Price: US $36,000.00 SOLD OUT
It has amazingly beautiful fins borrowed from the Dodge Station Wagon, the Sweptside has a uniquely ’50s image unlike most other trucks. Largely a luxury pickup for its day, few were sold and only a handful survive today, a rarity double whammy that makes them hugely desirable to collectors. The result of Joe Berr, manager of Dodge’s Special Equipment Group, an in-house custom shop assembled to build custom work trucks for commercial clients, the Sweptside was an attempt to spruce up Dodge’s Truck design and attract customers away from Ford and extremely popular Chevrolet, something Dodge had been working hard to accomplish for a number of years. The company pulled out many stops, offering high-powered V-8 engines, robust automatic transmissions, unique styling even outside the Sweptside line, refined interiors and a host of design and engineering opportunities putting Dodge above the competition. To a small degree, Sweptside worked, showing customers that Dodge was indeed offering the Forward Look in all its vehicles, but really it created a unique moment in Mopar history and something for collectors to look forward to. The Sweptside ceased production in 1959 with only 1,260 examples built, 1957 being the lowest production year. There’s something to be said for having one of the rarest vehicles from the 1950s. Said to be less than 70 know to exist today. Truck is advised locally and have the right to end auction early. These rare trucks never come up for sale and when they do they're expensive. Or ruff and missing stuff. This truck is complete and ready for It's new owner. Questions 859 779 4223 Randy
