Vehicle Description
This 1960 Dodge Matador Station Wagon is a gorgeous,
futuristic-looking people hauler with great options and southern
history. In 1960, Dodge saw a significant uptick in sales moving
from its previously held 8th place to 6th place in the sales race,
likely due in part to its introduction the Dart. With the
introduction of the new Dart, Dodge in a sense reorganized its
passenger car lineup with the Dart (and its 3 sub-series) occupying
the smaller wheelbase and lower cost end of the spectrum, and the
Matador and Polara becoming the full-size options. While the Polara
was the top-of-the-line model for Dodge in 1960, the Matador served
as the so-called entry-level Dodge in '60. However, based on their
looks, the Matadors hardly looked like an entry-level car
especially with a single piece of chrome running the length of the
side of the car and the futuristic fins on the rear quarter panels
that capped in chrome and a reflector. The interiors was also quite
luxurious in appearance with copious amounts of trim and accents.
Of all of the Matadors, the Station Wagons were the most expensive
and tipped the scales at over 4,000 pounds. This particular Matador
Station Wagon comes to us from a southern based collector who
clearly took great care of this gorgeous people mover. Under the
hood on this Matador is an upgraded 413 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired
with an Edelbrock single 4 barrel carburetor. Exhaust exits the NOM
413 CID V8 a dual exhaust setup that has a nice throaty sound. The
413 V8 is mated to a pushbutton-operated Automatic Transmission
that makes this classy wagon an easy car for anybody to drive.
Further adding the ease of driving this Dodge wagon is the fact
that it is equipped with power steering which makes maneuvering the
122 inch wheelbase on this Mopar station wagon a total breeze. With
power front disc brakes, bringing this Dodge Matador to a complete
stop is also made much easier, especially with all that extra
horsepower under the hood. This 1960 Dodge wagon is also equipped
with an auxillary roof rack should you need even more storage
beyond the roomy interior. Another great option on this '60 Matador
station wagon is the power-operated rear window that goes up and
down smoothly with the simple flick of a switch. Riding on a set of
wide whitewall radial tires with full wheelcovers, this '60 Dodge
Station Wagon has a great look and even better ride. The exterior
on this Matador wagon has been refinished in a beautiful two-tone
paint scheme consisting of Cocoa Metallic and Cloud beige. The
interior on this Dodge Matador is absolutely stunning! The front
and rear bench seat have been beautifully reupholstered in Copper
and Ivory vinyl. The padded dash, matching door panels and
carpeting, and sparkly clear-acrylic steering wheel are in
fantastic condition and appear to be in their stock
configuration.
