8 Awesome Dodge Models You've Probably Forgotten!

[@michaelbabella9012]

my father was a process engineer for Chrysler Corp at the Outer Drive plant in Detroit. He couldnt afford Chryslers, so growing up we had a 1960 Dodge Matador station wagon, and a 1960 Dodge Dart 4 door sedan. The Matador wagon is what we took vacations in as it had the 361 engine and could carry our family as well as pulled a Winnebago 215 travel trailer. i grew up riding in that seat in the back that faced rearward, and loved every minute of it. Beautiful cars, beautifully designed. today, i cant tell a toyota from a nissan from a mitsubishi, from a ford, back then, just the design cues said dodge, ford, or gm.

[@stanthurman9008]

My father had a 1960 station wagon push button automatic transmission , 4 door .loved that long car .

[@gene978]

I was born in 1962 and always loved seeing Chrysler Products on the road.

[@bobjohnson205]

Too bad they all fall apart or rusted away!

[@DavidSmith-xs3or]

My dad owned a 57 Royal Lancer convertible. Bought it brand new in 57- sold it ten years later when I was eight years old. It devastated me when he sold it. We drove it cross-country in 65 from Detroit to LA. We stayed in one of those Indian-themed motor lodges. Man, what a good time it was to be a kid. My dad worked on the line at Dodge before the war, and was always loyal to the company.

[@jamesmyers9285]

That is a beautiful car, I saw one at the Classic Auto Show in Burbank and Bob's Big Boy seven years ago. Wow, great memories for you.

[@morthedgebuckle227]

I love the 1960 Polara

[@TheJHMAN1]

I grew up riding in the back of a Station Wagon, in the 60's and 70's that's what families drove.

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

57 Dodge Royale Lancer Is Gorgeous 😊

[@unclefester6033]

My Dad had a 1960 Dodge Pioneer & Grandma had a Dodge Seneca both similar to the dodge Matatdor

[@falcon664]

My Uncle had a 57 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 2 door hardtop in green and white. That was followed by a 64 Polara 500 2 door hardtop in black with a red interior: buckets and console with floor shift. I still think it is one of the most beautiful cars. That was followed by a 70 Coronet 500 in green and finally a 77 Gold Diplomat. From there he traded down to Cadillacs.

[@What-x7p]

Beautiful Car's..All Classics

[@DominikQuesnel]

Also the dodge midnight express truck i black version of the already rare lil red express truck

[@jaymartell2967]

WARLOCK (Black Pickup)

[@jamesmyers9285]

A friend of mine was given his Grandmother's 1982 Dodge 400 Coupe to drive to College. The car was twenty-one years old, flawless with less than 19,000 miles on the odometer. It had a 2.2L Turbo 4-cylinder engine, three-speed automatic, Power Steering/Brakes/Windows/Door Locks, Bucket seats with center console, air conditioning, Wire Wheel Covers, and a quarter rear padded vinyl roof. It was Charcoal Gray with a Light Gray Vinyl Top and Interior. That car was nice! He still owns the car, restored it about six years ago, and drives the car daily. His Dad still has his Mothers's 1962 Dodge Lancer GT two-door hardtop in White with Blue Trim and interior, Air Conditioning, and pushbutton transmission, like new!

I want that station wagon one. Boss

[@brendakempf186]

We had one of these. It was light blue. Back when cars didn't cost what my parents used to pay to own a house.

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

I was born in 1960 and I remember a photo of her carrying me back from hospital, getting out of a 1950's two-tone blue and white car, I still love those cars.

[@Risteard156]

They just don't make cars like these anymore 😢

[@kenwittick6616]

Thank God

[@jayfeder8217]

The LA Femme, was actually very pretty.

[@jacobrev6567]

Yay pd evolution is back for more videos

[@pd07]

Thanks bro 😎

[@MrSuzuki1187]

the 1957 Chrysler lineup featured the first radical tailfins, but what is often overlooked it that they alson introduced the first dual headlight feature. My Dad bought a 1957 Plymouth, 1959 Plymouth, and a 1960 Plymouth that featured both of these plus torsion bar suspension that as a kid, got to witness all of these.

[@RonDuncan-m9g]

I had one new Plymouth and I loved it .

[@jerrycallender9352]

"LANCER" was the designation for hardtops.

[@trudygreer2491]

Until it wasn't, like Catalina, Bel Air, Riviera, and DeVille... (But you are correct, it was the Dodge hardtop designator from 1955-59)

[@michealfigueroa6325]

Brain Cells got an even bigger chalinge with "DeSoto" from the same time TY for sharing

[@Frank-pe9pk]

I was born late 50’s and remember most of those cars. Wasn’t a big Dodge fan except when the Barracuda first came out.

[@mistert7958]

Bought an '84 600 Conv. in '87. Guy bought it for his wife for Xmas, she hated it!. Had 6,500 miles when I got it. It was fun, but just a fancied up Kcar.

[@garyfrancis6193]

No I haven’t forgotten.

[@paulfrederick8902]

I remember my parents got a 1960 Dodge Seneca brand new. It had a slant 6, 3 "on the tree" and was a medium brown color. Wish it was still around so I could replace the 6 with a big block Mopar 😊

[@kirbywaite1586]

You neglected to show the 1959 Dodge pickup with the tail fins. Those are very rare.

[@brianmee5398]

We had a 1955 Custom Royal Lancer. Pink and black and white, but wasn’t a La Femme. First 20 deg of steering wheel set the body roll angle, then started turning. Small hemi V8.

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

Where be the Mirada and 80-83 Creedoba? Them J-bodies wuz worthy of uh mention.

[@mistert7958]

A coworker had a Mirada, with the fake convertible looking fiberglass shell. It flew off one day, on the freeway, revealing all the underlying rust!

[@bretthewitt3890]

Yes, the Mirada was really neat!! Also left out was the Aspen/Volare.

[@terrysellers6712]

I remember all these cars. My father sold them new, also, they were on the road until the 80s. You would see them in supermarkets, parking lots, drive-ins, gas stations, they were like dog shit, all over the place. But I'm happy to see the young generation has discovered a lost city under the sea that nobody knew about 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!

[@paullarson3417]

You missed the Dodge 880. I owned one, but I don't remember if it was a 1962 or 1963.

[@TwoPair72]

I really wish Dodge can get out from being blanketed by Stellantis. I'd would consider them again. They built some really solid vehicles over the years that lasted several 100K miles being well maintained.

[@robertpasquini4097]

The convertible market wasn’t in decline, it was non existent.

[@paulfrederick8902]

Mopar or No car!

[@marktweet7395]

A station wagon. But who takes the train anymore?

[@thomaslgoodwin3]

Dodge Magnum did NOT have retractable headlights. The headlights had a glass window over them.

[@metallampman]

i got the worst sunburn of my life in the very back seat of our dodge just like that it was green

[@harrytazzia4133]

Slant 6….Huber Ave. foundry, Detroit.

[@briankupser3304]

I owned one of those Magnums. Biggest POS ever. Computer box on the aircleaner… what a disastrous joke.

[@syyenergy7]

That's not a 1966 Dodge pickup. It's a 1965. I owned a '66. 1966 has one headlight on each side with the pie tins.

[@hughjass1044]

I don't recall the Dodge 400 at all.

[@drewbernard208]

Recall me Dad trading in a 59 Merc Park Lane 4 dr hdtp (1st FoMoCo prod he ever owned) he had it only 9 mos na hated it. He traded for a 60 Matador Wagon a 4 dr hdtp w/ a 413 cu . It wasa beauty na rather quick for a wagon.

[@johncolette6014]

Yes, I remember you. I thought you were odd looking then. You still are.

[@matrox]

Dodge never had any awesome cars until the 68' Charger. Sure they had some good powertrains, but the over cars as awesome before 68' nope. I watched them all come and go in real time.

[@billolsen4360]

I'm sorry, but the 61 Lance was ugly, but not as bad looking as it's Plymouth sister, the Valiant.

[@nothing-b2n]

No

[@Gary-s8e]

that a. old car

[@cuda426hemi]

Bot garbage. The name "Lancer" in '57 simply was a model spec meaning it had the slick sports roof like Plymouths had, but that roof/spec didn't apply to 4 door or post cars. 👀

[@preeyakumari-i2q]

Then it’s a hardtop, got nothing to do with the Plymouth !

[@cuda426hemi]

​@@preeyakumari-i2q Plymouth had the same Sports Roof 2 door HT available on Savoy, Belvedere and standard on Fury, but didn't designate it as a "model" like Dodge did on their Coronet, Royal and Custom Royal models. No other Mopars in '57 HAD that 2D HT roof, bot boy. Try to keep up, Dude here says the Custom Royal Lancer was available in all body styles. Uhhhh no. The word Lancer MADE it a HT. 🎬

[@preeyakumari-i2q]

@@cuda426hemi l agree isn’t that what I said !

[@stephenstanfield7483]

Sometimes it's better to forget 😅😅

[@kirbywaite1586]

You are welcome to.

[@Loulovesspeed]

Today the word "awesome" is probably the most abused and incorrectly used word in the dictionary. Look up the definition if you doubt me! In this case, it is used as an attention getting, click bait heading to lure you into watching the video, hoping to see something truly "awesome." At best, these cars might be interesting or unusual, but they are anything but awesome.
