1957 Dodge D100 Sweptside Pickup at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

Описание: This 1957 Dodge D100 Sweptside Pickup is a gorgeous luxury pickup truck and an example of the 1st year Sweptside "Forward Look" design. In the early decades of the 20th century, pickup trucks were considered work vehicles where style and comfort was sacrificed for practicality and utility. However, in the early 1950s consumers began seeing trucks that were a bit more stylish and a bit more comfortable because manufacturers began to realize that trucks had to serve the two purposes that people were using them for, personal transportation and work. The Mopar version of a luxury pickup debuted in May 1957, the Dodge D100 Sweptside Pickup. The other major happening at Dodge at the time, along with at its Mopar sister marques, was the introduction of Virgil Exner's "Forward Look" design campaign. The Forward Look design philosophy took its inspiration from the aerospace industry and the results yielded a lineup of gorgeous vehicles looked as if they were from the future. While no one knows the exact production number, it is believed only 2,500 Sweptside trucks were produced during the span of May 1957 thru January 1959, and thus cherished by collectors. Powering this pickup is a 230 L-Head Inline 6 cylinder engine paired with a single barrel carburetor. The 230 Straight 6 is backed by an automatic transmission that is shifted using a dash-mounted push-button shifter. Riding a set of wide whitewall tires, each paired with a full size Dodge wheelcover, this Sweptside Pickup has a truly classy look whether parked or cruising down the road. This D100 sports several desirable options including a chrome front bumper, turn signals, and driver's side outside mirror. The long steel pickup box features a wooden slat bed, Dodge-branded steel tailgate, and of course the iconic '57 Dodge rear quarter panels and special back bumper that make this D100 a true Sweptside. The steel body has been refinished in a beautiful two-tone paint scheme consisting of Bayview Green and Mojave Beige that completes the exterior look of this truck. The interior on this '57 Dodge Sweptside is absolutely gorgeous! The bench seat has been reupholsterd in beige tweed cloth along with beige vinyl. The matching upholstered door panels, headliner, driver's side sun visor, painted dash, and steering wheel are all in wonderful condition and appear to retain a nice stock appearance. The aluminum-trimmed instrument cluster is equipped with a 110 MPH speedometer, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, amp gauge, and fuel gauge.
