  • Body Colour: Red

The 1934 Dodge lineup was typical of early 1930's styling, with flowing fenders softening the rectilinear lines of the vertical grille and straight-sided body panels. But Chrysler had already established itself as an engineering company, and the 1934 Dodge lineup shared some corporate technical highlights with its sister company. Pioneers in the use of hydraulic brakes, for example, a Chrysler first in 1928, and synchromesh transmission in 1933, both innovations incorporated into the '34 range. There were three trim levels and eight body styles in the Dodge lineup for that year, all models propelled by the same 3.7-litre flathead inline six-cylinder engine rated at 87 horsepower.

Two convertibles were offered, a sedan and a coupé. Dodge's total passenger car production in 1934 was just 1,589 units most of them (1,239) convertible coupés. Offered here, is one of just three of the original 1934 Dodge Convertible Coupé production that is thought to exist today. Discovered in 1975, the restoration took some eighteen years to complete and was carried out under the watchful eye of some Swedish marque experts mainly from Soderkoping. Taken back to bare metal and now finished in two shades of Red this is a superb restoration. It looks as though every single detail has been considered and restored using the best craftsmen available.

The coachwork appears unmarked with a depth of finish that can only be achieved by coat after coat of quality paint, the chrome and brightwork gleam, and the interior is period correct and inch-perfect. We understand that this pretty Dodge has only covered some 2,000kms since the restoration.This exquisitely restored, rare, convertible has all the style of the American Thirties, and would look at home parked on the sweeping gravel drive outside the Plantation House in Atlanta, awaiting the arrival of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.
