🇺🇸 1940 Dodge D14 De Luxe – Detroit elegance reborn in Switzerland
When the USA made cars like ocean liners, the Dodge D14 Sedan De Luxe embodied the promise of comfort and solidity. The Dodge D14 Sedan De Luxe we present today has not only crossed the century: it has done so with class.
🎨 Vintage two-tone: sandy beige and mahogany brown
Its dress, a subtle combination of beige and brown, is a tribute to the contrasts of the 40’s: the sober elegance of everyday life, but always ready to impress in front of City Hall or on Route 66. This original two-tone has been restored with absolute respect for period codes, right down to the shine of the varnish.
🔧 F ull restoration, goldsmith’s spirit
Mechanics, upholstery, chrome, carpets, wiring harnesses: everything was taken over, piece by piece. Not a screw, not a dashboard button escaped the meticulous eye of the team who put it back on wheels. The result? A car that revs up, purrs like a cat, and turns all heads – including those who know nothing about oldtimers.
📖 The anecdote: it was used… for a marriage proposal
The icing on the cake: during its very first post-restoration rally, this D14 served as the backdrop for an unforgettable scene. On the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, a young couple in love and in love with vintage made a stop. He opened the rear door, knelt on the running board and pulled out a vintage ring from the rear ashtray. It said yes. Since then, she’s been said to bring good luck to her passengers…
🚘 A piece of history ready to roll
More than a car, this Dodge is a living fragment of pre-war America, a time when driving was for fun, the road was an adventure, and chrome shone brighter than neon. Now it’s waiting for a new chapter – perhaps yours.
