In this video I rescue a 1947 dodge special deluxe from mr Hewes. We picked up this car a few years ago in one of the tank deals, then after a few beers I persuaded my dad that it was the perfect addition to his collection! how badly it will destroy his bank balance, time will tell!

There should have been a second line to that- my condolences to you and your family, the dodge and your trailer reversing will live on with all the other memories you have.

Tampering detection is the door moving against the bolt. The wind would rattle the Navy battle lab door in drafty Sims Hall, Newport. The door sensor would log it.

I enjoyed following along ...! Just some points to make , that looks like it could be a CANADIAN produced Dodge ( shorter wheelbase , different brightwork , no Fluid Drive ) If so , I believe they are equivalent to the USA PLYMOUTH which has the short wheelbase , and slightly smaller engine ( 217cu in vs 230 c.i. ). Few actual engine components interchange though they outwardly look similar. Electrics for both are positive earth , E brake works on a drum behind the gearbox. DeSoto and Chrysler 6s are different again .

Yorkshire Joke: man goes to stone mason to get a headstone for his late wife, the stone mason is told to carve the epitaph "She was Thine" - with an 'E'; so upon visiting the installed headstone he found the carving: "E She were Thin!" - Told you it was aYorkshire Joke! 😇

That should be a positive earth system. Almost all vehicles were positive earth until 1960 or thereabouts . My 1959 Ford Anglia was one of the first negative earth cars in the UK that I've come across.
