1960 Dodge Matador. The Matador and Polara were the full-sized Dodges for 1960. This was a one year only body style. These were available in 2 and 4 door versions including coupes as well as convertibles and station wagons. This is one of the last of the cars sporting fins of any significant size. The car in this movie has 112,000 miles on it and is the original engine and transmission. It has virtually no leaks. The original spare tire is still in the trunk and still holds air. The 361B V8 engine is quite peppy and moves the car right along. On a good day it will chirp the tires on a 1-2 shift. The car recently came to Arizona from Spokane and March of 2013 I installed the AC in it. I also removed the generator and replaced it with a GM 1-wire alternator as the generator was not up to the task of the electric loads with the AC. Around the 5:00 mark there is video of the engine.
