Model overview
Model description
Dodge finally broke from its Special and Special DeLuxe names in 1949, introducing its first post-war design. The new mid-range model, named the Meadowbrook and only offered as a sedan, was lower and wider than the previous model, with flow-through fenders. Like the entire Dodge lineup this year, it was powered by a 103-hp, 230-cid flathead six-cylinder engine with a three speed manual or Gyro-Matic fluid-drive, semi-automatic transmission.
For 1950 the Meadowbrook gained a bolder, completely new grille. The 1951 and 1952 models saw very little change due to the company focusing resources on Korean War work, though the grille was lowered and simplified slightly, and some trim changed.
For 1953, the entry-level Wayfarer was discontinued and the Meadowbrook line was divided into a base Special line with no trim, even around the windows, and a very basic interior. The Meadowbrook’s body was redesigned, with a more blocky, solid shape and a curved windshield. The rear fenders were now part of the body shell and a chrome strip ran along the side, curving over the rear wheel.
The 1953 Meadowbrook line now encompassed five models: the Special two- and four-door sedan, a fancier two- and four-door sedan, and a two-door station wagon. All Meadowbrooks carried the same six-cylinder engine. In 1954, the Meadowbrook range was simplified, with a Club Coupe and a four-door sedan being the only options. Both cars were priced right around $2,000. The standard six-cylinder motor was tweaked to produce 110 hp, while a Hemi V-8 motor that produced 150 hp and displaced 241 ci was now optional.
Dodge Meadowbrooks from this period are fairly rare, mostly because they were affordable and basic transportation when new and were put to steady work from the outset. The remaining models, if found in good condition, are actually quite charismatic in the context of today’s roads, though their low power ratings make them better for occasional use around town than for long-distance trots. Parts availability and trim sourcing can be a problem, so be aware of this prior to any purchase of cars with needs.

Common Questions
The value of a 1952 Dodge Meadowbrook can vary greatly depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history. Typically, you can expect to pay around $6,800 for a 1952 Dodge Meadowbrook in good condition with average spec.
Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.
Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.
Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.
The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
