Summary:
Used 1949 Dodge Wayfarer
Location:
Hilton, NY
Description:
Wayfarer Roadster Inline 6 - with Manual on the Column Very wellkept in beautiful condition Owned by a Mopar Enthusiast You mightbe familiar with the number of postwar roadsters that gainedpopularity in the immediate postwar era. Many fondly remember thosewearing MG, Triumph, and other British badges. Less common arethose from American marques such as Chevrolet, Kaiser-Darrin, andDodge. Wait a minute, Dodge? Well, yes. For 1949, Dodge introducedits first true Detroit-built roadster since 1931. The so-calledWayfarer Roadster arrived alongside Dodge's redesigned models inFebruary 1949. The company would have introduced them during thetraditional fall 1948 new model rollout, but Chrysler Corporation,then America's second-largest automaker, didn't have everythingready. To fill showrooms, 1948 models, which were, in reality,slightly restyled pre-war designs, were sold as "first series"1949s until the new models were produced. Called the "secondseries," the 1949 Dodges were all-new but hardly exciting due totheir drab, boxy, slab-sided styling. The new looks reflected theconservative, if dowdy, taste of Chrysler President K.T. Keller,who rejected the "longer, lower wider" ethos of GM's design chiefHarley Earl. "We make cars to sit in, not piss over," Kellerreputedly said. Perhaps to attract buyers to its staid productlineup, Dodge introduced the entry-level Dodge Wayfarer as anotchback business coupe, a fastback two-door sedan, and two-doorroadster models. The roadster was priced at $1727, or $18,583 in2019 dollars when adjusted for inflation. Clearly, it was designedfor the tightwad who wanted a drop-top but didn't want to spend awhole lot to get one. After all, competing convertibles cost more,including Plymouth ($1982), Ford ($1886), and Chevrolet ($1857).
