Dodge D Series export to Australia

by Bill Watson and Jim Benjaminson. Photos by Jim Benjaminson except where otherwise noted.

The 1935 4-cylinder Dodge DM series was the first Plymouth-based Dodge to be exported from North America. Built in Detroit, it was similar to the US Dodge cars, but, by comparing part numbers, it appears the Dodge DM was a Plymouth 4 (instead of the Dodge 6) with a Dodge radiator grille. These were the last 4-cylinder Dodges built in North America until the introduction of the Omni in late 1977.
