Wow, that Dodge is an 'interesting' looking car. Not my taste, but I do love cars like this that are just so out there in design. Truly Awesome!

Just had to look it up. Found various pictures. The view of the rear 3/4 r's of the car is really neat. Now that I do like!!

Rebadged, with a different grill, the Virgil Exner styling was a bit radical for the time. Americans weren't ready for aluminum engines - and the extra care needed for the coolant system - so the slant-six aluminum block version was only offered in '60-'62ish. I knew a guy in high school that had one, and saw a survivor years later with a blower.
