Hey Guys,
Today I purchased a wrecked and rusted 1961 Dodge
D-500 2-door hardtop (minus engine and trans). The rear quarter emblems
are missing so I can't tell if it is a Phoenix, Pioneer, etc...
The side trim on this car extends all the way to the leading edge of the
front fender and is an "upper/lower" trim similar to that on a '58 Plymouth
Belvedere (at least on the doors and front fenders). A stainless "spear"
on the upper part of each front fender divides the trim into the two
"upper/lower" pieces. I've looked at a bunch of '61 Dodges on the net and
have yet to find one with this particular side trim. Every '61
Dart I've seen has the side trim that ends on the door and does not
extend to the front of the car. This car is a total wreck, but does have a
little trim left and the super rare '61 D-500 emblem. Has anyone out there
ever encountered a '61 with trim like this? There appears to be evidence
that "Sportone" type inserts were once installed between the upper and lower
trim pieces. This all looks factory, but who knows? Any help on this
matter would be appreciated!
