According to the book Canadian Cars, 1946-1984 by R. Perry Zavitz, page 107: "... names were used by the Canadian-type Dodges beginning with the 1951 models. A deluxe Suburban was a new model in the 1951 range, and it was called the Savoy, like the similar Plymouth model. The Kingsway name was revived for use on the business coupe and compact two-door sedan."

plymouthcranbrook Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 It is nice but optimistically priced. I don’t see a lot of demand for the business mans coupe. And the wide white walls are out if place as well. Maybe worth $7000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBob Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I like this one much more than that bright red example. The color is nice, and I presume, original spec. The whitewalls may not be correct, but they look good. I'd gladly drive this one to the local cruise nights. Priced a bit high, maybe $7500.

Twisted Shifter Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It doesn't matter what color they're painted, it's still an awkward, unbalanced design, IMHO. The 2-door sedan is styled much better: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2-door sedan is styled much better: This is a much nicer body style. Agreed. The business coupe had a lot of trunk space, so it was well suited for the traveling businessman.

Dosmo Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I really like this car - the color is right for this body style, and I like just about everything I see - except for the painted mustache bar atop the grille, right below the DODGE letters. At this asking price, one would expect all paint & chrome issues to be sorted out, for the most part. It begs the question, was there some damage in this area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this asking price, one would expect all paint & chrome issues to be sorted out, for the most part. It begs the question, was there some damage in this area? The " painted mustache bar atop the grille, right below the DODGE letters." may be because while the sheet metal stampings are the same as the American production Plymouth, the 1951 Dodge-style grille had to be accommodated to create the Canadian production Dodge Kingsway. Checking a 1951 Dodge Kingsway sales literature would confirm what the proper finish should be. "Plodges" have a variety of unique components being something of a mix 'n match for the Canadian market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
