  4. Let me take a wild guess. This ain't an EV.

  5. Anon: My immediate first thought on seeing it was the Polara but I just wrote "dodge." Wasn't sure and just saw your "polaris." I believe we were on the right path.

    What marvels of automotive beauty were manufactured between 1957 and 1961. Too bad the assembly and parts were, for the most part....crap. Broke down quickly. Rusted even quicker.

    1. My dad was a Chrysler fan. But poor guy didn't have much luck. Starting about 60k miles, it was always valves, rings and once a broken rod.

    2. I forgot the 59 Dodge p/u that had the rear end go out. But it had a lot of hard miles.

    3. Dad bought a '61 Dart stationwagon. It lived in North Carolina, Hawaii, Illinois, California.
      At 350,000 miles brother and dad rebuilt the engine. It went for another 150,000 before brother sold her. At age 12, the trans needed adjustment.

      At time of sale, all electric windows still worked. Push button transmission A-OK. A bit of surface rust, nothing deep.

  7. My grandmother had a 1960 Dodge Phoenix but it was a two door. Looked a lot like that.

  8. Probably weights over a ton, not getting many miles on a battery charge if it was a EV not a V-8

  9. Blow up the fin, it has an “Imperial” emblem….a circle ellipse with the cross lines bisecting it like a scope

  11. Definitely a '60 Polara. My MOPAR gearhead brother concurs.

  12. Polara for sure. The Imperial had more vertical wings and the spare tire 'bump' on the trunk lid.

  13. 1960 Dodge Polar my neighbor has a 2 door Convertible in Red on Red with a White Top. The Polar has that Quasar Logo on the rear fin, the Matador, Phoenix and the Dart have the Name in place of the Logo. Plymouth and Chrysler look completely different none of the 3 used common body styles until a few years later.
