1950 Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe Under The Knife

As spring has sprung, many folks are working their asses off to get the latest builds done and out to shows for the summer season. Mopar Rob is cranking away on his 1950 Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe. This is a two owner car and one of the best aspects is that the other owner just so happened to be his grand father. Nothing better than keeping it in the family.

1950 Dodge Wayfarer Heads For A Revival

This past weekend, we wanted to do a heavy duty road trip with our buddy Mopar Rob to pick up his newest project, a 1950 Dodge Wayfarer convertible. The ride just wasn't in the cards with too many projects due, but look what showed up in the driveway this morning. Damn right, this is going to be a great ride once all is said and done.
