In the case of this car it is a (year) 1937 (make) Dodge (model) Six (body style) Two Door Touring Sedan!
DAF555 ◊ 2011-10-14 19:00	1935-1938 Dodge came with one engine and trimlevel only, Dodge named them only by their body styles on homemarket. On exportmarkets the Plymouth based cars often are referred to as Dodge Six though. 1935: Several models 1936: Dodge Convertible Sedan 1937: Dodge Touring Sedan, 2-door with built in trunk Dodge Touring Sedan, 4-door with built in trunk Dodge Sedan 1939: Dodge Six, Canada based on Plymouth. The engineering code can be found in handbook and other technical literature, but it was never published in commercial literature: 1937 Dodge instruction manual This is how Dodge labeled their vehicles, as did many other manufacturers. Why should we pretend that it never happened and invent other ways to name them?
nzcarnerd ◊ 2011-10-14 21:19	It is still bizzare and wierd. A Dodge is a Dodge is a Dodge - and not a Dodge Brothers - and as you say there is no model so the model box gets left empty - as with Lincoln and a few other makes. Why should we put the body style in the model box when there is a box for the body style. I will continue to put the body style in the body style box. If you wish me to be removed from the editing system please state your case. I also still see no sense in splitting makes up into separate categories where they should be in only one eg; Dodge and Dodge Brothers because they have a continuops history and there is no clear distinction between the use of each name, and Mercury and Comet, Lincoln and Continental when they all came out of the same factory, with the same owner and the same management team. -- Last edit: 2011-10-14 21:23:27
DAF555 ◊ 2011-10-14 22:24	But we do not have a body style box, we only have "Extra Info" for various excessive information that can´t be squeezed in the Model box. Often this contains trimlevels, enginesize or bodystyles. All of these can also be found in the Model box when the manufacturers name them only like that, there´s no difference between them really, they just refer to something of the car. Common with others, and it´s only bodystyles that you attack. Why is that? I don´t wish you to be removed, I see that you provide with a lot of knowledge on old cars. But I don´t understand your attitude towards history and historical documents, it for sure isn´t easy to deal with it, but just rejecting all original documents is very strange. There´s many times a difference between what cars basically are and what they´re called, we have lots of platform based models barely differentiated by their badges. And there´s a variety of cars renamed from market to market. The tradition here has for a long time been to find the correct commercial names for them, this should of course include even oddities from the early days of motoring, and brandnames that often are overlooked. Otherwise we´re rewriting history, and it´s also inconsistent if only some cars can be named like the manufacturers intended. The problem with similar/identical cars named differently has been discussed before and there will be a solution for that in the coming upgraded version of this site. It´s a far better way to deal with the problem in finding ways to connect that info, rather than just cutting it out and deleting it. -- Last edit: 2011-10-15 11:14:52
