History
The Dodge D5 series like its predecessors had a side-mounted six-cylinder in-line engine with 3569 cc, which made 87 bhp (64 kW) at 3600 / min. Single-disc dry clutch, three-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive also had this vehicle. On request, a semi-automatic (vacuum automatically actuated clutch) was available.
The D5 series was also available with two wheelbases: most were on the 2921 mm wheelbase chassis, the seven-seat sedan, the five-seat Pullman sedan and the five-seat Victoria Cabriolet had 3353 mm wheelbase.
The bodies had been slightly reworked: the radiator grille had received a central web and the short chassis had a shortened by 25 mm wheelbase. As a two- or four-door sedan, each in "normal" with hatchback, but without trunk and in "Touring execution" with hatchback and rear trunk connected. There were also two different two-door coupes Business and a R/S, as well as a two and a four-door convertible on the short chassis. R/S Coupe and two-door convertible were available with either three or six seats. In addition to the bodies described above, the long chassis was also supplied with all mechanical components, but without superstructures, so that it could be awarded by the customer to bodywork companies that equipped them with special bodies.
By October 1937, the series D5 was replaced by the new D8 series .
