All Dodge models were redesigned with smaller, lighter, sculpted
bodies on 116 in (2,946 mm) wheelbases for 1962. This was the first
Chrysler B-Body. This move came after Chrysler's president
overheard and misunderstood Chevrolet chief Ed Cole to have said
Chevrolet's largest cars would be downsized for 1962. Chrysler
designers were forced to take the planned 1962 Dodge full-size line
and shorten the design to fit a more compact wheelbase in a
last-minute effort to compete with what was supposed to be a
smaller new Chevrolet. However, GM was developing a new mid-sized
automobile that would become the 1964 Chevelle but continued to
offer its line of traditional full-size cars for 1962. As a result,
Dodge and Plymouth were marketing smaller cars that the public and
motoring press found stylistically awkward. The new Dodge models
were sized closer to Ford's new intermediate Fairlane than to
Ford's or GM's new "A-body" models. As a result, development was
accelerated for a new full-size car, using the front end from the
1961 Dodge Polara and the body from the 1962 Chrysler Newport. This
new full-size model became the Custom 880 and was Dodge's
top-of-the-line model when it was introduced on January 21, 1962.
In 1963, a lower specification version was offered, the Dodge
880.
