Default 1939 Dodge D11 Luxury Liner Deluxe - Project Car - Pics n Vid

Hey guys, this car has actually been in my family for a NUMBER of years - possibly 15-16 yrs, since i was under 10 yrs old regardless. Ive not done a whole lot with the car, but this year, assuming i find a decent job with decent pay, i plan to start doing some pretty intense work on this baby.

We originally bought the car non running for $500.00 and it needed some carburetor work (if my memory serves me right) among other things i can not remember at all. We still have the OEM wheels, OEM radio and OEM steering wheel which, depending on which way i go with the car, may or may not be used in the restoration.

As far as specs. go for this car heres what i can find on it

nice car now drop a 4bt or a 6bt and restore it to pretty much factory and you'll have a classic with an epic twist haha

It's still factory and it's unusual so it should be fun. Looks like a stretch limo version of a Volkswagen.
