The Riddler - 1958 Dodge Sweptline Kustom Pickup
1958 Dodge Sweptline

This belongs to my good friend Luc. Luc collects Mopars, all sorts, mostly with huge freakin engines! This one is unique in his collection however. I don't know the backstory yet but I'll get it and share it. For now, here's some pictures I took a few minutes ago when by buddy Paul Grasso dropped it off. I was hoping to use this truck for the upcoming May 3-Day Detailing Class but I'm not sure yet... but I'll make the decision later. Until then, check it out...

The paint has candy tones and metallic flakes. The flames appear to be under the clear but the pin striping outlining the flames is on top of the clearcoat, this will make it very challenging to buff out.

This is one of the things that makes this pickup different than all the other trucks from this era or just about any time, it's the car-like fenders with fins on the side of the bed.

When I first looked at the side fenders on the side of the bed I wondered if these were added as a part of the customizing work done to the truck. A little Googling and I found some Dodge ads showing the side fenders and fins from the factory.

And here's a restored 1958 Dodge Sweptline Pickup showing the same configuration as the Sweptline in the garage...
