1950 Dodge Coronet Diplomat
The 1950 Dodge Coronet Diplomat was Dodge's first pillarless hardtop; apart from that, there's little to recommend it as a collectible. The boxy 1949 bodyshell was facelifted for 1950 with a cleaner grille featuring two strong horizontal bars with round parking lights at each end and a Dodge crest in the center, topped by a curved grille-surround trim piece. The hardtop added a natural sportiness to this otherwise conservative design. The low-suds Dodge six provided a sedate pickup at best. Fluid drive was standard with four-speed Gyro-Matic optional. Overall the car was slow, but well-built.Dodge Cars Image Gallery
