1959 Dodge Sweptside Pickup
NO RESERVE AUCTION ON EBAYclick here
CRUISIN CLASSICS is very proud to introduce one of the most interesting pickups of its era and now one of the rarest. This particular truck has the option of Bumper Guards that makes it even more special... RARE!! Dodge was caught off guard when Chevrolet fielded the smooth-sided Cameo in 1955, and it was not until 1957 that Dodge Truck special equipment manager Joe Berr visited the car plant to procure a set of station wagon rear fenders. He had them grafted onto a long-wheelbase 1957 Dodge Custom Cab half-ton pickup along with a station wagon rear bumper, cut down the gate and extended the body side chrome trim to the front fenders. Two-tone paint, full size wheel covers and wide Whitewalls completed the transformation from utilitarian device to the almost formal-looking Sweptside. Between 1957 and 1959, Dodge built a total of 1,260 examples; 1959 production figures finally convinced Dodge to drop the Sweptside, and today only a handful of 1959s are known to survive. Less than 50 known to exist and this one is exceptional. This 1959 Sweptside is finished in two-tone Yellow and Alaska White. This Sweptsides combination of a 318ci, V-8 is mated to a push-button automatic.
