RE: 65 coronet models

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hum. 1965 may be unique then. Jim Schield's booklet "Authenticity Guide 
-- 1965 Dodge and Plymouth Hemi Super Stocks" says that under the BDY on 
the Dodge Super Stock fender tag is W11 & 11 represents the body as the 
low-line-two-door sedan. It then says that at the beginning of the 1965 
model year the tag had 421 instead of W11. 
"This [421] car had cheaper interior trim and no side moldings. The 
low-line Coronet was dropped early in the model year and the Coronet 
Deluxe became the lowest line. All Super Stock cars are 11 even though 
they did not have the side moldings standard on the Coronet Deluxe."
