Hey Billy - I don't think I have any Dodges left, I will check tomorrow.
All of the old Roach Hotrods definitely looked that way though, Big Daddy Roth style!
I think these were the only Dodge designs I had, and I'm almost positive I sold out of them on the bay, they were popular.
Old 'Cuda with "Mopwr" on the license plate.. think I sold all of these too..

Guys, Just so you'll know.
Bradington-Young has gone thru a lot of changes in management and product.It used to be an all hardwood doubled dowed frame and is now a lower quaility all plywood frame in an efford to cut costs.They are also getting away from Leggett and Platt hardware(cost cutting) and changing to a cheaper domestic manufacturer that in my opinion will not hold up nearly as well. Be careful when looking at Bradington-Young!
Bossman, as a newbie poster here, you need to establish some credibility before making blanket statements damaging to a brand like that. What is the source of your information? I have B-Y rolling into my store weekly and I've not seen any of what you allude to in their mainline goods. Recliners that came in today (4/19) have Leggett and Platt mechanisms and build has not changed.
They have a new ENVISION series out that does have less expensive components and build in it - in return for a lower price point. But this has not come into their mainline product and is only in that series.

An update to this...
Here's a photo of the underside of a Bradington Young # 4114 Recliner that I took out of the box this morning (one of the $ 769 deal recliners). As you can see, it has a Leggitt and Platt mechanism (hologram sticker), Is a hardwood frame base, with laminated hardwood frame and reinforced with cross-banding, and is bracketed. They have been making them this way for years and years.
I dug a little deeper into this in the quest for the truth - and BY is changing over to Ultra-Mech motion mechanisms, which are made in the USA. I'm told its not a cost cutting move, but that they find the Ultra-Mech to be a smoother unit. Time will tell.
B-Y Warranties:
Limited Lifetime on the Frame
5-years on mechanisms
5-years on seating support (springs)
Limted Lifetime on Cushion Cores
I recommend them and they continue to offer excellent value for the money.

Duane,
We've ordered 2 B-Y 4114s in Ranchero last week (they're supposed to be delivered first week in July). I'll give you my findings on these chairs when we get them, but after reading your update on delays in the leather industry, it might be quite sometime after the July date.
