The Dodge Series D8 appeared in October 1937 for the 1938 model year, replacing the previous year's Series D5.^[1] Production of the 1938 Dodges ran from September 1937 until July 1938, which was the typical pattern for Dodge in this period.^[1] As before, there was also a "Junior" line of Plymouths using Dodge badges and trim for the Canadian and global export markets. The main version is sometimes referred to as the "Senior" Dodge to distinguish the two.
