1950 Dodge Wayfarer Sport Roadster

At the beginning of the 1960s Chrysler Corporation were not noted for exciting motor cars. Although things would change rapidly by the middle of the decade, one of the few offerings from any of the divisions that could raise a smile was the little Dodge Wayfarer. Although a business coupe and semi-fastback sedan were offered, it was the Sportabout that caused the most interest, harking back as it did to the age of the Roadster. Although very basic in concept and sparse in terms of equipment it was easy to dress up with every accessory yet still not spend too much cash. Nearly 3,000 Sportabouts found homes in 1950 at a shade under $1,800 each.
