AJ’s Car of the Day: 1964 Dodge Polara 500 2-Door Hardtop

Car: Dodge Polara 500 2-Door Hardtop

Year: 1964

What makes it special: The Polara was introduced for the 1960 model year as Dodge‘s top-of-the-line full-size car, after the introduction of the Dodge Custom 880 in 1962, the Polara nameplate designated a step below the full sized best trimmed Dodge model, Polara had been downsized to what was in effect intermediate, or mid-size status that year. In its various forms, the Polara name was used by Dodge until 1973, when its position in Dodge’s line-up was replaced by the Dodge Monaco.

What made it famous: The 1964 models received a revised front end and new tail lamps to distinguish them from the 1963 cars. Rear end treatment took its inspiration from the Chevrolet Impala, the Polara models now featuring six small, square-shaped taillights of three on each side surrounded by an attractive bright trim panel. Lesser mid-size Dodges featured only four taillights with two on each side and lacked the bright trim panel. A sensational new “C” pillar for the hardtop coupes, combined with the more attractive front and rear end styling, made the ’64s look totally new and longer/ lower/wider as well, resulting in a significant increase of sales over 1963. The Dodges were available with optional V8 engines of up to 413 cu in. These mid-sized Dodges and similar models from Plymouth competed successfully as stock cars in NASCAR races, and in stock-automatic classes in drag racing, where their smaller size and lighter weight gave them an advantage over the larger cars from Ford and General Motors.

Why I would want one: Something different. It’s got great looks, but it’s also not as common as Fury’s, Belvedere’s or many other Mopar offerings you’ll usually see at car shows.

Fun fact: The name Polara is a reference to the Polaris star, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race during the early 1960’s. The Polara was a competitor to the Ford Galaxie 500 and the Chevrolet Impala.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

Car: Lincoln Continental Mark IV

Year: 1972

What makes it special: The Continental Mark IV was a personal luxury car that was sold and marketed by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company from the 1972 to 1976 model years. The third generation of the Mark series, the Mark IV grew in size over its Continental Mark III predecessor and its Cadillac Eldorado rival. With designers again using sharp-edged fenders, hidden headlamps, and a tall radiator-style grille, the Continental Mark IV retained the traditional “long-hood, short deck” coupe proportions of the Mark III. All Mark IV’s were equipped with a vinyl roof. The Mark IV introduced the opera window to the Mark series, a feature that would be featured in the Mark through the discontinuation of the Mark VI after 1983. For 1972, it was an almost universally specified option, becoming standard for 1973.

What made it famous: Sharing a common chassis with the Ford Thunderbird, the Mark IV was given its own exterior design from the windows down, returning hidden headlights, a radiator-style grille, and a Continental spare tire trunk lid. The spare tire was actually stored on a ledge in the trunk on top of the gas tank, immediately behind the rear seat. In what would later become a long-running tradition for the Lincoln model line, in 1976, the Mark IV introduced Designer Editions as an option series, which consisted of specially coordinated exterior and interior trims developed between Lincoln and contemporary fashion designers. All Mark IV’s were equipped with the 460 cu in 4V Ford 385 series 16-valve V8. Rated at 365 hp in the Mark III, the 460 was carried over to the Mark IV. For 1972, rated output underwent a numeric decrease to 212 hp. In order to comply with changing EPA emissions regulations, Ford was required to decrease the compression ratio of the engine. All examples of the Mark IV were equipped with a Ford C6 3-speed automatic transmission.

Why I would want one: It’s a big car, but it’s also a very cool, stylish car.

Fun fact: All Continental Mark IVs were assembled at the Wixom Assembly Plant in Wixom, Michigan, alongside the standard Lincoln Continental and the Ford Thunderbird.
