SimonTiki Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Hi, Did the 1950 Dodge Wayfarer have armrests in the front, as I can't see them in any photos, but it seems odd not to have something to shut the doors by when getting in? Thanks Edited April 16, 2015 by SimonTiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin (UK) Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Here's another, for sale in Blackpool.Judging by these pictures, it looks like the answer is 'no', Simon... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1950-Dodge-Wayfarer-2-Door-Sedan-/331530869645?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d30c79b8d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I believe the Wayfarer was the cheaper model of Dodge, so it probably did not have arm rests. Does yours have two inside sunvisors? If you are not going for total accuracy, then find some arm rests off some other old Mopar about the same vintage......so the style would be correct. If there are no pre-drilled, threaded holes in the inner door skin for arm rests mounting.......then you can drill your own holes wherever needed. one example......

58prostreet Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have a '52 Wayfarer and it came with one arm rest on drivers side, but also had attachment hardware on pass. side. I think if u remove your door panels you may find the hardware to attach a pair if u can find them. mine also only came with driver side sun shade.

BobT-47P15 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's interesting to see what things Chrysler Corp did in the 40s and 50s to make the car cost less. In the 46-48 models, the horn center/ring was different, the dash was partly different, arm rests and inside sun visors were different, and the cheaper car had hubcaps one inch less in diameter than the "Special Deluxe".

Seaside Pete Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 The armrests on the front doors of my 47 are missing. Can anyone suggest where I could get some or maybe some from another vehicle that would fit. the 2 threaded holes in the door are 6-3/4" apart centre to centre (or center to center).

SimonTiki Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks all. It has 2 sunvisors, so I must have a flashy one! I'll take the door cards off and have a look for mountings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suntennis Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 There is a accessory book for the 49 to 52 cars put out by the company that shows and lists arm rests along with other stuff like radios, batteries, electric gas caps and other items. On some of the cars like yours and the Concord the arm rests were an option that was an extra charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
