Nice. I took my truck to a huge show in Ashland, Al a couple of years ago and out of probably a thousand or more cars and trucks, I had the only Sweptline.
That's because he sold this truck just before Arnie showed up with "Christine" . He did see the truck around town and gave em' 50 bucks to reserve a spot prior to showing up with the "Mechanical A-hole". Must of been on the cutting room floor I guess. You can't see it in the photo, but I also have new wipers on a broken windshield.

That's funny. I just watched "Christine" on Comcast's free HD On Demand movies a few nights ago.
I bought "Christine" dvd off of EBay a couple of years ago. I'll have to watch it again and look for a Sweptline in a background shot. I can barely stand to watch the 58 Plymouth's being torn up, though.
BTW, Christine was not a Plymouth Fury, it was a Belvedere.
i have had my 68 d100 to a few shows. people really like it. they say you dont see these old dodges around. alot of chevys and fords. it's pretty cool to have the only swepty at shows.
Want to blow the crowd members' minds show up somewhere with your Swepty pulling a Pilot House (48-53) or earlier Dodge truck. I can't wait to fire up my 49, if the car dolly survived the storms around here my beater 69 is going to pull my beater 49 to the local show and scare some people... Come to think of it, "Death on Wheels", my beat to crap 63 Honda track bike fits in the 49's bed...
That movie had some of the best lines in it.
" You can't polish a turd"
" You ain't mad, are ya ?"
That movie is a cult classic.
well. crap! Posted it twice.
