First on the site, as far as I can tell. I assume it is a hatchback. |

I think the "hatchback" designation implies that the decklid fully opens ( rear window included ). In this case, and even if it has a "fastback" line, there's only a bootlid that doesn't include the rear window. In my opinion, this is a fastback two-door saloon. |

The Dodge 1800 was introduced in April 1973. In 1974 was launched the SE version, but judging by its trim I don't think this is one. Perhaps there were some details that differentiated the 1974 from the 1973 model. |

Was this another Hillman Avenger/Plymouth Cricket/Sunbeam ... version? |

Yes, Chris! This model in Brazil was called "Dodge 1800" until 1975. Between 1976 and 1981 (end of production) was called "Dodge Polara". There are a argentine version too, the Dodge 1500 (in this country, it was also produced by... Volkswagen!!!): http://www.clubdel1500.com.ar/ -- Last edit: 2008-01-28 21:43:26 |

Obrigadinho, Grigorevski ... and thanks for the link, too. I owned two Avengers, both about eight or nine years old when I bought them, and from the look of the Argentinian Dodges/Volkswagens they were much better made than the originals; probably the Brazilian ones were too. |

Hatch not sedan |

Definitely not hatch - see earlier comments. I don't know Brazilian trim dates but suspect this one is 1977 or later as the rear light design did not appear in UK until Oct 76. |
