Related Models

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.


  • 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook / Belvedere (Canada)
  • 1954 Plymouth Belvedere

For 1953 the Coronet was based on the Plymouth body, with the hardtop, convertible and wagon using the Plymouth's 114 inch wheelbase. The chassis frame on the Coronet six models was the same frame as used by Plymouth.

The club coupe and 4-door sedan Coronet models were on a longer 119" wheelbase with the extension being in the rear seat floor area. The longer models also go a different windshield, with the bottom corners coming to a point instead of rounded as on the other models.

The same models continued into 1954 with a new 4-door wagon added. The body was lengthened 5 inches by Bentley-Mitchell of Ionia, Michigan, and mounted on the 119" wheelbase.
