1955 Dodge Sierra Suburban

1955 Dodge Coronet Suburban Sierra

It is time to part ways with my wagon so I can pursue other automotive interests. The car is a 1955 Dodge Coronet Suburban wagon. It was featured in Old Skool Rodz Magazine in the January 2010 issue.

About the car: It has a rebuilt 360 Dodge motor with an Edelbrock Air Gap manifold and Holley 570 Street Avenger carb. It features a Chrylser distributor and MSD ignition box. It has an A904 3-speed auto trans, a Ford 9" rear end. The front suspension is Heidt's Superride IFS with KYB shocks. The rear suspension features 2" lowering blocks and Posies Super Slide leaf springs. Wheels are painted steel, 14X6" front and 15X6" rear with 195-75-14 and 215-75-15 whitewall tires.

It is painted in DuPont Chroma Base Dover White and Purple. Colors were mixed to match Krylon Dover White and Rustoleum Painter’s Touch Purple.

Many custom body mods were made including 3" extended front fenders with '55 Olds headlight rings, filled and molded grill with '55 Chrysler New Yorker lower grill bar, shaved tailgate and door handles and frenched radio antenna and the firewall has been smoothed. The taillight lenses are '61 Corvette. The stock wind wings were removed and the front door glass is custom one piece and is power controlled.

The interior upholstery is matching Allante Bisque, Ultra Leather Grape and Aluminum. The dash features custom teardrop knobs, a '63 Caddy steering column and '61 Caddy steering wheel Mooneyes gauges and vintage A/C. The front seat is a '61 Plymouth 60/40 bench while the rear seat is stock. All switch handles are custom teardrops to match interior colors. Sounds are by a Sony CDX-GT520 AM/FM/CD with 1200 watt amp and 5 speakers with custom subwoofer enclosure in rear.

The car is a head turner and you are sure to be the only one at the car show with a '55 Dodge 2 door wagon. No matter where you go. In fact, only around 4,800 Dodge 2 door wagons were produced in 1955, compared to over 55,000 Chevy 2 door wagons. There were over 8,300 Nomads alone.

Car is always garaged. It is an older build but it still in great shape. It is old school and that never gets old. I will include a copy of the magazine with the article on the car. It runs and drives great.
