We have designs to get you in our power
Our engineers are a wily group of guys who spend most of (heir time
dreaming up ways to win your approval. Take the Dodge Poilra 500.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a car that’s got more going for you.
Deepfy padded, contour-formed bucket seats. Ad-vinyl upholstery.
Silt fo-sill carpeting. Padded dash. Center console. And lots of other
frimmmgs. But that’s only the half of it.
Perhaps our approach to power will further dftrslrafe the point.
With the Polara 500 you aren't baked in on a certain engine. You can
choose frofn a standard 318 cu. ift. V8 (ip (oi street-version of our
walloping, all-out 42&cu. in. RamchargerVg. Compromise? Nope. We
just feel that a freedom of choice is the surest roed to your approv Vt.
That's our way of doing business-giving you lots of car and lots
of satisfaction at a price that’s hard to quarrel with.
Your Dodge Dealer Witt be glad to demonstrate the point.
