25th-anniversary 1939 models, which Dodge dubbed the Luxury Liner
series. These were once again completely redesigned, with new
bodies for 1940, again in 1941, and a refreshing for 1942. However,
just after the 1942 models were introduced, Japan's attack on Pearl
Harbor forced the shutdown of Dodge's passenger car assembly lines
in favor of war production in February 1942. 1941 saw the
introduction of Fluid Drive for Dodge cars, which eliminated
stalling or bucking if the clutch were released too quickly. This
feature put a fluid coupling in between the engine and the clutch,
although the driver still had to shift gears manually. To view the
