product of Virgil Exner's design team called "The
Forward Look". When you see it, what strikes you,
though it will take some time for you to figure it
out, is the long, gentle, sweeping arc stretching
uninterrupted from headlight brow to tail light
tip. And those headlights, unlike the previous
year's Dodge—and unlike those of Ford and
Chevrolet—are hidden from the side by
forward-canted hoods. The taillights are hooded
with a complimentary rearward cant. It gives the
new Dodge a sense of being in forward motion even
while standing still. The doors open and close
with a solid thunk, not a hollow metallic whap
like today’s cars. The front grille is a handsome,
massive affair, and it looks spectacular between
those hooded headlights. Because of its "flight
sweep" styling, this car draws a crowd.Selling for
less than amount invested, $7500.(U.S.dollars)
