Last week I bought this 1949 Dodge in N.C. Put in new battery today, and it started up easy.

Nice car and great that you got it running that easily. It has lots of nice accessories as well, I see, like the sun visor, spot lights, and skirts. Great find!

Good catch.

"Spot lights", I thought those were the back up lights. Has 14 inch wheels. The 15 inch hubcaps came with it. Radio works. Clock does not.

You should send me the clock. I can toss it for you!

[Plymouthy Adams]

dirty dan..clock...? I thought you owned a P15

[dirty dan]

I do.

I work with a guy that says he can show me how to repair thoses old clocks. I want to give it a try.

Congrats that's an awsome find! Ive never see the stainless on the bottom of the front fender before. Was that an option on these, because i really like the way it looks!

[Robert Horne]

All the stainless is in great shape. One little dimple in 1 piece, I can work out. I put in a new battery, and a rebuilt carb. Started up and runs very good. Having difficult time getting the rear brake drums off. Auto store does not have a heavy duty hub puller. The trans working good. I have it jacked up with no rear tires, to check out the trans.

Looks to be a little aftermarket to me, no bomba:)

[Cpt.Fred]

anyway, looks great!

[Don Coatney]

This car looks like a very solid survivor. Good find! What are your plans for it?

[Robert Horne]

Hi Don, Plans are for now to get it road worthy so as to go to cruise-ins. I would like to paint the bottom half the original maroon or close to it. I would like to paint the top half, white I guess. I have seen photos of cars on this site with 2 tone paint that really look great. Interior is original, so I will have to find someone that can re-do the seats. The headliner is sagging, but material is good, I can re-do that. The floor needs replaced by the driver section, but the rest of the floor is great. Very little body work to do. I have a set of Ford Ranger 15 inch wheels, so I can use the original hubcaps. The Dodge was smoking until I disconected the oiler device. I put on a 53 truck carb that works great, but the choke linkage is different, so okay for now.
