Vehicle Description
This classic 1946 Dodge Pickup has been nicely restored to get you
in touch with a bygone era. So the investments here were not about
a fancy stereo, and instead, your Sunday drive soundtrack is the
smooth tick of classic iron making its way down the byways.
This truck turns back the clock from the moment it comes into view.
The two-tone has a beautiful gloss where the black shows off the
curves of the fenders and the red highlights the clean creases of
the cab. There's no metallic or fancy pinstripes, and so it just
looks like you got home from WWII and were one of the lucky few to
get a new Dodge off the lot. While this has a true workman
attitude, it does have a touch of indulgence with the bright grille
trim and headlight eyelids. And the real wood in the truck bed is
far too glossy to have spent a day out on the farm. But the overall
impression is not about being fancy. It's just that kind of
old-school attention to detail that makes this one
irresistible.
The cab continues the honest, correct, and fresh feeling. The
grooved steering wheel, clear gauges, and smooth bench seat are a
true time capsule. The working heater looks nice under the dash,
and you'll really appreciate it on an early morning drive. There
are little detail upgrades like the floor mats and seat belts that
make this a better cruiser. But it doesn't take away from the
classic feeling of true Detroit iron. Even the fan on the steering
column is old-school metal.
The engine bay looks like it received just as much attention as the
rest of the truck. So the 230 cubic-inch inline six is nicely
displayed with a clean and classic presentation. The proper
investment means this hardy motor continues to fire up with a mix
of robust power and smooth delivery. And the three-speed manual
transmission gives you proper control over it all. The ride is
another exercise in minimalism. Leaf springs and bias ply tires are
far from modern, which makes them perfect in this time capsule of a
pickup. The full experience of being behind the wheel feels like
rolling history.
This is a well-restored pickup that has seen particularly good
care. That's why the sale comes with service manuals, classic sales
literature, spare components, a 6V battery tender, a bed blanket,
and a car cover. This Dodge defines "beautiful nostalgia" and so if
you're looking for today to feel like 1946, you need to be behind
the wheel of this classic. Call today!!!
