In 1950, Dodge rolled out the Wayfarer Sportabout Convertible, claiming it was the ultimate ride for America’s youthful drivers. This car was all about fun, with a top you could raise or lower one-handed, and windows that sealed tighter than a drum. Inside, it was like sitting on a fluffy cloud with enough legroom for a giraffe. On the road, the 103 horsepower ‘Get-Away’ engine promised thrills that could make even the most stoic driver giggle with joy.
Dodge touted the new “roll-up window” Wayfarer in 1950 as “the favorite of all youthful America” “Heed the call of the open road in the sportiest car on the highway,” they coaxed. “The durable fabric top on its lightweight aluminum frame can be raised or lowered quickly and easily with one hand… Chrome-trimmed safety glass side windows that roll up completely with one-and-one half turns give a completely weatherproof car… You’ll enjoy the relaxing comfort of the extra wide, soft-cushioned knee-level seat with legroom to spare… the festive playtime look of bright interior fittings and colorful textile leather upholstery. Out on the road, you’ll thrill to the eager responsiveness of the big 103 horsepower Dodge ‘Get-Away’ Engine…”
