The Dodge DG series was a passenger car from the Dodge company in Detroit , which was presented as a larger sister model of the DC series in January 1931.

The car had a side-controlled 8-cylinder in-line engine with 3938 cm³, which delivered an output of 84 hp (62 kW). The rear wheels were driven via a single-disc dry clutch and a three-speed gearbox with center shift. All four wheels had hydraulic brakes. The wheelbase of the chassis was 3004 mm. A four-door sedan, a two-door coupé and a two-door cabriolet were offered as bodies. In addition, the DG was also available as a chassis with all mechanical components for customers who wanted to commission a body shop themselves.

From July 1931, the convertible was discontinued; instead, a four-door Phaeton and two other coupes were offered.

In January 1932, the DK series replaced the DG.
