Shortly after purchasing Dodge Brothers Inc for $175,000,000 in 1928, Walter P. Chrysler had his new acquisition’s four-cylinder models (on which its reputation had been founded) dropped in favour of an exclusively six-cylinder line-up. Becoming the backbone of the new range, the existing Series 140/141 ‘Standard Six’ models were underpinned by a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by a 3.4 litre straight-six engine allied to three-speed manual transmission, the Standard Six was reputedly capable of 60mph and 21mpg and could be had as a four-door touring car, four-door sedan (in standard and deluxe variants), two-door coupe and two-door sports convertible. Rugged, reliable and easy to repair, the Dodge was built in both left-hand drive and right-hand drive configurations. Notably short-lived, the final, ‘J-Series’ version of the Standard Six was only current from July 1928 to January 1929.

Supplied new to the car friendly climate of Australia, this rare, surviving, RHD ‘J-Series’ was imported to the UK in 2010. Entering the current ownership five years later, the four-door tourer has been kept garaged when not in use. A retired engineer, the vendor had the engine professionally overhauled and the clutch renewed during 2024 at a cost of some £11,000. Finished in Green over Black with Brown upholstery, ‘BF 5624’ rides on wooden-spoked wheels and has both a hood and tonneau cover. A reluctant sale due to the vendor’s health concerns, this appealing Vintage Dodge is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document and history file.
