intermediate-size cars for 1971. There styling.
Dodge’s intermediate cars in
1971 will be split into two sepa
rate lines in an innovation de
signed to offer uncompromised
products. In the past, Coronet
and Charger shared the inter
mediate segment of the market,
both being built on the same
wheelbase and same floor pan.
In 1971, the Coronet will be built
on a 118-inch wheelbase, while
the Charger will be on a 115-
inch wheelbase. In 1971 the Co
ronet and Charger will also be
built on separate floor plans
which will eliminate a design
compromise of past years be
tween hardtop and sedan mo
dels. In the Coronet, Dodge will
be able to give sedan buyers
all of the advantages of a full
sized car without trying to fudge
the leg room and trunk room
space into a hardtop floor pan.
In the Charger, Dodge will give
the hardtop enthusiast all of the
sleek styling and sporty propor
tions without the need to em
ploy an extended trunk and ele
vated roof line. There are six
Charger moreld: Charger
Coupe, Charger 500, Charger S.
E., Charger, Super Bee, and R-
T. There are three Coronet mo
dels—the Coronet, Coronet Cus
tom, and Coronet Brougham.
An entirely new entry by
Dodge is the Demon. Smaller
than its “Big Brother,” Dart,
the Demon is a semi-fastback
coupe built on a 108-inch wheel
base. It will be a price leader—
a value package with particular
appeal for younger families, col
lege students, and men and wo
men who either commute to
work or do a lot of town and
city driving. Handling, perfor
mance, and economy charac
teristics make the Demon al
home either on the road or a-
round town. Its compact size
simplifies parking, yet offers
plenty of room for passengers
and luggage.
The Dart has been one of
Dodge’s most popular cars
since its introduction, and the
sales philolsophy behind the 1971
Dart is: “When you have a
winning combination, w hy
change it?” The Dodge Dart,
according to C. M. Smith, of
Smith Motor Company, is the
largest and the best buy of all
the compacts.
The Challenger, the aptly na
med new addition last year to
the pony herd, continues to
cater to the individualistic style
enthusiast in 1971 with an at
traction for every taste and bud
get. For the economy-minded
there will be the Challenger
Coupe. The popular standard
will be the Challenger two-door
hardtop and convertible models.
For the performance buff, there
will be the Challenger R-T with
a long list of sporty options
and engines.
Dodge’s big cars—the Polara
and Monaco—are designed as
in the past for the buyer want
ing more comfort, more style,
and more leg, shoulder, and
head room than in any other
cars in their class. The 1971
Polara places added emphasis
on economy, value, styling, and
comfort and will be even more
competitive and appealing by
aiming at the low price end
of the standard-size car mar
ket. Monaco offers additional
luxury and elegance.
Dodge offers a wide variety
of engines, ranging from the
198 cubic inch slant six, through
the 225, 318, 340, 360, 383, 440,
and 426 hemi engines.
Dodge is also interested in
reducing smog and making our
air safer to breathe. In addi
tion to anti-smog devices al
ready on Dodge cars, 1971 mo
dels will have a gasoline eva
poration control system as stan
dard equipment. This system
prevents loss of fuel vapors
from the carburetor and fuel
tank into the atmosphere.
first time this year. This luxu
rious car’s elegant styling, lush
appointments, and acclaimed
ride clearly offer the luxury
car buyer the ultimate in Ame
rican cars.
An all-new look and an all-
new marketing concept high
light the Plymouth Satellite in
termediate car line for the 1971
model year. Two exterior
shapes are featured in the Sa
tellite line-up, each with dis
tinctive sheet metal. The two-
door hardtops are built on a 115-
inch wheelbase, with styling
that is contemporary, clean,
and sleek. They present an un
cluttered, trim appearance, fea
turing a long hood, short rear
deck, and a semi-fastback pro
file. The four-door sedans and
station wagons are built on a
117-inch wheelbase and are de
signed to give more interior
passenger room than formerly.
The Barracuda, long a success
ful compact specialty car,
sports a new front and rear
treatment for the 1971 model
year. Styling improvements and
mechanical refinements for the
coming year should make Bar
racuda more popular than ever.
The Duster, priced only slight
ly above the so-called “mini”
cars, is one of the finest buys
on the road. Despite its low
price, it offers plenty of head,
leg, and shoulder room for even
unusually big men. In addition,
it has trunk space that vies
in size with that in standard-
size cars.
The Plymouth Fury for 1971
offers a new front and rear
appearance, a new 360-cubic
inch engine, and engineering re
finements and improvements.
One of the finest of these is
the Torsion-Quiet Ride, pre
viously available only on the
more expensive Chrysler and
Imperial models. Fury is built
on a 120-inch wheelbase and of
fers a wide variety of models,
engines, and other options.
The 1971 Chryslers are built
on a 124-inch wheelbase, and
offer interior comfort rarely
found in other cars in its price
class. Styling refinements, en
gineering improvements, and a
new level.

Chrysler-Plymouth line, is of
