And some info for the petrol heads among you:

“For the 1934 model year, Dodges were heavier, longer and had more powerful engines than their predecessors. The basic Dodge, the DR “DeLuxe” series, had a 117-inch wheelbase, while the larger, more expensive DS “DeLuxe Special” series rode on a longer 121-inch wheelbase; both models have large teardrop-shaped headlamp nacelles, styled hood louvers and skirted fenders.”
