Its curious cause if you look close, body number says "Detroit Michigan" Im attaching some pictures of the car

Plates are not there! I'm talking from Brazil. This car is a right hand drive, it was imported to Uruguay at 42. I'm looking for informations about color and if it is a blackout model or not? I know that its possible with serial number but my car is without this tag. Thanks

Hello, Is possible to get more informations only with body / engine number? I own a 42 Dodge and serial number tag is not there. Thanks

I'm looking for some external moulding for my 42 Dodge. Part numbers on attached file Thank you

Still looking for...

Hi, I took more pictures. The "rear brake drums" of my car are not broked (left on picture) and the hub is separated from the drum. The "front brake drums" are broken (right on pictures) and they are one part. I'm in need of two "front brake drums" cause they are broked, as you can see at the third picture. I don't know, but maybe the last owner changed the brake drums. The mesures of "front brake drums" are on the pictures. Please let me know if you need more informations or pictures. Thanks in advance

Hello Dave, Thanks for the information. Maybe the last owner changed the brake drums. I will post a picture here later Gabriel

Hello, I'm in need of an entire hand brake system for my 42 Dodge. I'm attaching photos of mine. Thanks Gabriel

Hello, I'm in need of an entire speedometer for my 42 Dodge. Thanks Gabriel

Ron I did not receive your email. Could you send again to gabriel_carvalho25@hotmail.com and to gabriel.carvalho2505@gmail.com? Gabriel

Slowly I'm trying to buy all the exterior parts that are missing. My desire is to make this car as original as possible. How many Dodge 42 in good condition should exist around the world? By the way, are you interested on sell your spare parts? I'm still trying to found the rocker trim with the clips and nuts and the stainless steel trim that goes around every window. I have an adress at Tualatin, OR. Its a company called Shipito. They consolidate packages and then send it to me. I can pay using PayPal. It's just an idea. Please, feel free to say no if you are not interested on leave your spare parts travel to Brazil. I will completely understand. The speedometer will be very dificult too. Please let me know if you found someone. Thanks again. Gabriel gabriel_carvalho25@hotmail.com

Hello Ron, I bought this one at ebay. Looks like the picture you attached. Thanks again.

Ron, Glad to hear you have all these parts. I found the part numbers of the the sill on a book. Waiting anxiously for the pictures. The horn was replaced, I found two vintage truck dual horns in Brazil, I'm attaching a picture of these. Do you think one of these are going to be a good option? Thanks again Gabriel

Ron Thank you again, you are helping a lot. I was completely lost with some topics. The fluid drive is one. I have a lot of work to do. Gabriel

A picture of the clock. I bought it at http://www.smithsclassiccarclocks.com

Hello Ron, Thank you for answer me and thank you for all informations. It will be very usefull for me. I'm glad to know that 1941 registration is not uncommon and the black color really exists. I watched a lot of color charts at Ebay and didnt see the black color. Your explanation make a lot of sense. Why a black sample if everyone knows how it looks like? I will need the whole speedometer, as you can see on the pictures. My speedometer was replaced with a non original speedometer. If you know some, can you please tell me? The clock is missing too, but I bought one a few weeks ago at www.smithsclassiccarclocks.com I think my car is a American Dodge. The canadian version that you are talking about is this one? http://carro.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-810443585-1942-dodge-coupe-tags-chrysler-chevrolet-ford-_JM I do not have the stainless stell around every window and the rocker trim to. I'm trying to find these parts. Do you really have it? Please send me a e-mail to gabriel_carvalho25@hotmail.com. You are right about the interior. It was replaced with non original pieces. It's ok for me and I'm not going to change it now. It will be very dificult and expensive to do it here in Brazil. My dash was painted with the same color of the seats so I do not have the wood grain look. Do you know how I can provide it? Here in Brazil we have some tapes that imitated wood, but I'm not sure if this is going to be the best option. Here is one example. http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-680173337-adesivo-madeira-de-demolico-1m-x-90cm-dcfix-_JM I saw your pictures a hundred times. My door panels are not like that but I'm not thinking to change it now. My car is at the mechanic now. The brakes are not working and after they solve this, they are going see if fluid drive is ok. The engine is ok. After this mechanic revision, I'm thinking in restore the chrome and the dash. In paralel I m buying the trims that are missing. I bought the park light bezel and the park lens this monday. I'm thinking to post pictures with all the evolution of this restoration here, what do you think? The pictures below are before I bought it. The car was at Camaqua, Rio Grande do Sul. Now it is at Lençóis Paulista, São Paulo. Thank you again for all informations and help.

Hello Ron, My name is Gabriel and I'm talking from Brazil. I bought a Dodge De Luxe 1942 4 doors a month ago and I have a lot of doubts about the restoration. I will be glad if you can help me with this. 1) My car was imported to uruguay. There, the steering wheel was on the right side until 1945. Do you know if the factory made this configuration or the car was adapatd at dealers? 2) Probably near the 80's the car came to Brazil. The document in Brazil was registred as 1941. Does the Dodge launch something like this: Year 1941 and model 1942? 3) The car color is black. Do you know if this color really exists? 4) I do not found the odometer. Do you know some that I could buy? 5) All original dashboards was equiped with a wood grain? I will post some pictures of the car later. I will start the restorantion and will try to keep the car like original. If you have some pictures of a original Dodge, please send me. Sorry for my poor english. Thank you
