Dodge Dart Pick-Up Highlights New
Series Of 1961 Dodge Made Trucks
Pn&D

headlines a completely new series
of light and medium-tonnage 1961
Dodge trucks.
The new models feature the only
Inclined 6-cylinder gasoline en
gines in the trucking industry.
C. M. Smith, Manager of Smith
Motor Company, stressed the pass
enger car styling and handling
characteristics of the 1961 trucks
and the exceptional fuel economy
to be derived from the new 6-cy
linder engines.
“Our Dart pick-up has a low,
wide silhouette with clean lines
that flow smoothly from front to
rear,” he explained. “A new drop-
center frame, coupled with -^ba
lanced suspension and wide treads,
gives the part remarkable road
stability and makes it as easy as
a passenger car to drive.
“Our two Inclined overhead valve
engines will interest every truck
Versatility aplenty in
1961 Corvair Greenbrier Sports Wagon
Chevrolet will raise the lid on a real surprise
package when they reveal the 1961 Greenbrier
Sports Wagon. A promising addition to the Cor
vair line is this 95-inch wheelbase vehicle with
rear-installed engine and independent suspen
sion. The Greenbrier is certain to fit transporta
tion needs from backwoods camps to swank hotels.
Seats may be repositioned to fit specialized re
quirements. There also is a commercial coun
terpart—a delivery vehicle named the Corvan.
costs significantly. We believe
these engines will enable our
light-tonnage models to operate
more economically than any com
parable trucks on the road.”
Develops 140 Horsepower
The larger of the Ii&lined en
gines develops 140 horsepower in
a displacement of 225 cubic inches.
Dodge also is offering a smaller
101-horsepower, 170-cubic-inch In
clined 6-cylinder engine for truck
owners who operate light delivery
services.
“Inclining the engine has made
it possible to lower the hood height
and increase accessibility to the
engine J compartment," Smith ex
plained. “In our new light-tonnage
models, the hood forms the top of
the fender housing. As a result, the
top surface of the fender housing
is lower, exposing more of the en
gine and making it easier to ser
vice. All routine servicing can be
performed on the left side of the
engine.”
/ Smith said 140 basic models will
be available in the 1961 line, which
includes conventionak^ab, cab-for
ward, 4-wheel-drive, forward-con
trol, school bus chassis, and tan
dem units. He said 11 gasoline en
gines will be offered, ranging in
horsepower from 101 to 228. eight
diesel engines, ranging in horse
power from 160 to 250, will also be
available.
Gross vehicle weight ratings on
the new trucks range to 53,000
pounds and gross combination
weight ratings to 76,800 pounds.
New Forward-Control Unit
In addition to the Dart pick-up,
Dodge is introducing a compact
three-quarter-ton forw|ard-cointrol
unit. Highly maneuverable on its
short 104-inch wheelbase and a-
vailable with either the 101-horse
power or the 140-horsepower In
clined engine, it has a maximum
gross vehicle weight rating of 7,500
pounds.
v A highlight of the new trucks
is a 35-ampere alternator, which
replaces the conventional gene
rator. The alternator system re
duces maintenance costs by giving
trouble-free service two to three
times longer than a generator.

Passenger Car Steering Ease
Steering effort has been reduced
30 per cent on light-tonnage and
15 per cent on medium-tonnage
units, thus providing a responsive
ness usually found only in pass
enger cars.
Longer and wider front and rear
springs ensure a better ride in the
1961 trucks.
A new cab has been designed to
increase driving comfort and pro
vide maximum ease of operation
and maintenance.
The new drop-center frame has
enabled Dodge to achiev*' styling
and design advances inside the cab
without sacrificing headroom or
driver comfort. It has also made
possible a lower center of gravity
and cab position. The conventional
models are up to 7 inches wider
than previous units. The wider
cab permits a full 60-inch seat
cushion.
The rear window in the new
trucks is smartly styled and tilted
forward to minimize glare from
vehicle lights.
Prevents Rust
A new anti-corrosion process
makes cabs more resistant to rust.
Rocker panel sills are primed and
specially treated. Inside door sur
faces are carefully primed.
Sweptline pick-up bodies have
been redesigned to complement
the new styling theme. The box
width has been increased 4 inches,
boosting cubic volume capacity 10
per cent.

Few Are Paying
Uninsured Fee
Renewal of registrations for
South Carolina hiotor vehicles is
progressing satisfactorily through
out the state, with only a few
vehicle owners paying the special
$20 fee A*qguired of . uninsured
motorists, the State Highway De
partment Has announced.
Department officials pointed out
that now, when there are no wait
ing lines at license windows, is a
good time to get new plates.
Through September 16, new
license plates had been issued for
137,570 vehicles. Of this number
only 403 owners had paid the $20
fee because they hack no liability
insurance. Department officials
said that uninsured vehicle owners
are being advised to obtain the re
quired liability coverage before
applying for their license plates.
Vehicle owners were again urged.
