This 1941 Dodge Command Car is part of the Chrysler collection and was present (and we were permitted to drive it drive) at the Dodge 100th anniversary.
This 1941 Dodge Command Car was featured at Dodge’s 100th Anniversary event. It was a favorite among many journalists and it was one of the few vehicles driven that day that could nearly reach its top speed during the short driving loop.
Dodge had a 1/2-ton commercial truck that was used to build the 1941 Dodge Command Car. This model has an 80 horsepower, flat-head six cylinder that was bolted to a four-speed manual transmission. Driving it took a hint of finesse and a bit of brute force. Changing gears smoothly required double clutching both in and out of gear.
Consider the 1941 Dodge Command Car a cousin to the original Power Wagon.
Speaking of the Ram Power Wagon…
