Something doesn't look right about this 1947 Dodge. That's because it's a Plymouth at heart. Sometimes called a "Plodge," this Dodge Special Deluxe is a Canadian-built model, with Dodge trim and badges on a Plymouth body and chassis.

Chris Bamford and a friend drove it 2300 miles (3,700 km) from Edmonton, Alberta, to Hershey for the Antique Automobile Club of America Eastern Division National Fall Meet last month. They camped in the swap meet, sold some parts they had brought and entered the car in the Historical Preservation of Original Features class in the Saturday car show. HPOF is the fastest-growing class the AACA, giving deserved prominence to cars, like this one, that would lose their originality if they were restored.
