Dart, Coronet, Polara, Custom 880, and Monaco. The 1965 Dodge Dart, extending its tradition of “more compact car for the dollar,” will introduce a lowerpriced two-door hardtop, a higher performance V-8 engine, and an optional built-in air con ditioner providing both heating and cooling. The Dart, built on a 111-inch wheelbase, presents a lower and wider appearance, achieved by restyling the entire front end and redesigning the rear end. Standard engines for the Dart line are the 170-cubic-inch buretor version of the 273-cubic- two-barrel V-8 power plants rated '•t 101 and 180 horspower, respect- : vely. Available as optional en- nDS are a 225-cubic-inch six-cy_ : u!er, with 145 horspower, and a 'Sb performance four-barrell car- -uretor version of the 273-subic- inch V-8 rated at 235 horspower. This engine is equipped with a long duration camshaft, special in take manifold, and special pistons that boost the compression ratio to 10.5 to 1. The Dart comes with torqueflite automatic three-speed transmission, and both three- and four-speed manual transmissions. The four-speed transmission has a floor-mounted lever. “Bigg e,r , roomier, and more powerful than than most of the other cars in the compact class, the Dart will be the best buy in the compact mar ket,” C. M. Smith of Smith Motor Company said. The Coronet line, which includes the Coronet, the Coronet 440, and the Coronet 500, is a lower-price, family-size car, offering more than the compacts yet more economical than the larger sized cars. It is convenient for city and at the same time highly suitable for cross-country trips. The standard power plants for the Coronet line are a 225-cubic-inch 145 horse power, six-cylinder engine with improved performance in the pass ing range, and a lightweight, 273- cubic-inch, 180-horspower V-8. V- 8 options for which regular grade fuels are recommended are the 318-cubic-inch and the 361-cubic- inch engines, developing 230 and 265 horsepower, respectively. A 383-cubic-inch V-8, rated at 330 horsepower, also is available, along with 365-and 425-horsepow er versions of a 426-cubic-inch V-8. The dual, four-barrel carbu retor 425horspower V-8, with 12.5 to 1 compression ratio, is called the “Memi-Charger,” and was de veloped especially for use in sanc tioned, competitive stock car events. Besides the standard three- speed manual transmission, two Torqueflite automatic three-speed transmissions are available, one for six-cylinder and small V-8 en gines and the second for the larg er V-8’s. A fourspeed, manual transmission, with floor-mounted lever, is also offered. This lever, along with the tachometer, is mounted on the console in Coronet On Display Saturday, Sept. 24 BUICK Wildcat for 1965 .'*****1$* viv'.-x ■ . V * "** : ' V ‘ ‘t 1 I The seml-fastback styling of two-door models in Buick's 1965 line is epitomized in the Wildcat with its longer hood, lower longer rooflines and short rear deck.
