1937 Dodge 4 door sedan The retail price of this car in 1937 was $830.  I bought it for $850. in 1982.   Back in the 60's a woman brought this car to a garage for a repair, she never came back for it, the mechanic kept it behind the garage for several years and then moved it to his house nearby where it sat for several more years. Vandals broke most of the windows and mice had established a city throughout the whole car including in the gas tank.  The tire were all ruined and the upholstery was badly damaged. The paint was  worn through and rust was trying to eat it.  The mechanic finally decided to get rid of it.  He sold it as a junk car with no tile for $1.  That's right! One Dollar!  The new owner wanted to restore the car and he did several good things for the car but eventually lost interest and he decided to sell it. He put an ad in the newspaper offering the car for $850.  I already had my first 37 Dodge but I liked it because it was in pretty good condition.  I bought it and have had it ever since.  It didn't look like this when I first got it.  It was in pieces and needed a lot of things done but I was driving it 2 days after I got it.  It is not a totally restored example, just a great used car! The rims are from a 1936 Dodge, the last year they used that style. I have the original 37 solid rims too but I like the 36 style. This is what it looked like when I first got it. It was good mechanically but the body needed a lot of attention Paint removal
