1955 Dodge Kingsway

This car is rare, very rare!
1955 Dodge Wagon New Zealand new, yes NZ New.
Makes this baby a factory right hand drive that has live all its life in NZ.
​A previous owner took it off the road in 1986 for a full rebuild. He dropped in a later 318 V8 but never finished it.
I found it in a shed in lots of pieces but with no rust in it at all, not a bit!
As it was all apart we took it further and lifted body from chassis and gave that a going over with fresh new paint. Under side has all new sealer on, an easy job to do while it was on rotisserie.

This car is full of character with a stylish front.
Custom green paint has a fine metallic that makes this car really spring to the eye and brings out the chrome nice.
Has a later 318 and a Falcon dif sitting on Ford wheels.
I still do have the original wheels and hub-caps. I may put some white wall tyres on? See how that goes?

We carried the silver from the chassis through to the engine to give it that clean look. I think it looks really nice
