THIS person has had this car forsale for at least 5 years maybe longer no takers ,, just a little to high for what it is , it`s closer to $15,000 than $24.000 and now with no one buying anything maybe 10 to $12,000, but who knows he may get his price yet ? still a nice car .

While I would not pay that much for any old car, it probably is worth it, even if it does need a little work. Did you read the ad carefully. It's not just a convertible, it's a Roadster Convertible with only a front seat. No rear seat. Those are really hard to find. Wasn't many of those made. So........it makes that car worth more than just an ordinary convertible that does have a back seat.

The deal with those 49 Dodge Wayfarer converts is that the first several

they made had removable isenglass take-out windows on the doors.....no

roll-up glass. No wing window. They were considered, therefore, a "roadster".

That seems to be what brings the most money now.

But, after a period of time, during the 49 model year, they determined that

those windows weren't such a hot deal, and switched to a glass wing window

and glass roll-up windows. May have even retro-fitted some with glass when

the car was still pretty new.

The Wayfarer was the cheaper Dodge model, anyway, so they were like a

business coupe convertible with only one seat. While in college in the 1960s

I bought a 1950 Wayfarer convertible, not running, but complete for $75.

Kept it for several years - never got it running. Finally sold it to a collector

in Pennsylvania. It had a home made back seat. It had the glass windows.

Before I learned the difference between what constituted a roadster and

convertible in these cars, I was corrected by guys when calling mine a

roadster.

This is the one I had. Original dark green color, with a cheapie re-do

of the interior in red vinyl.

I looked at this pair of Roadsters several momths back. The owner wanted $3500 for the pair. Too bad I was doughless.

Appear to be the true "roadsters".....no wing windows.

At least they were in that carport/shed somewhat out of the weather.
