Vehicle Description
It's not just that you're looking at a rarely-seen 1955 Dodge C1
pickup; it's also that this one has all the best stuff you want in
a modern classic. After all, the patina look is red-hot right now.
But even if another one of those customs arrives at the car show,
they likely won't have V8 power, a five-speed, a late-model
chassis, and cold-blowing A/C.
This classic Job-Rated Dodge has an awesome total appearance. The
bare metal with patina has the right hint of rat rod style. But the
fact that it is sealed with a shiny clearcoat tells the full story
of a more thoughtful custom. You see more well-planned pieces, like
the classic ram hood ornament. Plus, pinstriping and classic Mopar
logos are on the door for a service truck look. They raised the bed
so they could lower the suspension, and at the same time, they made
sure to give you plenty of barn-style wood back there. And those
upgraded 17-inch alloys are a pure modern touch of cool. So this
one instantly fits in with the vintage and new custom scenes.
The interior keeps the classic truck details like the symmetrical
steel dash and the vent windows. But you can also see they gave you
some nice upgrades for a cruiser pickup. It includes nice
carpeting, upholstered door panels, and a newer headliner. The
seats are a comfy cloth that gives you high-back bucket comfort and
the choice of an armrest or jump seat in the middle. There are
conveniences you never got in a 1950s pickup, like cold-blowing air
conditioning and an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth. The upgraded
wood-rimmed steering wheel gives you a clear view of the tach and
other dash readouts. Plus, your speedometer is a dash-mounted
digital piece like a head-up display.
The hood still has the classic butterfly look, but within it is
something much more modern. Dodge's fuel-injected 5.2-liter Magnum
V8 was a fine powerhouse for trucks like the Dakota. The Dakota
didn't just donate its motor; the undercarriage photos show the
chassis is an upgrade. That means an independent front end and a
far smoother ride. This upgraded Mopar also has a five-speed manual
transmission that gives you complete control for in-town driving or
even overdrive highway cruising. Plus, power steering and power
brakes, front discs, and modern sports tires make for a fun patina
restomod.
This is a rarely-seen Dodge that maximizes its robust style while
adding plenty of comfort and convenience. It makes for an amazing
custom you'll love to show and drive. Call now!
