Dodge released its first six-cylinder model in 1927. By the following year, the Six line had been divided into the large Senior Six and smaller Junior Six. For the 1931 model year, the Dodge Six featured a 211-cubic-inch L-head inline-six with a single Carter side-draft carburetor backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Various body styles all featured conservative styling, with the most striking arguably being the Roadsters and Coupes. Unfortunately, three years into The Great Depression, sales numbers were so low during 1931 that, beginning in July of 1931, Dodge started selling later production 1931 cars as "first series" 1932 models and titled them as 1932. The true 1932 DL model did not start production until November 1931.

A registration document dated 15 April 1931 notes that the original owner of this attractive Six Series DH Coupe was a Mr. Clarence Eisaman of Hunts Point, New York. It is presented today in a striking, period-correct polychrome color scheme furnished during a well-detailed, complete restoration undertaken just prior to entering the consignor’s long-term ownership.

The cabin and rumble seat compartment are trimmed with attractive pleated maroon leather upholstery. A black dashboard with minimal instrumentation lends an air of clean simplicity to the interior, while a pair of cowl lights and auxiliary Mopar fog lamps enhance the exterior. Other authentic Series DH equipment includes an external sun visor, pop-out windscreen, color-matched wire wheels, and a dash-mounted traffic signal viewer.

This Six Series DH also sports a correct, die-cast Dodge Brothers “shooting star” hood emblem, with 1931 being the final year it was used before Chrysler replaced it with the Ram.
