The best of everything Dodge. (1961)
This is the 1961 Polara — the best of everything Dodge.
You will respect its masculine authority. You will enjoy obvious advantages in performance, interior spaciousness, and riding comfort.
Polara has been designed and put together with extraordinary care, skill and good taste. Yet, it is not an expensive automobile. Seemingly a paradox, the price of the Dodge Polara is one of the lowest in the medium-price field.
The dependables: Success cars of ’64
Choice seats now available for the best show on the road.
Time was when such fineries as bucket seats, padded dash, tachometer, and console-mounted gear selector were meant only for the country club set. No longer. The introduction of the 1964 Dodge Polara with special “500” sports option changes all that.
Here’s a bucket seat beauty that takes a back seat to nobody — not in style! Not in comfort! Not in price! This lavishly equipped sports courier is priced with traditional low-priced cars, and it comes in two models –convertible (shown above) and 2-door hardtop.
Add a four-on-the-floor fully synchronized transmission, if you like. Or, the famous Dodge three-speed Torqueflite automatic, mounted in the sports console. They’re extra-cost options, to be sure. But when you’re talking Dodge Polara 500, you’re still talking about figures that are no higher than on models of Ford or Chevrolet.
That, in a word, is value… the extra Dodge never charges extra for. You’ll find it at your Dodge Dealer’s.

The great imposter VS The real McCoy (1964)
These two performers have got quite an act. Look closely at the one on top. The great impostor. A handsome hardtop with all the excitement of a convertible.
The optional vinyl covering does it — gives it a distinctive, custom-tailored, sophisticated appearance. Regal. Travels well in the best of circles — or out on the straightaway.
The quick-change artist in the bottom picture is the Polara 500 Convertible. Loves to put on airs, but underneath it all, is loaded with fun. Buoyant bucket seats, ready-for-action console and the biggest standard V8 in the low-priced field. Sporty as they come — and a sun worshiper from the word go.
But with either of these new Dodges, the price sticker’s the real kicker — makes it as easy to own one as it is to drive one. No wonder Dodge has been leading the industry in percentage of sales increase for fifteen months in a row.
Why don’t you get in the act? See your Dodge Dealer. Pick the model you want — then wait for the applause.
