Filed Under (Dodge) by Station Wagon Finder on 01-19-2011
With only 3,437 Dodge Sierra Spectators manufactured, this is a very rare car indeed. I’ve come across two examples of this model for sale; both with matching color schemes. The first one found at Cars-on-line is listed for $37,500 OBO. Rare options include a swivel seat, power steering, power brakes, power rear window, wire wheels, full tinted glass, dual rear view mirrors, deluxe factory AM radio and a Kleenex dispenser. The advertiser says the car spent its life in California and is 100% original.
The second Dodge Spectator offered for $15,900 at tnlgarage.com isn’t as loaded as the first one, but it does appear to be a very solid original car. The seller states the the car is a daily driver and comes equipped with a 361 V8 and pushbutton transmission.

The photos of this old Dodge Sierra bring back such long ago memories for me. A new ’59 metallic blue Sierra was the last car my Dad bought before he died in March 1961.
I remember the trip from Los Angeles to Carlsbad, New Mexico my Mom, my brother and I took in it. in 1962, just a month before the Cuban Missile Crisis.
In those days, a Dodge Sierra wagon was somewhat of a luxury car… believe it or not. Long time ago, now.
The 2nd Dodge wagon was mine , i repainted it and rechromed the bumpers back in the 90′s HAPPY MOTORING! Victor
