Expert 5K+ Posts: 7207 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | mrtester - 2013-02-24 6:46 PM Uh, what's a Matador? In 1960 Dodge introduced new names to all models. The Full sized 1960 Dodge line ( 122" wheelbase) was relegated to Matador and Polara, replacing Royal and Custom Royal. Nothing for Coronet. The name Matador was not used in 1961 or later, and AMC picked it up in the late 60s. The smaller sized 1960-1961 Dodge Dart ( 118" wheelbase) had three full series, Seneca, Pioneer and Phoenix. Clearly Dodge was trying to move into the low priced market to compete directly with Plymouth, by introducing the Dart in 1960, and leaving the full sized Dodge with only 2 models in the intermediate price lineup. By 1962 things got really messed up as Dart and Polara shared the same wheelbase and body. What had been the Polara in 1960 and 1961 now was the Custom 880 series in 1962. By 1963 the Dart became a compact, like the Plymouth Valiant. They didn't get things right until 1965. | ||

Veteran Posts: 170 Location: central Massachusetts | I am putting this video clip in this forum because at 1:43 minutes into it there is a nice rear shot of a 57? Windsor. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=18364 The story is of a (good) son finding a "48 Plymouth convertible for his parent's 60th anniversary. Pretty cool story but was pleasantly surprised to see the photoclip of the Chrysler. How many kids would do this for their parents today? | ||

Veteran Posts: 161 Location: newton north carolina | hemidave - 2013-03-01 7:14 AM A few FWLKs The next time you're standing in the parking lot of a modern shopping mall, remember this photo (and many others like it that have appeared on this thread) and the colorful cars. Compare it to the color of the cars in the lot that you're standing in. I'll bet most of them seem pretty drab by comparison. One of my college professors once remarked that the color of one's automobile reflects the mood of the owner...confidence, satisfaction for bright colors, less so if the colors are subdued. Hmm. | ||

Here's a lady with great taste in cars, poor taste in pants! Pete Most likely a speed competition of some sort...timed runs on an airport runway, maybe? There are some aircraft hangars in the background, and several airplanes parked to the right of the building. I enlarged the photo enough to see two large twin engine planes with yellow noses, and several to the right of them that I couldn't identify. Our local drag strip required removal of wheel covers before you could run. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | 50+ years on and I still cannot believe that Mopar management bought off on putting those toilet seats on the rear decks of Forward Look cars. Could anything be more incongruous to the angular fins and swept lines than this big, round lump inexplicably appearing on the deck lid ? Harder still to believe is the that public signed on for them in fairly large numbers ! | ||

Expert Posts: 2596 Location: Upplands Väsby, Sweden | Chrysler Corporation unveiled the experimental Plainsman "idea station wagon" during the January, 1956 Chicago Auto Show. Mounted on a 115-inch wheelbase Plymouth chassis, the 2-door wagon accented a Western theme with its "Palomino beige" finish, gold-colored Texas Longhorn medallion and hand-worked bronze trim which was chrome plated. A unique cantilever, stepped roof contained a centered louvered ventilator that provided draft-free ventilation of the 8-passenger cabin, and the padded white fabric top covering the rear two-thirds of the all-steel roof was weather-resistant. Clever idea on the Plainsman that made its way into the 1957 station wagon models by Chrysler Corp. was the spare tire and wheel hidden behind the right wheel and accessed via a lift-up panel Edited by Windsor59 2013-03-03 1:04 PM (PlymouthPalamino@1956web1.jpg) Attachments ---------------- PlymouthPalamino@1956web1.jpg (62KB - 200 downloads) | ||
