Third generation Dodge Dart (1963-66, this is a ‘65 270)

This nicely raked Dart is quite possibly the best bodystyle from this generation, not too round and overly decorated as the first few years, and just before the awkwardly squared off front end in 1966.

While this Dart was a few years earlier than Dodge’s “Scat Pack,” I’ve always been a fan of those Dodge and Plymouth cartoon logos.  It’s always nice when a brand can have a little sense of humor.

This is a 1966 Dart GT.  Only the cars from ‘66 featured this front end.  I really like the stance, though like many cars of the era, sometimes the body seems just too big for the platform.  Great badging as well.  I really appreciate a badge like this even more knowing back in the ’60s someone in Highland Park had the skill to sculpt that logo by hand out of modeling clay.

1970-‘72 Dodge Dart Swinger in a beautiful blue.  I love the proportion of this car, not quite full size, not too small, and one of the best front end graphics of the Dart family.  Great badging as well.
