1958 DODGE

SWEPT WING HARD TOP


There only original once!  If there are more than twenty 1958 Dodge Swept Wing hard top’s on Earth in this original surviving condition, I would be very surprised.


Since brand new, this Dodge has only traveled 26,939 miles.   The very lucky winner will receive all the documentation meticulously recorded in two books supporting the original miles.  


This car is NOT restored, rather almost totally original.  Of course some maintenance has been performed.   The entire front end has been rebuilt, age had deteriorated bushings etc.   The brakes are new, carburetor rebuilt, the shocks are new and the tires good.


The body, chrome and glass are outstanding!  Underneath you’ll be amazed as most of these cars are long since been rusted out.   Not this one!  All the original sheet metal, frame, body supports etc. are like new.  Absolutely no patches or Bondo on this car.


The paint still holds a shine and its original.  The car has never been repainted.  However...the elderly lady who originally owned the car, opened the doors on something in the garage over and over again.  There are no dents, just lots of little chips in the paint.   The winner will receive the original color sales brochure, a copy of the original 58’ title, and current title, a hard back original 1958 Dodge maintenance book and over a $1000 of new extra parts.


Inside the car is a Time Machine.  The dash is outstandingly beautiful, and all the gauges work.  Only the clock does not.  The horns, lights, turn signals, wipers, map light, speedometer, odometer, and heater all work.  Even the cigarette lighter still works, but in over 50 years...its never lit one cigarette.


This car was a factory radio delete...and the original radio hole plugs are amazingly still in place.  The car has silky smooth factory Power Steering and a push button start 325 Cross-Over V8 engine.  It instantly fires and runs smooth as well as the Push-Button Transmission shifts effortlessly.  This car floats and drives you like you're on a cloud.


The winner can fly in and drive this car home.  It’s located in San Antonio Texas.   If you’ve got questions...I’ve got answers.  Call or write Houston Wills at 210-548-1310 between 9am-9pm CST.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.

Dodge offers 100 years of solid advice in new ad

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

This is a cool ad. Dodge, which is celebrating its centennial this year, recruited some of its peers to see what you should and shouldn't do in life. Of course, some are obvious - don't complain, learn from your mistakes and live for now.
Then again, some are less obvious. Some, actually, are downright awesome. Towards the end, each piece of advice is interspersed with clips of Dodge's redesigned Challenger smoking its tires. Really, this ad feels like it'd be worthy of a Super Bowl spot. This commercial's personal nature is really in keeping with some of the big game's most interesting ads, like the Imported From Detroit commercial, the Farmer ad and Maserati's surprise clip from this year's game.
Take a look below and let us know what you think.
