In 1965 the Polara name was given to the "C" body which was the full
sized Dodge, and the Coronet name was brought back and given to the
"B" body which was Dodge's mid sized line.  If you park your Polara
next to a Coronet of the same year the difference in size (and weight)
will become obvious.  The '65 Polara had a all up weight in the
neighborhood of 4000 lbs. where the '64 "B" body was about 600 lbs.
lighter.  Changing the body designations and playing musical cars with
their names was one of the changes Chrysler corp just did that year.

In fact it's about 8 - 10 inches shorter than my buddy's '71 300, from bumper to bumper.  Any thoughts?  This is also weighing on what intake I'm going to run.  A good explanation will be appreciated.
