FULL STORY of Dodge's Ugliest Car: The 1961-1962 Dodge Lancer (Slant Six)

[@josephgaviota]

My dad had customers with both Lancers and Valients ... and they were _FINE,_ reliable cars. Since I have that good memory of them, I think they're NICE.

[@fanguy247b9]

Call me crazy but honestly I think it’s a work of art.

It's nicer than any jellybean car of today.

[@John-wg6xw]

Me too. I didn't think so before but I agree now.

[@bullnukeoldman3794]

I was a car-nut 10 year old when these appeared. Lancers and Valiants, to me, were and are great looking cars and very different from those of other manufacturers at that time. I guess that beauty, as always, is in the eye of the beholder.

[@mdogg1604]

Yes they were good cars with the then new slant six. I really like the style of the '63-'67 Valiants.

Yes, look at 90's Skylark if you want to see ugly. This is like an upscale Barracuda.

I love these and the Plymouth Variant. The slant 6 is one of my favorite engines. I wish I could find in this shape. Thanks for the video and all of your videos!

[@20CentMotors]

I've driven a few of the 1st series Valiants. They were solidly built, had nimble handling, and powerful enough to be a fun roadway companions. The power steering option gave pinky finger light steering. The '62 manual steering got an even slower ratio steering box than earlier years. I much prefer these with power steering.

[@GregPerryman-kk2gs]

It wasn't just the "tower of power", it was the "leaning tower of power"! When I was very young in the early 60's, Lancers and Valiants were standard issue in our driveway. My favorite was a 63 Valiant, much improved over the earlier Lancers.

[@JeffW77]

I drove a 61 or 62 Valiant for a couple days 40+ years ago. It felt amazingly tight and solid. I thought the Valiant and Lancer looked unusual but sleek. Looking back, I don't understand the appeal of the Falcon (one Ford guy in David Halberstam's "The Reckoning," attributed the Falcon to R. McNamara's personality--"He wore these little granny glasses and he got this little granny car) nor the Comet, which I thought was a really homely car. Chrysler certainly did make some goofy looking cars in the early 60s--I happen to like the Valiant and Lancer in Adam's video. Great video, Adam. Thank you.

[@santaclause2875]

Rode to junior high and high school, daily, in one of these. Classmate of mine's mom owned it, drove lots of us neighbor kids to and from school. I always remember the 'ticking' of the engine. Hers had the automatic trans, radio, heater. That was it. Rides to school on cold mornings meant it would die at every stop light (carburetor icing) until it warmed up enough. She'd go through a hilarious routine of 'turning everything off' as in radio, heater, lights, etc., before she'd attempt to restart. Then, back on again after she'd got it restarted, which sometimes meant waiting through another 'red light' signal cycle. Fun times !!!!

[@TaylorZ2]

Carburetor icing was a huge problem on the slant six in cold damp weather, as was vapor lock in hot weather. But other than that, they were great engines.

[@gm12551]

I wonder how long she warmed it up

[@santaclause2875]

[@stevef4304]

Yeah, my Lancer outperformed the '60 falcon I had before it in every way.

[@BillofRights1951]

In 1969 I needed a car as I headed off to UCSB to start my college career. A buddy of mine had parents who worked at Jet propulsion lab, and they knew a scientist who had a fire engine red ‘62 Plymouth Valiant Signet 2-door with 82k on the clock for sale. When I went to see it, it was absolutely showroom, with the 225 Slant Six, three on the tree, and a very upmarket aftermarket A/C unit that blew ice cold. Though I was blown away by its condition, I thought it was the weirdest car I’d ever seen. I was aware of them certainly but buying one was another matter. He only wanted $450, so I bought it. What a terrific automobile. Never any problems with engine, clutch or accessories. No squeaks or rattles, ever. The aftermarket A/C never overtaxed the factory radiator . Drove it up to 150k and the only thing that ended my ownership was being rear ended at a stoplight, totalling it. I loved that car , drove it everywhere …but it always seemed odd to me and was a bit of a chick repellent ! Great engineered car , however!

[@markdc1145]

This car is so strange looking but it has grown on me over the years. Recently saw a nicely restored black Lancer with red interior on the street and it really stood out. To put things into perspective, think how frumpy compact cars like the Rambler looked in the late '50s and then this car appeared just a few years later. It must have looked ultra-modern back then.

[@joelkoosed902]

It looked just as ultra-ugly when it came out as it does today.

[@martentrudeau6948]

Virgil Exner did a good job IMO, maybe it was not as a successful the Falcon and Nova, but I think it has aged well, it is distinctive looking. As a kid I didn't like them, but now I do.

[@rogerdodrill4733]

Funny how tasts change as we age​@@martentrudeau6948

[@LynxStarAuto]

@@martentrudeau6948all of these Exner designs were for full size cars. Take AI and have it stretch these platforms, and they are much more pleasing to the eye. Chrysler executives acted on a false hunch that Ford & GM were downsizing all their cars, and ordered the design team to downsize the Chryco line up. Exner frowned on this as he said it would make his cars look ugly. It was done anyway by the design team while Exner was recovering from a heart attack. After the sales flop, he was used as a scape goat, and fired. Although, Chryco brass was already eyeing his replacement Elwood Engle who they stole away from Ford. He would design the fuselage cars and the muscle cars of the late 60's and 70's which are timeless classics.

[@kaysguy]

Love the styling, but then I drove one until 1975.

[@5roundsrapid263]

[@ScatPackRob]

My 1st car was a 1961 Lancer 4 door with the 225 slant 6. Thanks for the memories.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

I think the Lancer was more attractive than the Valiant- the front end reminds me of a simplified Imperial front end from 61-63. The sides and rear... Yeah, they're wild. The interiors do look very nice and quite tasteful for the period. I think these cars were a great size and I can understand why someone would seek them out as an alternative to a period full size model... Today though, I think I'd rather stick with a big boat.

[@timothykeith1367]

Visibility is fantastic.

[@61rampy65]

When Adam said that there were 2.5 different engines, I thought he was going to mention the "Hyper-Pak", a dealer installed package that included and aluminum long ram intake manifold and a 4 barrel carb. I can't remember if it included any exhaust mods or camshaft changes, but it definitely increased the power! They are rather scarce today, but impressive to look at! I had forgotten about the aluminum block version.

Chrysler was looking to make something “unmistakable” but ended up simply with a mistake.

I remember these, along with Dodge Darts and Plymouth Valliant's being very common in my youth. Many people my age had them as hand me down first cars in the late 1960's. People used them up, beat them down and wore them out. I haven't seen one in years.

[@michaelwhite2823]

The Valiant and Lancer WAGONS weren't too bad. The coupes look weirdest. I can't wait until you do a video on the 1961 Dodge Polara and Dart. Strange styling as well.

[@charlesdalton985]

I think the Lancer is better looking than the Valiant of the same era (which admittedly is not saying much). Regarding your mention of the size of cars increasing, I've always found it fascinating that the first Chevelles were essentially the same size as the full size 55 Chevrolets. That was only 9 years. Interesting thoughts and presentation as always - thank you.

[@JeffSproul]

Good video. My question for Adam is when are you going to cover the 62 Chevy II? My father had one of the first which he ordered from the factory a Roman Red with red interior 300 4 door with Powerglide and factory AM radio. My 2 older brothers drove it in high school and then I drove it thru high school and the first few years of college. With the straight 6 they were nice compact cars with clean lines and very roomy inside. It had a decent sized trunk and handled well.

[@rogercamp6071]

We had one in white with turquoise trim and interior with the six cylinder and three on the tree, the engine and drive line were A one but the front suspension was so crappy that my dad resorted to using recap tires on it.

[@Sundancer268]

I learned to drive on a 60 Dodge Dart Seneca Wagon with the Slant Six and three on the tree. I always thought it was an ugly car, but I loved driving it and have always had a soft spot in my heart for station wagons.

[@sgrant9814]

What i like about this vehicle, and others like it of the time, is the thin roof pillars providing good visibility...i cannot believe that today with current engineering knowledge and materials not readily available in the 60s, car makers cannot again give us good visibility with thinner roof pillars and meet safety standards

[@kennethsouthard6042]

I'm 61 and I didn't know until a few years ago, but in 1960, The Comet was not the Mercury Comet, but just the Comet and was available at Lincoln Mercury dealers. It was actually meant to be an Edsel Comet, but since Edsel was killed they didn't immediately know what to do with it. It wasn't officially rebadged as a Mercury until 1962. Another thing I never knew until a few years ago, is that I always thought that Plymouth was a higher-level car than Dodge. I guess I always assumed that Chrysler structured their dealers like Ford and GM where higher level brands were sold together. This was pretty obvious with Lincoln Mercury, but you never saw a Cadillac Chevrolet dealer or Cadillac Pontiac for that matter. If Cadillac was paired up with another car brand it was always Oldsmobile or Buick.

[@arjnsdca]

You do know that the Comet wasn’t a Mercury until 1962. It was going to be an Edsel until the elimination of the Edsel in 1960. It was just a Comet until 62. 🎉

[@briantayler1230]

G'day from Australia. The Chrysler "Valiant" and Ford "Falcon" were very popular here, as was the market leader, Holden "GM". These were all made here. What Americans called compact cars were our family-size cars. We never got the huge models and called them "Yank Tanks". Ford family-size cars were all called "Falcon" until the end of Ford Australia and the same for the "Valiant". I own a 2009 Ford Falcon.

Well, we all have our guilty pleasures, Adam. Despite an understanding of why others find the Lancer ugly, I can't agree, even if some details are beyond understanding, and it projects a very ungainly appearance from some angles. My Dad had scores of auto sales catalogs that indulgent car dealers had allowed him to take home as a child during the depression, and he was super excited about the classic touches that Virgil Exner applied to his 1960 Valiant "company car". Attuned to Dad's taste, and well aware that he really liked the Valiant's performance and handling, Eleven-year-old me fell for the '61 Lancer in a big way. I simply preferred the Lancer's emulation of the 1960 Pontiac/ '61 Imperial grilles over the Valiant's ersatz radiator. In fact, I briefly owned a 1961 Lancer 770 two-door post during the mid-1990s. Equipped with the smaller 170 cid Slant 6 and Torqueflite, it was a very enjoyable ride. As a matter of fact, Road and Track had tested it in period, and gave it a good review, finding it a nimble performer with more than adequate handling and ride qualities. They called it "just about the limit" of size for a roomy family car, but agreed that the styling was "love it or leave it." I've always thought that removal of the character line along the bottom third of the doors, along with the check mark on the front door, and rounding off the canted fins would have ameliorated the excess. I'm still in love when I see one of these "toads" at a car show.
