PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Sept. 19, 1968 Dodge Models for ’69 being shown today The 1969 Dodge automobiles went on display today at Smith Motor Company, and all models are receiving enthusiastic ac - ceptance from the public, ac cording to C. M. Smith, man ager. Among the models being shown are the Dart, the Charg er, the Coronet, the Polara and the Monaco, Mr. Smith said. The Dart will introduce a new model concept, the Swinger, along with its traditional mod els. The Swinger will be aimed directly at the youth market. It is a low-price,. two-door hardtop and will be available with a wide variety of power plants. in addition to the Swinger, eight other Dart models in five series will be ofiered. Charger, the popular, family size sports car which paced Dodge sales to dramatic all- time record highs, in 1968, will retain its distinctive aerody namic silhouette for 1969, but a list of refinements and im provements have been incor porated. These include a new Charger 500 model for the per formance-minded and a plush leather interior “Special Edi tion” to enhance Charger’s ap peal in the new model year. Charger has been an excit ing car—a winner for Dodge Division, said Mr. Smith. “Pub lic acceptance of our all-new Charger in 1968 zoomed be yond our most optimistic pre dictions. We originally forecast 35,000 sales for 1968 but pub lic response to the Charger quickly caused us to alter pro jections to 85,000. We are aim ing at more than 90,000 Char- R1TZ THEATRE THURSDAY, FRIDAY Danger Diabolik JOHN PHILLIP LAW MARISA MELL MICHEL PICCOLI ger sales in 1969.” A sleek and sporty fourth generation Dodge Coronet ser ies will be introduced for 1969. Classified as an “intermediate size car” the 1969 Coronet will boast of being the largest of its class in the industry. The biggest seller of Dodge’s auto mobile line, Coronet will again be offered in the widest variety of body styles and power train options. The five series will have a total of 17 choices in body style, and seven engines ranging from 170 Cu. in. slant size to a 440 cu. in. 4 bbl. mag num engine. The summary of the 1969 Coronet will be a family size car that is still not too big for. urban traffic problems and versatile enough to fit any new car buyer’s pocketbook. “The Dodge Polara and Mon aco get everything changed but the wheel-base for the coming year,” Mr. Smith said. For the 1969 model year, the Polara and Monaco have been redone completely. New exter iors, high styled interiors and new options enhance and im prove the position of these two cars have carved out for them selves in this highly competitive segment of the automobile mar ketplace. The two models feature areo- dynamic styling themes accen tuating the exterior form and driver oriented cockpit interior treatment. Although both cars have the same basic body style, the styl ing of the grille, rear end and exterior brightwork as well as interior appointments exhibit the distinct difference betwen the two. The Polara will be available in six models for 1969, the Po lara 500 in two. The Monaco will be available in five models with special Monaco Brougham and Monaco 500 packages of fered for the new model year. Mr. Smith invites the public to come by Smith Motor Com pany to see and test drive the 1969 Dodge automobiles. A Green Pennant Safety program was recently inaugurated at Boundary Street School. Ed Young, shown in Center at left with Ralph Setzler, presented the green pennant on behalf of General Motors, which sponsors the program. The green pennant flies daily beneath the American flag on the school's flagstaff only so long as that school has an accident-free record. The pennant is lowered and displayed in side the school whenever a student-caused accident occurs. (Sunphoto by Steve Armfield) Miss Kibler, 91, dies Saturday Miss Blanche A.
