Time to start a new thread about my latest purchase: another 1958 Dodge Regent Sport Coupe!

Crazy, I know, but I now own two of the same!.. and considering the fact that only a handful of these survived, I'm lucky to have found these two!


Car looks bad right now, as it is partly disassembled and was roughly sanded down in the 1970's before it was put away in a barn. It is very complete, and even comes with a lot of extra parts. It's a running car, believe it or not, and has clear registration and papers.

Originally Sapphire Blue Metallic and Dover white (most of the paint is actually original on it now), two tone blue itnerior. It has the 313 V8 with Powerflite automatic, radio, windshield washer.. not many other options.


I'm going to go pick it up in a couple of weeks and will post pictures of that event when I can.

For now, some pics I took of the car 4 years ago when I first saw it.

"At least"?? I don't think the best thing I got were the pringles, but they do sweeten the deal. Haha



They are actually the nuts and bolts from the front end, so the flavors are something like "right fender", "rad yoke", etc.

Hmmm...your two Regents look the same, but somehow there is something different between them...I can't seem to put my finger on it, however...
