1953 Dodge Regent review from North America
"A funky old beast with gobs of charm"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car from a family in Vancouver -- they had owned it for 30 years and just slowly let it slide into disrepair in the last decade or so. I replaced the front shocks, king pins, wheel cylinders, rear shoes and tires. All fairly predictable.
General comments?
Fabulous funky old warhorse. Dreadful gas mileage -- maybe it needs tuning? Any suggestions?
