Also, the hood ornament is much too small and the grille doesn't quite match. What we have here is a '51/'52 Dodge. Changing the listing.

Commander 57 ◊ 2024-03-27 15:11	Good point about the smaller hood ornament on the base Jet. I had thought that was only true in 1954 but I now realize the '53 base model also had it.
