Dodge

The Kingsway is built by Dodge for export markets, the name was first adopted for the 1940 models. Kingsways were basically rebadged Plymouths, although they were often equipped with Dodge bumpers and trim. They were supposed to help overseas Dodge dealers to sell cars in a lower price class. They continued through the 1959 model year, with many different body styles and variations depending on the market they were intended for and which Plymouth models were available at the time. The Kingsway was the lowest-priced Plymouth Deluxe model in 1949-52, 1954-58 (based on the Plymouth Plaza series) and 1959 (Plymouth Savoy). The Kingsway DeLuxe was based on the Plymouth DeLuxe (1946–50), Cambridge (1951–53), Savoy (1954–58) and Belvedere (1959). The top line Kingsway Custom was Dodge's version of the Plymouth Special DeLuxe (1946–50), Cranbrook (1951–53), Belvedere (1954–58) and Fury (1959). For 1959 only, the Kingsway offered a model based on the Sport Fury, the Kingsway Lancer. With the introduction of the Dodge Dart for 1960, the Kingsway line was dropped.
