Introducing our *1950 DODGE CORONET* Project. It's a Learning Curve But it's All Just Nuts and Bolts

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

****Help a guy out by commenting below, point us in the right direction***
So it was maybe a year ago at Vintage Torque Fest in Dubuque Iowa, my wife, Brenda, fell in love with this 1950 Dodge Coronet. I wasn't really sharing her fondness for this project and tried talking her out of it but here we are.
The previous owner claimed it would start with a squirt of gas but zero compression in cylinders 1 and 2 makes this nearly impossible, we're leaning toward a head gasket issue.
It's currently on jack stands while we take care of shocks, brake lines, gas tank and fuel lines, just trying to get as much stuff done while it's on stands and then get it on the ground and take care of the head gasket.
The previous owner also mentioned Gyro Matic? or semi-automatic transmission, but I just don't know. Anyway we're learnin.

    My Dad had a 49 when I was a kid. This brings back good memories. Looks to be in really well preserved condition. If it has the semi automatic transmission you mentioned, it would say "Gyro-matic" on the fender nameplate and the clutch pedal would have stamped into the rubber "Safety Clutch". There are lots of articles describing how this transmission works as well as KZread videos.

    Technology has changed so much since 1950 but the cars built back then were, like you said, built to LAST. Today's cars have no chrome but those cars are loaded! Your car looks pretty much rust free from the outside. I also think that cars from the 1950's had the nicest gauges and interiors.

    Nice Bounce sheet, LOL I do the same thing to help keep mice out of my vehicles. Not an 8 3/4 and no where near as strong from what I have been told. My 42 pickup has the same rear end. My guess is the driver doesn't have a auto dome light switch because they have access to the manual switch. Back in those days they thought differently than today.

    Those GD car's back then we're built like a damn tank but everything on them was made simple but complicated all at the same time, know what I mean? My old man like that era of cars, especially the Nash's and Hudson's and that kind of deal. When I about 6 years old he had a old 49? Plymouth, looked kinda like that one, but we lived in Chicago then and that frickin thing had bad rings in it and smoked like a sumbitch and he drove it from Chicago down to KY here and the damn thing made it too without any problems, and he drove the sob around down here for quite a while. I don't know, like I said those old cars were built like tanks, shit more like a old Timex watch, they take a licking and keep on ticking, haha, you remember that? Anywho, I'm sure you fellars will get it sorted out. 🎆🎇🤘✌️

    It’s called the Gyro Matic Two speeds in power range Two speeds in drive or high range Electronics on carb (yes on carb ) and ignition shift the gears only once when you lift your foot off the gas! The clutch is only for shifting to drive or reverse No need for depressing clutch till you park or need to reverse!!

    The passenger doors only have dome light switches!! Look again on the front door the switch is there under the hinges Dodge thought no one ever should enter the car on the driver’s side for safety reasons!!
