1950 Dodge Meadowbrook, Tompkins Square Park

The white bread of post-war Dodge models, was simply a product of postwar demand and surplus of materials. At the time, cheap and unremarkable in every way. Perhaps the equivalent of the Mercury Grand Marquis of the last decade. And yet, someone has preserved one and still drives it regularly. It has become remarkable and charming in the way that our plastic American cars of the 1990s never will.
