1937 Dodge Series D5 2-Door Fastback Sedan

This current caretaker first heard about this car in September of 1984. A phone call to the owner in Belleville saw the current owners end up purchasing the Coupe on September 15th, 1984. The car was then taken to Elliott Auto Parts in Newtonville, Ontario; and shortly after put into storage for 11 years while Mr. Owens finished restoring a 1931 Ford Model A. Eleven years later, the car taken to another shop in Newtonville; the restoration started October 1995. Over the years, a number of new-old-stock parts and pieces were collected in preparation of the restoration. The chassis was then stripped, sand-blasted and painted. The owner then proceeded with the installation of new brake lines and gas lines; and a new-old-stock gas tank. The engine was overhauled before being installed, and the overdrive was then installed. Once this was complete, the car was sent out to have the upholstery done. When the car retuned, the bumpers were installed. The restoration was completed by 2005, and the car was road-ready. Since the summer of 2005, the car has been driven over 19,000 miles, even going to Detroit to celebrate 100 years of Dodge, where the car won First Place in its category.
