Dodge Regent Specs, Engines (1951–1959) — First Generation
The first-generation Dodge Regent is a straightforward rear-drive machine offered in coupe and sedan form, built around large-displacement gasoline power and a simple mechanical layout that rewards owners who prefer uncomplicated driving.
Each Dodge Regent engine in this generation is a gasoline unit sending power rearward, as in the 3.6 MT and 3.7 MT coupes with manual shift, or the 3.6 AT with an automatic. Manuals suit drivers wanting control; the automatic eases traffic. Rear-wheel drive keeps the drivetrain balanced and predictable.
