Laughing Coyote Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 When driving home today after running some errands I saw this old Dodge convertible on a trailer heading east on interstate 10. Tried to get a better picture, but kinda hard while driving and raining to boot. I know not the smartest thing to do, but was a cool looking old Dodge. Did notice the rockers were pretty rusted. Wonder where he picked that one up. I know it was a Dodge something Royal. Anyone know the year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Another great save! A friend of mine just bought a 56 Desoto driver for $2500. Only needed a back window and a battery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hope that's just clean rain water and not a North east salt bath they are exposing it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I bought a solid 1959 Dodge convertible missing the top at a police auction late in 1967. I brought a '58 or '59 Chrysler top assembly home from a junkyard, but the curve around the windows wasn't right. It had the 326 engine and was probably a Custom Royal. That $25 or $30 investment wasn't recovered. I'm sure of that.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be $1,200 in US $ Edited January 7, 2016 by Joe in Canada (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
