And here is another Black and White picture of a Blackout Model. Who knows it might be mine! No it has crome bumpers and mine are just painted.

Here is an interesting picture that I have of the 1942 Dodge Blackout Model. It is a prototype picture of just what the goverment wanted the late 42's to look like. Take notice no chrome! Jon

I have had more people ask me about who painted my old 1942 Dodge and all I can say is MACO! Of course we all know what the trick to getting a good paint job is just taking your time and preparing the car for painting. I did all my own body work and then I sprayed a coat of sanding primer to get a nice smooth finish. Before I took it to MACO I used 600 grit to sand down the primer and it was well worth the time spent to get such a smooth paint job. Oh yes and I think one of the other reasons that my paint job came out so good? Was the young people who work at MACO really enjoyed spraying an older car and not a Japanese tin can. One thing interesting is that when people look at the finish and I tell them its a $500 paint job most of them say they thought it would cost them thousands of dollars to get a paint job so well done. So if your strap for cash and want that old machine to look nice and shinny-go to MACO but do the prep work yourself. PS I placed an attachement picture if anyone is interested the paint job I got.

I have used standard tractor oil in my fluid drive and it works great.

I own a 1942 Dodge Blackout four door sedan and was wondering if there are any other people on this site that might have one? I will post a picture of it in the Photo area thanks-Jon

Looking for a Dodge Fluid Drive 1942 to 1948 would like to get one that's New Old Stock but would accept one that used but doesn't leak to much. Jon Jipjob@Yahoo.com
