Dodge Coronet

In the late ’40s, the first model of the Dodge Coronet was introduced. It was the aftermath of World War II, and the Coronet boasted the typical postwar body style design that was so popular around the U.S. But in the ’60s, the Coronet was revitalized and turned into a B-body type of car that resembled the Dodge Polara.

When the 5th-generation Dodge Coronet made its debut in 1965, it became Dodge’s best-selling vehicle of the year, with over 209K units sold. A racing version of this particular Coronet model was heavily used in competitive organized drag racing at the time.
