All I could find was that the DG was buuilt in 1931.



Dodge - Series DG - Eight: The new DG models entered production in Jan, 1931 as a true 1931 series. The line was initially made up of four eight cylinder cars. Appearance characteristics included a wider radiator, lever operated radiator shutters, twin cowl ventilators, new instrument panel (made of Mahogany) and a swinging windshield. These cars were the first to use the Rocky Mountain Ram as a hood ornament. Equipment features included Delco-Remy ignition, hydraulic brakes, double drop frame, downdraft Stromberg carburetor, rubber mounted motor suspension, three spoke steering wheel, adjustable seats and five wire spoke wheels.
