1952 Dodge Crusader
-
I have been on here once in awhile and had made a post of a Dodge car i was inheriting.(In January)I have just recieved it in my yard and have already started stripping floor mats and such.I was eager to see if it would be easy to try and start as i =t had been sitting for atleast 20 years(approx. guess from family)so i grabbed ahold of the fan and gave it a turn it turned with ease( awsome) i then pulled the dipstick to see if there was much moisture in the crankcase...and no white reisidue on the dipstick at all.(so excited)the main reason i am posting on here is to find info on the make and model of car.Every site i look at sends me to a Mayfair or a desoto.I do have reason to believe that the car was only in production from 1952-1957.I would like to find pictures of cars to have a visual...of colors that were present and fabric of that age and model.I would like to restore this car to origanal.I have tried several sites to do a vin search on the car to see if i could find production info but have been unsuccessful...any help or info would be awsome.TY

My information tells me that the Dodge Crusader was a Candian built car from 1952-1958 and later rebadged as the Plymouth Cambridge.
You may also want to go to the A.A.C.A. site. There is a guy there that has a lot of information on Dodge products and is very helpful.
I hope this helps a little
