Page "Dodge" Paragraph 24

Civilian production at Dodge was restarted by late 1945, in time for the 1946 model year.

The " seller's market " of the early postwar years, brought on by the lack of any new cars throughout the war, meant that every automaker found it easy to sell vehicles regardless of any drawbacks they might have.

Like almost every other automaker, Dodge sold lightly facelifted revisions of its 1942 design through the 1948 season.

As before, these were a single series of six-cylinder models with two trim levels ( basic Deluxe or plusher Custom ).
