Charlie Olson Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Sunday, I went to the big Glendale City College Swap & Sell Meet. I met this gentleman, Steve, who is selling this nice Dodge Coupe. It has a V-8 engine and that is all I know. His number is 623-866-6775. I do not know him and have no interest or any involvement in this car for sale. The paint is in need of being redone. He has reduced the asking price from $10,500 to $9,500. Charlie Olson, Community Outreach, The Wood Car Company Quote
48mirage Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I don't believe that is a 49. Sheetmetal, grill and bumpers are wrong. Unless the first series for 49 was an exact copy of the 48. Quote
Young Ed Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I don't believe that is a 49. Sheetmetal, grill and bumpers are wrong. Unless the first series for 49 was an exact copy of the 48. At least for plymouth the first 1/2 of 49 mopar was still producing the 46-48 versions. Quote

Yes, that is what the owner said about this car being a "first series 1949", very much like a few P15 bodied 1949 Plymouths I have seen. His AZ registration is for the year 1949. Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 OK.......I thought Plymouth was the only one with the "early 49". Now Dodge. How about Chrysler and DeSoto.....did they do that too??? Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 Nice does that have a rear seat??? I really think the only other old car I will ever buy again will be like the one you attached. I love the coupes-Jon Quote
Fluid drive Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 I believe I used to own that car! It belonged to a woman named Fanchen Winsler who bought it from Roy Brooke Motor Co. new. I sold it to a guy from Bakersfield named Bowersock back about 1995 who sold it to someone in Arizona. If that is my old car I had overhauled the D-24 powerplant back in the 70's. It actualy is a '48 but some early 49's were still that body style called a club coupe. Fluid Drive Quote
