Imagine the 1960s, a time when America was obsessed with going faster, reaching farther, and living louder. Into this gloriously audacious era came the Dodge Dart, a car that was as unassuming as it was revolutionary. Launched in 1960, the Dart was Dodge's attempt to cater to the growing demand for compact cars. But, as with all great underdog stories, the Dart didn't just fulfill expectations-it shattered them.

Does anyone remember the 273 4 BBL?

Yes. And it actually said: 273 four barrel on the side of the front fenders.

Rode in one with fender well headers and a 4 speed, a 66 it was fast.

Did anyone else notice the 66 Valiant Convertible at 2:23? Canadian Valiants used American Dart bodies, but were called Valiants. I believe they were at both Chrysler-Plymouh, Fargo dealers along with Dodge, Dodge Trucks dealers.

Ah, a sharp eye you’ve got there! Spotting the '66 Valiant Convertible at 2:23 - nicely done. Indeed, Canadian Valiants with American Dart bodies, a bit of automotive identity crisis, but quite the charm! Sold alongside Dodge and Fargo trucks - it’s like a family reunion at the dealership. Cheers for the keen observation!

"Launched in 1960, the Dart was Dodge's attempt to cater to the growing demand for compact cars"' LOLOLOL. It started as a reskinned full size Plymouth that enabled Dodge to compete on price with the low priced three. Then in 62 it became mid sized. And finally in 1963 it became compact, but not really. It was a large compact, which were sometimes referred to as senior compacts. That is because despite the stupidity of Dodge dipping down into Plymouth's price range, Dodges were supposed to be bigger and up market compared with Chevy, Ford, and Plymouth.

Ah, the Dodge Dart's journey from a full-size to a 'large compact' is indeed a bit of an automotive rollercoaster! You're absolutely right - it started off competing with the big boys and only later found its way into the compact segment. Thanks for setting the record straight and giving us a good laugh! Cheers!
