58L-Y8 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 1950 Dodge Wayfarer - $5500 https://missoula.craigslist.org/cto/d/frenchtown-1950-dodge-wayfarer/7129181151.html We're selling Grandma's car! This 1950 Dodge Wayfarer was restored in the 80's but could use a little TLC. Starts and runs fine. Has been in the family for over 60 years and has under 44,000 original miles. Flathead 6 cylinder. Serious inquiries by email or text 4zero62zero70072. I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1950 Dodge Wayfarer three passenger coupe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil morse Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Another good MoPar at a great price -- but I fear that the price is so good that it's going to end up as a hot rod or "restomod." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't people understand that they aren't going to make anymore of these? 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchan Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Great little car, and good asking price. Maaco is only a phone call away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Darn, too bad he covered that license plate. If only I could see it, I'm pretty sure I could steal this car from 4 states away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Is the purpose of that practice to prevent theft? Never quite understood logic there. Rag or cardboard beats the thumb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rag or cardboard beats the thumb though. The only thing that I could understand was that they figured it was some sort of 'identity theft' thing. IF you knew the license then you could . . . ? I donno somehow make a title? And most likely this is from those folks who refuse to buy an old car that is missing a title?? You Dont see it as much here, but on eBay on rare cars that need a serial number for authentication, they commonly hide the last digits of the VIN. Again, why???? In California anything newer than 1975 must have a successful smog check on sale/transfer. California has a website where you can check the smog history using either the license or VIN. If its a late model with a covered plate I just keep going figuring that they dont want you to know that it has failed the smog test several times already before you buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even just paint the rear fenders the same burgundy as the lower body. Anybody know if the current color scheme is authentic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plates are in full view of the world when you are driving down the road. I think it is something somebody did years ago and it caught on. You see other guys covering the plate and figure there must be a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those colors look kinda like Cadet Red and Nassau Beige, which are 1950 Dodge colors. I know Dodge had some two-tones in 1950 but I don't know which colors were on which models/body styles and what the pattern was on turret, fenders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
