Hi All, I just brought this Dodge convertible home for restoration. The previous  owner passed away and it was brought to me as a roller with parts piled inside. I found the vehicle number on the drivers side door jam. Would anyone be able to tell me what I have? 51 or 52? Coronet or Wayfarer, etc?

 

 

thank you

I can’t tell by the picture. Is there a back seat? If not it’s a Wayfarer. 51 was the last year for the roadster. 

Doug & Deb, yes it has the rear seat, see pic. Got it cleaned out and started sorting through the parts. No front seat !

thx

Thank you TodFitch, going to be an interesting build. I'm still trying to identify a few pieces and will post some pictures if needed. Just ordered a service manual so hopefully that will help.
