| I Wonder what Work has Been Done to It when For Sale Last ? Other than the Front Seat . |

Location: The Mile High City | Really nifty Dodge! The number 1 in the 20th position is new to me. Usually, numbers in that position indicate a variety of solex options. The car isn't coded for bumper guards, my guess is the front guards were added later. They look great! It is nice to see a car with the original trunk mat and cowl markings. |

Location: Sept. 1958 | I think it’s a 5 under 48, photo is kind of blurry. The rear bumper has holes with bumper bolts atop for the bumper ornaments, but no ornaments. |

Location: The Mile High City | 57DODGECONV - 2021-09-14 9:02 AM Mike , I Wonder How Good or Bad the Body is on this One ? If it was a Decent Car I’d be Tempted to Sell Some Projects and pick it up .Any Thoughts? Hi, David: the images on the webpage are not full size. I think the fact that it has a factory trunk mat and factory cown markings bodes well for the overall condtion of the body. However, if you can't inspect it in person, I would contact the seller and get the full size images. The seller states the interior is redone, but somebody did a heck of a job on it. Looks really good. The heel guard on the carpet is a good facsilme of the original, but looks a bit more Plymouth oriented. Whatever, small quibbles. This is one I would make an effort to see in person. |

| Thank you Mike For your Insight . Overall the Car Looks Good Just to See one that is Preserved is Nice and not Fully Restored .If I Get Serious I would Like to See the Car in Person .You Rarely find a Convertible in this Condition Usually Fully Restored or a Basket Case.Thanks again for your Comments. |

| I saw it today. Closed door repaint. Underneath is rough. Underhood is REALLY rough. This is a project. If everything stays shut, doesn't look bad. I think if you dig into this it will be something that brings a lot of problems with it

Location: Blackpool, United Kingdom. | Looking at pictures car appears to have had lower sheet metal work, and usually white hides bodywork quite well, but even in pictures, there is evidence of poor body repairs here.

| I think it will be a disaster when stripped down, in my opinion. |
