The Dodge Beauty Winner (or also: Dodge D2 series ) was a car made by Dodge in Detroit , which was presented as a successor to the Dodge New Value model in November 1935 as the 1936 model.

Like its predecessors, the car had a side-controlled six-cylinder in-line engine with 3569 cc, which made 87 bhp (64 kW) at 3600 rpm. This vehicle also had a single-disc dry clutch, three-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive. A semi-automatic system (clutch automatically actuated by vacuum) was available on request.

The Beauty Winner was available with two wheelbases: Most of the bodies were on the chassis with a 2946 mm wheelbase, only the seven-seater sedan had a 3251 mm wheelbase. The bodies had been slightly redesigned: The radiator grille was a bit rounder and slightly convex. A two- or four-door sedan, each in "normal" (without trunk) and in "touring" (with hatchback and trunk attached to the rear) were offered. There were also two different two-door coupés (Business and R / S), as well as a two-door and a four-door convertible on the short chassis. The R / S coupe and two-door convertible were available with either two or four seats. In addition to the sedan described above, the long chassis was also supplied with all mechanical components, but without superstructures, so that the customer could outsource it to bodybuilders who provided it with special superstructures. For business people there was also a four-door delivery limousine (only with a driver's seat).

The Beauty Winner was replaced by the D5 series as early as October 1936 .
