1946 Dodge Pickup Street Rod in Bridgeport, CT

History Chrysler was prolific in its production of war material from 1942 to 1945, and Dodge in particular was well known to both average citizens and thankful soldiers for their tough military-spec truck models and ambulances like the WC54. Starting with the hastily converted VC series and evolving into the celebrated WC series, Dodge built a strong reputation for itself that readily carried over into civilian models after the war. Civilian production at Dodge was restarted by late 1945, in time for the 1946 model year. The "seller's market" of the early postwar years, brought on by the lack of any new cars throughout the war, meant that every automaker found it easy to sell vehicles regardless of any drawbacks they might have. Like almost every other automaker, Dodge sold lightly facelifted revisions of its 1942 design through the 1948 season. As before, these were a single series of six-cylinder models with two trim levels (basic Deluxe or plusher Custom). This beautiful ?46 Dodge Restomod Truck was purchased out of Pennsylvania. The previous owner purchased the truck as a rust free Oklahoma survivor and did the restoration in his shop. The truck has only 400 miles since being built!
