Yes I Know, the quality is a bit iffy. But they are the only ones i have been able to find. Click the thumbnail and they dont look too bad.

1938 was a turning point for Dodge here in Australia, with T.J Richards finally releasing the "Safe-T-Steel" bodies. As advertised, Austral Motors were now locally fitting the richards bodies. The stamping and assembly pics were printed in 1937 but in 1936 the first bodies were exported to the U.S for testing and inspection. These first run prototype bodies were also demonstrated at various exhibitions across the country by the "HELL DRIVERS" Charlie Miller and Joe Campbell. They were jumped and rolled to display their strength in the same year, but not redily available until 1938.

Your attachments don't work for me. The AACA is currently selling many factory photos from several manufacturers. They are 8X10 black and whites, , $5.00 each, can be found on the library's ebay listing. The DB pics go back to about '33ish.

Weird!? they come up on my P.C. , but i just tried to view them on another computer and now they dont work! . .?

I just wanted to try and share some ads/ articles from the local news papers. They illstrate with photos some body styles that are a bit different here in Australia. 1938 was the first year Dodge was proudly promoted as" All Steel". Nothing in the library to suit this exersize.

Try going into the "Go Advanced" section of the post window. Then use the "Attach" icon there to try to hook up your photos here. There must be something wrong with your "attachment technique". :confused:
