and console from a 1964 Dodge Polara 500, and was available with all engines including Slant Six. I have seen a 1964 
Plymouth Sport Fury convertible, factory-installed 225 Slant Six, Polara 500 buckets & console, pushbutton Torqueflite.

Golden Commando trunk and fender emblems like those on the 1964 Canadian Polara pictured.

4bbl TF if I remember correctly.

or perhaps an American plant? Perhaps Bill you too can shed some light on whether or not Dodge offered a mid-year 
Polara 500 option on Canadian cars.
