Suicide Squad: 1940 Dodge Deluxe

The other day as my dentures were being cleaned, I spent the better part of an hour telling some young whippersnapper that classic old cars with pontoon fenders and suicide doors don’t just grow on trees. Everybody wants some new fangled horseless carriage that’s got self canceling turn signals and a hydrogen propulsion system…but they ain’t fer me. I need a car with a clutch pedal, ashtray (preferably one for each passenger) and an AM radio. Find this 1940 Dodge Deluxe Sedan offered for $6000 in Walnut Creek, CA via markbook mincemeat. Tip from John W.
