Apparently, we are not the only ones interested in Finding Old Cars. Over the past few weeks there have been some interesting submissions to FindingOldCars.com, from an iconic Dodge Power Wagon to a 1967 Mercury Cougar symbolic of American Muscle. Treasures from all over the U.S. are being submitted including vehicles from North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana and New York.
Dodge Power Wagon
The Dodge Power Wagon is probably best known from the model released shortly after World War II. The Power Wagon was the first four-wheel drive vehicle to be offered to the American public in 1946 and was based on the military spec 3/4-ton truck. Originally Dodge used a model number of WDX and then later in 1957 it became the WM-300, the term Power Wagon was actually a generic term for a civilian four-wheel drive vehicle. These vehicles were popular after World War II as America went back to work.
Over the past three years there have been 102 Power Wagons sold at auctions across the country, according to the Hagerty Price Guide. The lowest sale of $1,760 and the highest sale price of $410,000 for a highly modified and restored vehicle sold on Bring-a-Trailer. The current Power Wagon "finds" posted on FindingOldCars.com will be available at the upcoming Passion for the Drive: The Cars of Jim Taylor auction conducted by the Broad Arrow Group on October 14th - 15th.
