones I've had that the ignition switch failed on. I'd be driving along and it would shut of and then turn on again and backfire. The cop on the corner accused me of doing a "key banger" but he was cool and gave me just a warning. You are right about the advantage of the fluid drive in traffic. John R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
