PHOTOGRAPHER : Cecil McKay REMARKS AND/OR STORY : In 1956, we honeymooned in our 1950 Dodge Roadster. In 1993, we purchased a nearly identical Roadster in Enterprise, Oregon. There were only 2800 of these cars built and they cost $1800 new. A number of them met their fate in Helldriver Shows, since they were so cheap. No body work was needed, but it did need a good paint job. Barnum & Tenny did the paint. Not all chrome needed it, but we did re-chromed some pieces. When we got it back it was beautiful. They took over a year, but it was worth the wait. Jose�s Interiors replaced the top and did some interior work. Jose�s has, now, replaced all the interior with red and white leather on seats, kick panels, ect. to make car more original. |
