SERIES D-11

The 25th.anniversary of the Dodge nameplate were ten cars featuring all new styling. There were three cars in the low priced special sub series and seven in the deluxe line. Two of the deluxe models were on the extended length chassis, which now had a 134 inch wheelbase. The regular chassis also grew about two inches . Appearance characteristics of these " luxury liners" included a rounded hood with narrow, horizontal grill bars in the nose, near the top center. Below this were larger grills (with horizontal bars) in the fender splash aprons , divided by a "v" extending up to the sides of the hood . The all new bodies were longer and wider, with the door bottoms flared outward . Headlamps were fully recessed into the front fenders. Each side of the hood had two groupings of short horizontal louvers with one group at the front and the other at the rear. New features included a "remote control" gearshift mounted on the steering column and independent front suspension with coil springs. Two piece split windshields were used and a new "safety light" speedometer had a lighted bead that glowed different colors depending on the car speed. Standard equipment included autolite ignition, hydraulic brakes , dual taillights, door safety buttons on garnish moldings, 18 gallon gas tank, steel disc wheels and no draft ventilation. A special turret top coupe with a rear "split window" was built by the Hayes Body Corp. and known as the town coupe .

NOTE 1:The range of serial numbers suggest that approximately 70,000 Special and 114,457 Deluxe Dodge "Luxury Liners"were built. NOTE 2:Differnt sources have conflicting production on figures for D11 Deluxe models.We belive these are to be the most accurates available. NOTE3: Hayes Body Corp. supplied 1,000 Town Coupe bodies to Chrysler. Since 264 Desoto Town Coupes and 134 Chrysler Town Coupes were made it is surmised that the remaining 602 cars were Dodge Town Coupes.
