_shel_ny Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Well not really, but that is what it was labeled as at the modern u-pull today. Also saw a 1953 1963 Volvo. Approaching from the back at first it appeared to be an older VW Beetle Edited November 5, 2016 by _shel_ny correct year typo on the Volvo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think it is a 40 or 41,but I would love to have it if it is as solid as it looks. Have any idea how much it would take to rescue that thing from the crusher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Location: --north (Up in the Adirondack Mtn's),central ny With that for posters location, then knowing is at a U-pull, will need to look up some phone numbers and hunt it down. I remember calling some of those places in the past, they pretty much refuse to tell you over the phone what is in inventory. But you show up and pay your $3 entrance fee, they will tell you some things then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 41 Dodge is WAY too nice and solid to get sent to the crusher after a few parts are pulled. It needs a home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy48 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I hope someone can rescue that Dodge. Crushing that car would be a sin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 crushing that car is nothing less than business to the crusher-man....metal in metal out.....no one can save them all....all of them not worth saving....warehousing the parts would the too costly....remove your hat and stand solemn for a moment in its passing..then go fix what you now own...just another side of the coin...

Plymouthy Adams Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I am not privy to any numbers...the whole front clip could be the 41 metal on a 40..who can tell as this is the only angle of the photo...and no dash shot, no body ID given or any shot or engine number stated also...and original posting saying 43.... I based the identity on what is seen..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Watson Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The Dodge is definitely a 1941 model - front clip and body. The 1941 Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler shared the same body and it was new for 1941. And that body was wider and longer than the Plymouth body all Mopar cars used in 1940. The sides of this Dodge bulge out around the belt line unlike the flat sides of the 1940 models. By the way, all car production in the U.S. and Canada came to an end at the beginning of February, 1942 and assembly plants were converted to war materiel production. Car production would not get under way again until the fall of 1945. There were no 1943, 1944 or 1945 model years.

John Reddie Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Yes, this is a 1941 Dodge. Interesting bracket on the front bumper I see. This car could very likely have the fluid drive I think. I hope it can go to a dedicated Mopar fan and brought back to life. John R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R I went back to see this interesting bracket I may have missed when looking...(as in the special license bracket that is fitted to the stock over riders for the 41 model) other than the stick on turn signal lamps..nothing there that is not stock...three out of three of my 41 front bumpers have these stock bars and mounts..a few items (6, failed math in school) missing for sure...

John R .I wish I lived close enough to make it worth my time to go get it IF a price can be established for the whole car,and almost glad I don't. If the price is cheap enough,I'd be hooking up my trailer and brining it home anyhow,and hoping I could find a local buyer. That car needs to be saved.

JerseyHarold Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 In my experience, pick-n-pull-type yards won't sell a whole vehicle. Once a car goes through the gates, it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Where I live the Pick-n Pull yard has a separate yard for the vehicles that they try to sell complete . You can't buy any parts from the separate vehicles , unless they don't sell , then they part them out . I have seen a couple of oldies there .

Flatie46 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Scrap metal is down now, he would make more money selling parts from it or selling the car whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferdball Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Agree with posters - it's a 41. I think that most of them were fluid drive. And also here's a 40 and 42 for reference... agree with the other poster.... fix the car you have before you die and your grandkids have to send them to the scrap yard.

Let me see if I understand this,ok? YOU managed to score all three of those solid cars from the same storage building? NOBODY should be that freaking lucky! They look like you could wash them and have nice cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferdball Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Dragged the 42 home today hosed it off! Here is is...... Headed over to the classifieds to list it.... will go up on eBay sunday... and up in price if I have to buy tires and get it all running and stopping! Neat old 42!
