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-

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.
