Vehicle Description
Dodge finally broke from its Special and Special DeLuxe names in
1949, introducing its first post-war design. The entry-level model
was the Wayfarer, which was lower and wider that the previous
model. The car was apowered by a 103-hp, 230-cid flathead
six-cylinder engine that was paired with either a three speed
manual or a Gyro-Matic fluid-drive, semi-automatic transmission.
The Wayfarer was offered as either a two-door business coupe, a
two-door sedan, or a roadster-the least expensive full-size
American droptop available at the time, priced at $1,700. The
Wayfarer nameplate only lasted 4 model years, and the rare roadster
model for only 3 (49-51). Dodge Wayfarers are quite rare today,
mostly because they were ultra-affordable and basic transportation
when new and were put to steady work from the outset. The remaining
models, if found in good condition, are actually quite charismatic!
