Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this cool
1964 Dodge Polara. The Dodge Polara was an automobile introduced in
the United States for the 1960 model year as Dodge's
top-of-the-line full-size car; after the introduction of the Dodge
Custom 880 in 1962, the Polara nameplate designated a step below
the full sized best trimmed Dodge model; the Polara that year had
been downsized to what was in effect intermediate, or mid-size
status. In its various forms, the Polara name was used by Dodge
until 1973, when its position in Dodge's line-up was replaced by
the Dodge Monaco. The name Polara is a reference to the Polaris
star, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement
surrounding the Space Race during the early 1960s. The Polara was a
competitor to the Ford Galaxie 500 and the Chevrolet Impala. The
1964 models received a revised front end and new tail lamps to
distinguish them from the 1963 cars. Rear end treatment took its
inspiration from the Chevrolet Impala, the Polara models now
featuring six small, square-shaped taillights (three on each side)
surrounded by an attractive bright trim panel. Lesser mid-size
Dodges featured only four taillights (two on each side) and lacked
the bright trim panel. A sensational new "C" pillar for the hardtop
coupes, combined with the more attractive front and rear end
styling, made the '64s look totally new (and longer/ lower/wider as
well), resulting in a significant increase of sales over 1963. The
Polara 500 continued as Dodge's sporty mid-size model, competing
with the full-size Ford Galaxie 500/XL and Chevrolet's Impala Super
Sport, featuring an engine-turned anodized aluminum trim strip
along the car's flanks, bucket seats and deluxe vinyl upholstery.
This 1964 Dodge Polara is equipped with a 440ci Max wedge motor
sporting two huge carbs and uses a 727 torqueflight transmission
and a suregrip rear end to put the power to the pavement. This 1964
Polara has been upgraded with: ANA intake manifold, steel
