1949 Dodge Wayfarer Two-Door Roadster

Introduced in 1949, the Wayfarer was Dodge's first new mid-size offering after the continued sales of lightly refreshed pre-war models. It was offered in 3 separate body styles: a two-door business Coupe, two-door Sedan, and also a sporting Roadster variant. From a design standpoint, the vehicle shared similar looking body work with its Chrysler corporate stablemates, albeit with a shorter wheelbase. The Wayfarer additionally benefited from some improved engineering over past models, although it was still priced for a more proletariat market. The Wayfarer proved to be successful enough and in the first year of production, 49,000 Sedans were built along with approximately 9,000 Coupes and 5,420 Roadsters.
