Commander 57 ◊ 2015-02-14 21:06	Hmmm... I'm inclined to say '49 or '50 Dodge.
DidierF ◊ 2015-02-14 21:18	Not much help to give:
CougarTim ◊ 2015-02-14 21:33	The rear fender trim doesn't wrap around the back, so 1949 (EDIT: ^And that first image clearly shows '49 taillights). Coronet or Meadowbrook - I think the chrome stone guard was standard on the Coronet, but it also appears on a lot of Meadowbrooks in images online. -- Last edit: 2015-02-14 21:34:00
DidierF ◊ 2015-02-14 22:39	Oh! "There was no breakdown of four-door sedan production between Meadowbrook and Coronet series. Therefore, the 144.390 figure represent both model lines." (Standard catalog of American cars) Zut. But! "The Coronet series was the top trim level 1949 Dodge." (idem) Would a taxi cab use a top trim level model?
