1949 Dodge Coronet 4-door Sedan on 2040-cars

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.
