The only real body difference was the roof and back light in the two door hardtops where the Phoenix' roof panel was shorter and it's back light taller than in the Pioneer. If you look at each one you can easily note that the Phoenix' roof panel is wider than its length and on the Pioneer, with its longer roof panel is the opposite. I have to say that although the difference did not jump out at you it did make the Phoenix look airier. When sitting in the back seat of a Phoenix 2 dr hdt if you tilted your head back you could see through the window.
Wish I had taken photos of the red Phoenix and the white Polara 2 dr hdts dad had as field cars back when he was working for Dodge. Both were very good looking cars, albeit with somewhat difficult grilles. But from all other angles, they were beauties. The Dart was a 318 and the Polara had either a 361 or 383 four barrel engine but it was more the smooth, "torquer" motor as indicated by its single exhaust. Both had the flipper wheel cover and swivel seats. Sure looked nice when dad was home on weekends and they were both sitting in the driveway. Yes I did get to drive them as I was 16 at the time.

What do you mean by "difficult grilles" ?
