Dodge coupes

I found this one last winter.



And this one is on the old ranch where I grew up. It was my grampa's.






Obviously a 3 window and a 5 window but appear to be maybe 26-27 models?? Did dodge make a 3 and a 5 window at the same time? I see the trunk area is different too so maybe different years or was the trunk and rumble seat models different on the same years? Since the one was Grampa's I would like to ressurect it, knowing the side in the dirt is gone. The other one is decent but the doors are gone.

 

Cool find i had a 26 three window once they make great looking hotrods!!

 

any idea what year ther one on it's side is?

 

They did make 3 and 5 window coupes at the same time. The 5 window is NOT '24 or '25 as they would be Fisher bodied, with wood like a Chevy. I have one of those. They are not '27, they have a cowl vent. Can you post other detail pics?

 

this is my friends 29 dodge coupe.

 

This grille was found next to the one on it's side, presume it came from it.

 

Now you're getting somewhere. What is the measurement top to bottom? I'm headed to Hershey, may be a few days until I'm back, but that measurement will tell a lot about the year. BTW, it came off of a deluxe becausee it's nickled, would have had cowl lights too.

 

A new twist, yesterday I found a dilapitated heap for sale that is like the one on it's side (my gramp's car) and all that is much good is the drivers door and trunklid. I called the number and left a message.

 

Good Luck with those Dodge coupes. Around 1969 or 70 I found a 1928 Dodge "Fast Four" coupe in South Dakota ($25) and hauled it home to North Dakota, with the intent of building it into a rod. It was a 3-window, as I recall, and had a grill like the one you pictured above--- Really did like its body lines and thick solid metal. But, Uncle Sam sent me to Southeast Asia about that time and I had a follow-on tour of duty in Germany, so when I came home 4 years had p***ed and the folks had given the "old rusty-looking jalopy" away in the meantime. I miss it.

Your pics bring back some good memories. I'm putting together a 1931 Dodge pickup at present. Now that's some pretty scarce tin!

 

1931 Dodge DG8 Rumble Seat Coupe--see my avatar.

 

I just picked up a 27 last week. Is the car where you could shoot a detail picture of the roof wood?

I'm looking for some doors for one of them.

 

Get all three....Great that the 5 window was your gramp's old car, cool that you have a history there...makes the task of bringing it back that much sweeter!!

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

right on

 

Cool find. I just picked up a 28 Dodge Coupe the first of the year. Mine is a 3 window. Does anyone know where some doors and a trunk lid are?

 

Anybody got body parts for a '32? My pal needs LOTS of pieces.
