Suicide doors open to reveal the distinctive character of this 1938
Dodge D8 Touring Sedan finished in black paint. Four-door sedan
configuration features classic proportions with chrome brightwork
accenting vintage lines. Amber fog lights complement period-correct
styling, while the hood ornament adds an authentic touch. Steel
wheels with chrome beauty rings and hub caps mount 205/70R15
whitewall tires that complete traditional appearance.
Beige interior surrounds occupants with bucket seats upholstered in
cloth that appear sourced from a later model Dodge or Chrysler
vehicle. Door panels have been reupholstered to match the seating
surfaces. The floor shifter protrudes through the floorboard for
manual gear changes, while the center dash bezel has been machined
from aluminum along with the control buttons. Power steering
assists handling, and an AM radio provides entertainment, though
the merlot-painted interior surfaces add a custom touch throughout
the cabin.
The 230 flathead inline-6 engine reportedly originates from a 1959
Chrysler and has been rebuilt with a .30 overbore. Dual
single-barrel carburetors feed the motor, which connects to a Borg
Warner T5 five-speed manual transmission borrowed from an S10.
Updated tubular A-arm front suspension with coil springs and shocks
replaces original setup, while rear maintains a solid axle with
leaf springs. Power disc brakes handle stopping duties with dual
exhaust and rack-and-pinion steering rounding out mechanical
upgrades.
