History of the D5 Convertible
The Dodge D5 was a full-size car produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 1939 to 1941. It was introduced as a replacement for the Dodge D8, and was offered in a range of body styles, including sedans, coupes, and convertibles.
The Dodge D5 Convertible was a two-door open-top model that featured a power-operated convertible top, chrome-plated bumpers, and a distinctive grille with horizontal bars. It was powered by a 3.8-liter straight-six engine that produced 91 horsepower, which was paired with a three-speed manual transmission.
The D5 Convertible was only produced for a short time, from 1939 to 1940, due to the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent shift in production towards military vehicles. As a result, the D5 Convertible is a rare and sought-after collector’s item among classic car enthusiasts.
Despite its short production run, the Dodge D5 Convertible is considered a significant model in the history of Dodge and the American automobile industry. It showcased the company’s commitment to design and engineering, and served as a bridge between the pre-war and post-war eras of automotive design.
