It sounds as if you have a Polara, not a Dart. Or someone has put Polara
trim on the front door and fender, extending the trim .
To really solve the problem, what are the first four digits of the VIN?

Subject: [FWDLK] 1961 Dodge D-500
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!
