1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix Convertible at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

This 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix Convertible is a beautiful example of the first-year, top-of-the-line Dart Phoenix and comes outfitted with many fantastic options! With the start of a new decade in 1960, the Dodge division of Chrysler redesigned and expanded its product offerings. In the 50s, Dodge's passenger cars were large and considered more upscale than say a Plymouth, and it would seem that they were competing with General Motors' marques Pontiac and Oldsmobile, and Ford's Mercury division. In other words, a Dodge wasn't considered an entry level car, like a Plymouth, Chevrolet, or Ford might have been; that is, until 1960 when Dodge introduced its Dart line. From a mechanical design prospective, Dodge also redesigned its passenger car lines which now sported the unitized uni-body design that would be touted by Dodge as a major technological improvement. The introduction of the Dart was a major success for Dodge which became the sixth best-selling manufacturer in 1960. In total, Dodge built 8,817 convertibles split across its Dart Phoenix and Polara lines, which makes this particular example a pretty rare car to see today. Powering this '60 Dart is a 318 V8 engine paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor. The 318 V8 is backed by an automatic transmission that is shifted with the novel push-button shifter and exhaust exits via a dual exhaust setup. Being that the Phoenix was the top trim level for the Dodge Dart in 1960, they typically came loaded with wonderful options like power brakes, power steering, and a white vinyl power convertible top. Riding on a set of wide whitewall radial tires paired with a set of full wheelcovers, this '60 Dodge Dart Convertible has a great look and even better ride. The exterior has been refinished correctly in a beautiful Azure Blue. The interior of this 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix Convertible is absolutely stunning! The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in beautiful two-tone color scheme consisting of blue and white vinyl. The futuristic-looking dash, two-tone color-matched door panels, blue carpeting, and steering wheel all appear to be in wonderful condition and all retain a nice stock appearance. The instrument panel consists of a 120 mph translucent speedometer, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, along with indicator lights for oil pressure and amps. The dash is finished with a push-button AM radio, locking glovebox, and various controls for the car.
