1949 Dodge Coronet 4-door Sedan on 2040-cars

Year:1949 Mileage:67421
Location:

United States

United States

This is a very nice 1949 Dodge Coronet in original condition.  Using the Old Cars Report Price Guide rating system, I would place this car between a 2 and a 3 on the Vehicle Condition Scale.

This car was repainted original equipment Island Green sometime in the mid-1980's.   It has been in good dry storage since then.  The car had 67,256 miles when  I purchased it in September of 1990.  The car now has 67,421 miles.  Thus, I have decided to sell the car, since I have had little opportunity to drive and enjoy it.   As far as I know, this mileage is accurate.

The interior is original.   The driver seat has a split seam which is shown in one of the pictures.  The front floor mat is original.  It has become brittle with age, When I raised it to have access to replace the brake master cylinder, it crumbled.  Both front door armrests have been recovered.   The headliner is original, with no holes or tears.   All gages work.  The radio does not work.

The rubber trunk mat is not original.   However, it was manufactured to fit a '49 Dodge.

The chassis and drivetrain are completely original.  There is oil seepage on the engine oil pan, but not to the extent that it drips.  Five knew B.F. Goodrich wide WSW tires were installed in July, 2013.  A new fuel pump was installed in June, 2011.   The brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders have been replaced at some time during my ownership.  Underhood is original.

The car maintains good oil pressure and constant engine temperature.  It has never overheated.

This is originally an Iowa car.  The floor pans, trunk, and fenders are rust free.  To my knowledge, this car has never had any body damage or rust repaired.  During my 24 years of ownership, I have seen no evidence of previous body work deteriorating.   All chrome and stainless trim appear to be original.

Shipping is the responsibility of the successful bidder.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet.

Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
