The 1949-52 Dodge Coronet shared its body with the DeSoto DeLuxe / Custom and Chrysler Royal / Windsor / Windsor DeLuxe models. The Coronet was on a 123.5 inch wheelbase while the DeSoto and Chrysler were 125.5 inches, the difference being in the hood ahead of the cowl. Body styles included a club coupe and 4-door sedan in all years plus a "woodie" wagon in 1949-50, an all-steel Sierra station wagon and Diplomat 2-door hardtop in 1950-52 and an 8-passenger long wheelbase sedan on a 137.5 inch wheelbase in 1949-51.

The Plymouth body was smaller, both length and width, and shared nothing with the Dodge Coronet.

A lower priced version of the Coronet 4-door sedan was sold as the Meadowbrook.

The Coronet was marketed as the Custom in Canada in 1949-50, with Canadian production consisting only of club coupe and sedan (both regular and long wheelbase) models.
