1969 Dodge Polara 500 Convertible

The Dodge Polara was introduced for the 1960 model year as Dodge's top-of-the-line full-size car. For 1969, the Polara 500 was reintroduced as a mid-level car. Available powerplants included a slant 6 225ci, and 318, 383, and 440 V8 engines. The 1969 Dodge Polara models offered the Super-Lite option, which placed a quartz "turnpike beam" headlamp in the driver side grille. The Dodge Polara is best remembered as the top cop car of it's day. With unibody construction and a 440 under the hood, it was a match for most muscle cars.

573 Dodge Polara 500 Convertibles were built in 1969. This example appears at Glendale.
