Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1966 Dodge Polara 500
Convertible. Built at the Jefferson Avenue Chrysler Plant in
Detroit, Michigan on August 8, 1965, this particular Polara was
just the 67th example built that year, according to the VIN.
Outside, it's dressed in white and the paint is in fine shape, due
to a previous restoration, but there may be a few blemishes visible
at close range. The car's glass panels are in good condition, as
are the vehicle's lights, which are complete and intact. The
matching power vinyl top is brand new and fits like factory new.
The car rolls on Dayton Thoroughbred �whitewall tires, 215/75R14,
with factory spinner wheel covers; the tires and wheels are in good
condition. The body panels are straight and the bumpers are in good
form. The engine bay is tidy and the battery looks new. In that bay
is a 383 CID V-8 engine (G code) with a four-barrel carburetor and
is linked to a Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission.
Inside, the white interior shows very well. The seats are in great
shape, the contrasting black carpet with matching dashboard are in
fine form, as is the three-spoke steering wheel with its trim ring
to sound the horn. The white door panels, the gearshift lever and
mirrors are all in similar, overall good condition. Finishing the
interior is the factory AM radio. Driver assist features include
power steering and power brakes. 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. For 1965,
Chrysler moved the Polara back to a�Chrysler "C" full-size
platform�that was shared with Chrysler and Plymouth models. Once
again offered in a full range of bodies (sedans, hardtops, station
wagons, etc.), the Polara, in effect, replaced the 880 and remained
a step below the Custom 880, and the new�Monaco�hardtop coupe was
now Dodge's top model. The previous mid-sized Dodges that were sold
under the names Polara 500, Polara, 440, and 330 continued in
production under the name Dodge Coronet, their wheelbase shrinking
to 117 inches. In the 1966 model year, the Monaco would replace the
Custom 880 as the mid-level model while a new Monaco 500 would
replace the previous 1965 Monaco.�One constant of the 1965 to 1968
models was taut, square-edged styling, which was�updated each year.
