Or 2nd grand just turned 4 last month.

We had him Saturday.

Bracing and gritting teeth because he is usually a handful.

Must have gone through some "instant maturity", because he was delightful.

We raved when we returned him.
 
What's up with those smeared rivets again?

How come some are and some are super clean?
 
Those are both 1939 Dodges. But look at the differences between them. The front one is Canadian Dodge, made in Windsor, Ontario. Can. Dodge's were built with Plymouth bodies and fenders. In 1939, each Chrysler division used a different shaped headlight bucket, lens, and bezel. Plymouth and Can. Dodge's used the square one pictured here, while the U.S. Dodge beside it used round pieces. Desoto used teardrop shaped headlight assemblies, and Chrysler used oval ones. This was this last year of this style of lighting, as 1940 brought the use of more efficient one-piece "Sealed Beam" headlights. The front grill is a unique "Dodge-ized" piece made to fit the Plymouth front fenders. The Plymouth body is also not as streamlined as the 1939 U.S. Dodge body beside it. Chrysler and Desoto also used this more modern looking body. The 1939 Plymouth/Can. Dodge used the chunkier 1938 body, with a "V" windshield adapted to it. One can see differences in the front grills, although they are similar.
