Eric Z Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 (edited) 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 Edited September 28 by Eric Z pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug&Deb Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L-head Wheelbase: 123 1/2 inches 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. Edited September 28 by Eric Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
