Vehicle Description
A 1938 Dodge D8 was a car that dared to be different. With better
integrated headlights than a Chevy and a more thoughtful sedan body
design than a Ford, it has a distinctive appearance that's rare
today. Add in the full hot rod custom treatment, and you've got the
recipe for an attention-getter at a terrific price.
This D8 sedan is distinctive from the moment you catch a glimpse of
the front end. After all, the modern magenta is the kind of color
that commands attention. But more than just a cool presentation,
take some time to appreciate the level of professionalism in the
paint. There's shine of the metallic elements and the clearcoat
combine to make sure that the light really accents all of the
Dodge's unique curves. So of course, you can tell they took the
time to get the body right. This has had a few inches chopped out
of the roof to give it a great hot rod stance. And the way the
suicide doors still shut with confidence tells you all the custom
work was first-rate. In fact, this whole presentation is done well.
It mixes classic elements like the winged badges and blue-dot
taillights with street machine upgrades like the expertly deleted
rear bumper and solid polished wheels.
Open any the of the four doors to see the custom interior. Multiple
tones of gray give this a nice coordinating feeling while you also
get to enjoy the comfort of tweed seats and ultraleather door
panels. There's plenty of room for family and friends, and there's
even an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth connection to keep
them entertained. But the best features are reserved just for you.
The driver's bucket seat power adjusts to the ideal driving
position. And so you get to easily grip the B&M shifter and the
Grant GT steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. Plus, the dash
might be painted in the modern magenta to match the exterior, but
the full VDO gauge package has a great vintage look.
Lift either side of the butterfly hood to see another great
upgrade. Chevy's 350 cubic-inch V8 is a great motor to have because
there are plenty of parts available to customize it. That's why it
not only looks bold from polished components, but it's also backed
up by performance upgrades such as an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers. Plus, new cams and
lifters were installed in 2014. And while you'll enjoy the power
from the V8 and rumble of the side exhaust, this one is a delight
to drive, too. With a three-speed automatic transmission, Mustang
II-style independent front suspension, power steering, and power
front disc brakes, this Dodge knows how to cruise in comfort.
There's even an aluminum radiator w/electric fan to keep this one
running cool even if you're in traffic.
Here's the ideal custom car to drive all day Saturday, and then be
the distinct entry for the car show on Sunday. So call today before
someone else snaps up you perfect weekend machine!
