This Dodge Bros, coupe is first and foremost, a very rare car. The
current owner had owned and loved this car for some 40 years, and
was his dream car since he was a boy in Helena, Montana when his
Father took him to the races, and a car with a #5 on the door won
every race. He told his Dad, “someday I'm gonna have a car just
like that!” This 1932 Dodge represents that #5 car that left an
indelible image on a 5 year old boy...Pretty cool!
The fact is, you just don't see the Dodge coupes of the '30's too
often. They were a little larger than the Fords and Chevy's which
is kinda nice as the Dodge provides more room in the cabin.
This car has always been kept inside and meticulously maintained,
and as such there is no rust in the car. The paint is deep and
glossy and has been on the car for 20 years! The bold chrome front
grill looks tough and take note of the “Dodge Brothers” badge at
the top...Very cool!
The engine is a 451 CID Indy block based on the iconic Mopar
440. It starts and runs excellent, and with fuel injection, you can
expect not only top performance, but certain reliability.
The automatic overdrive transmission is stout too as it was built
to withstand 1000 horsepower. The Differential assembly is Corvette
independent, so it's not only strong, but provides excellent ride
characteristics.
The interior blends nicely with the exterior of the coupe, and
provides some nice contrasting appointments such as the dash panel,
and the inner window trim.
All of these elements I've mentioned fuse together nicely to form a
well rounded, bold looking, unique Hot Rod, but what really makes
the '32 Coupe keep a smile on your face is the way it drives! Sure,
the engine, transmission and differential provide strong, great
sounding, smooth, high performance, but the way this coupe handles
the road, steers, and brakes all while providing comfortable
seating, A/C when it's hot, and some nicely placed options such as
power windows, and a tilt column with canceling turn signals, well,
this is a nice bench mark for other coupes of the 1930's.
Nice history, all steel, bold styling, excellent performance and
drive-ability, comfortable, and very rare. This coupe may just have
it all.
