Hmmm...it seems to be a Dodge Dart (or DeSoto Diplomat) with 1957-era Plymouth tailfins tacked on. ![]() |

Is this some kind of "Plodge" marque? At least it has selective yellow headlights fitted in... |

Agree, Dodge Kingsway (Mayfair was for Canadian market). IMCDb page for 1960 De Soto Adventurer includes illustration of Diplomat model with Sportone paint and trim. /vehicle_101235-De-Soto-Adventurer-1960.html |

Wasn't a Dodge Kingsway a Plymouth with a Dodge front end? The car here has a Dodge Dart front and rear with fins on top. |

Fins are based on 57-58 Plymouth; roof is Dodge/Chrysler, grille is 1960 Dodge. 1959 Kingsway used 1959 Plymouth fins, so this could be custom. It would be odd if the company went backwards in sourcing parts! I'm starting to accept the idea of it being a 118" w.b. Dart sedan: Seneca, Pioneer, or Phoenix. The rear doors on these models contain no part of the tail fin, unlike the Polara/Matador (US/Canadian market). Agree car_nerd: Tail fins here are just tacked on. 1957-58 Plymouths did not have unibody construction. How about "1960 Dodge Dart sedan modified?" Good site: http://www.bluelotussoft.com/1960dodge/facts.htm Edit: @car_nerd, now I know the different Dodge and Dodge Dart grilles. -- Last edit: 2008-05-06 21:01:48 |

But look at the taillight design provided by the stronghold! It seems to have Dart taillights with Plymouth fin. Can anyone collaborate with this design ![]() |

It's a 1960 Dodge with fake tail fins and side trim added on to look more like the '58 Plymouth used in the rest of chase. I suppose they did it because they did not want to beat up the Plymouth so bad... ![]() -- Last edit: 2008-05-07 03:56:24 |

its either a 1960 or 61 Dodge Polara sedan with, yes, plymouth tailfins. |

France required selective yellow headlights from 1936 to 1993 as described at Link to "en.wikipedia.org" . |
