Award-featured 1926 Dodge Roadster blends vintage charm with modern power and design, built to drive and show.
A true blend of vintage Americana and custom craftsmanship, this 1926 Dodge Brothers Roadster is far from your average antique. Meticulously built and featured in the prestigious Builders Showcase at the 2022 NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, the roadster has become a benchmark for combining traditional aesthetics with contemporary performance.
Originally constructed with an all-steel body, the roadster retains core 1926 components like its cowl, hood sides, grille shell, headlight buckets, and radiator topper. Yet it's what’s been added—or refined—that tells the real story. Hand-built doors, dash inserts, and quarter panels meet widened rear fenders and reshaped front fenders for a stance that’s low, mean, and commanding. A one-piece hood with dual-side hinging and custom hidden latches adds a slick, functional touch.
Finished in a deep custom red base-clear coat paint, the roadster sits atop a boxed original frame, now fortified with a Mustang II front suspension and a Ford 9” rear fitted with ladder bars and coilovers. Under the hood, a 350ci Chevrolet crate engine is mated to a 700R4 automatic transmission, providing effortless cruising power.
Inside, the car features custom leather upholstery and handcrafted details. The chopped windshield and low-profile stance are perfectly complemented by American Rebel Sprint wheels wrapped in shaved sidewall tires for a true period-meets-performance look.
This professionally built roadster is now offered for sale in St. Louis, Missouri, by RevHeads at 5626 Gravois Ave. Interested buyers can contact Damon at (515)-REVHEADS.
With its blend of heritage parts, modern engineering, and national recognition, this 1926 Dodge Brothers Roadster is a rolling tribute to what’s possible when classic meets custom.
