The Dodge Special (or also: Dodge DS series ) was a passenger car from the Dodge company in Detroit , which was presented as a successor to the DP series in January 1934.

The car had - like its sister models Dodge Standard , and Dodge Deluxe - a side-controlled six-cylinder in-line engine with 3569 cc, the 87 bhp (64 kW) at 3600 / min. performed. This vehicle also had a single-disc dry clutch, three-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The wheelbase of the chassis was 3073 mm. A four-door Aero-Brougham sedan and a four-door Aero-Brougham convertible were supplied as bodies. As was customary at the time, there were also chassis with all mechanical components that were outsourced to bodywork companies by the customer, who provided them with special bodies.

The successor to the aforementioned triumvirate was the Dodge New Value from January 1935 .
