Re: 1 of 15 '63 Polara 500 Convertible

I have a copy of Darrell's 1963 Ramcharger Guide and it indicates: That for Body type 645 Dodge Polara 500 Conv Ramcharger Low compression they made 6 Manual transmissions and 15 Auto for a total of 21 vehicles.

Without access to Darrel Davis or Galen Govier's registries, which are mentioned in the article, I took the word of the author from Hemmings. I've been told over the years that 60's Chrysler documentation, specifically 60 - 66, was either destroyed, lost or stolen. Who knows. All I know is I'm still looking for some minor documentation on my '64 Sport Fury which I've had for 47 years. Does it matter? Only to me!

The listing says 1 of 15 Max Wedge Polara 500 convertibles. I'm skeptical about that. Darrel Davis's book has only 1 of 7 1963 Max Wedge Polara 500 cars, never mind convertibles. Not sure where the 1 of 15 comes from. Unless I'm mistaken.

Thanks for posting the links. Very nice ride. A friend of mine noticed that the restorer or someone painted the undercarriage a different color than the factory would have and also added frame connectors, I guess at the same time, which seems like a good thought to prevent the 'vert unibody from doing the twist.

Thanks,
Gary H.
