Is it a Plymouth or a Dodge ? Beautiful and rare Dodge D25C Club Coupe owned by Robert King-Brown
|
 |
| Only 4,072 Club Coupes were manufactured between 1946 -1948. Note the Plymouth P15 sheet metal including the small ridge below the headlights. All trim pieces are Dodge D24 including Dodge ram hood ornament and crest. Hood opens at the front. Robert has owned the car for over twenty years when he originally restored it. He saved the car from a local auto wrecker. Originally it was missing many parts and the motor knocked like crazy. |

Standard P15 Special Deluxe dash but plate above radio speaker reads "Dodge". Emblem on steering wheel hub is also Dodge. Same two tone woodgrain treatment as Plymouth P15 was originally used.

Flathead is the big six with a 251 cubic inch displacement. This is the same size engine used in the U.S. DeSoto and Chrysler. Because of the lower production volume in Canada only one size engine was built by the Windsor engine plant for all Canadian models. Block length is 25-1/2 inches versus standard P15/D24 23-1/2 inch block. Also the 251 c.i. stroke and bore were different than U.S. version for the same displacement. The radiator support is reversed, moving the radiator forward two inches to accommodate the longer engine.

Notice how fender line does not blend into the front door like the standard Dodge D24 models. Fender is identical to the P15 sheet metal

|
Dodge branded hubcaps, but model designation is "Special Deluxe" just like a Plymouth P15.

|
Same taillight treatment and parts as Plymouth P15. Center tail light is plain, without the Mayflower logo. Stoplight trim piece is stamped with "DODGE".
Thanks to Robert King-Brown and Jim Benjaminson for proving background information on the D25C. |
