1928 Dodge Standard Six Tourer

Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire 12000 - 15000 Registration No: BF 5624 Chassis No: J67282 MOT: Exempt � Built to right-hand drive specification and supplied new to Australia � Treated to an engine overhaul and fresh clutch at a cost of �11,000 within the last year � Owned by a retired engineer and kept garaged Shortly after purchasing Dodge Brothers Inc for $175,000,000 in 1928, Walter P. Chrysler had his new acquisition�s four-cylinder models (on which its reputation had been founded) dropped in favour of an exclusively six-cylinder line-up. Becoming the backbone of the new range, the existing Series 140/141 �Standard Six� models were underpinned by a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by a 3.4 litre straight-six engine allied to three-speed manual transmission, the Standard Six was reputedly capable of 60mph and 21mpg and could be had as a four-door touring car, four-door sedan (in standard and deluxe variants), two-door coupe and two-door sports convertible. Rugged, reliable and easy to repair, the Dodge was built in both left-hand drive and right-hand drive configurations. Notably short-lived, the final, �J-Series� version of the Standard Six was only current from July 1928 to January 1929. Supplied new to the car friendly climate of Australia, this rare, surviving, RHD �J-Series� was imported to the UK in 2010. Entering the current ownership five years later, the four-door tourer has been kept garaged when not in use. A retired engineer, the vendor had the engine professionally overhauled and the clutch renewed during 2024 at a cost of some �11,000. Finished in Green over Black with Brown upholstery, �BF 5624� rides on wooden-spoked wheels and has both a hood and tonneau cover. A reluctant sale due to the vendor�s health concerns, this appealing Vintage Dodge is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document and history file.
