Re: 1963 Dodge 880 Custom 2 Door

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

The 1963 line of Mopar cars was Exner's last job at Chrysler.  When Engel 
came aboard in late 1961 the 1963 designs had been approved for production. 
Engel did have time for some grille, trim and taillamp cleanup, but not much 
else.  1964 was the first year for an Engel facelift and 1965 for a 
completely new car (the C body trio).

The grille is Buick - 1958 to be exact.  The headlamps are from a  1965 
Chrysler (although upside down) while the taillamps are from a 1956 Clipper 
(also used by Packard in 1957-58).

The tail end is interesting but the rest is a little cluttered for my 
tastes.
