1934 Dodge DR Convertible Coupe Former "Best of Show" -AACA Nationals- "First Place Winner" Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance

Impressive, rare, and incredibly well preserved since the complete and accurate restoration prior to winning two of the most coveted Show awards in the country. At the time S. Ray Miller of Indiana was presenting his '34 Dodge DR at prestigious shows, he also owned and managed "One of the Ten Best Small Automobile Museums In the Country" -Car Collector Magazine. The resources to own the "Best" were at his disposal. He made several contributions of vehicles to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn Indiana. Failing health caused the sale of his remaining $6,000,000 collection in 2004. At that time, the buyer of this '34 DR paid $72,600. A testament to the quality and integrity of the restoration is simply its current condition. Our seller has thoroughly enjoyed many moments of great pride of ownership with this beautiful "work of art" from the 1930s, and now, is ready to pass stewardship to the next fortunate owner. You will always love having this masterpiece within viewing distance, yes, although just as important, this Convertible Coupe is well sorted and is ready to enjoy driving immediately upon arrival to your door.
From our seller:
"Wow, it has been an honor to own this 1934 Dodge DR Convertible Coupe. There were only 1,239 of this model built, in 1934. This is an amazing, fully restored example of this beautiful body style. It is still as stunning today as it was when it was restored, and judged "Best of Show" at the Antique Automobile Club of America event and 1st Place Winner at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance in 1994. The two-tone yellow paint and pin stripping provide amazing accents and color contrast. The chrome is perfect and the 216 CID inline 6 cylinder engine and the 3-speed transmission work perfectly together. It is almost impossible to use the word perfect when it comes to selling any vehicle, but this vehicle for its age and condition comes very close."

Notable Highlights include:
Special Yellow with a Tan Convertible Top
"Natural" Brown Leather Interior
Rear Mounted Travel Trunk
Dual Side Mounted Spares w/Covers
Dual Horns and Headlights
Steel Spoke Wheels
Leaping Ram Hood Ornament (First Year)
