Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this
1963 Dodge Polara Convertible. The Dodge Polara is an automobile
introduced in the United States for the 1960 model year as Dodge's
top-of-the-line full-size car available as a sedan, hardtop coupe,
hardtop sedan, and convertible. The sedan was approximately $300
more than the 330 Series and approximately $150 more than the 440
Series. It added back-up lights, additional exterior moldings, a
power top on the convertible, and custom interior and upholstery
trim. 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
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. As you walk around the vehicle, you
will notice nice details like the bold brightwork of the front end
and down the side, the dual exhaust, and the whitewall 205/75r14
tires. This car exudes a real presence! Take a seat inside and you
are greeted by a seriously sporty interior via the red vinyl seats
that are accented by silver racing stripes. A two-spoke steering
wheel sits ahead of a 120-mph speedometer and factory auxiliary
gauges that include a fuel gauge, water temperature and battery
charge. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles, although the true
mileage is unknown. These are gaining ground in today's collector
car market & the pure joy of driving top-down in a 60's classic
will never get tiring!
