Well, the Super Light was an innovation whose time never came. I’m pretty sure this was the only year it was offered.

What is a "Super Light"? '69 Dodge Polara 500 1,495 convertibles were made. Earlier Dodges called ultralight [around 1964] had aluminum front fenders etc. on totally stripped down models for drag racing. But, not in '69 and not on a Polara 500 convertible.
It is beautiful and in GREEN!

Turns out it was spelled Super-Lite and was available in both ‘69 and ‘70. https://www.hagerty.com/media/maintenance-and-tech/space-age-dodge-super-lite/
Paul; Are you referring to the light in the grille?
Yes, now I remember the super lite in the grill.
I liked this car as a 2drht.
When I was in the Navy, I had a 4-door hardtop (green) with a 318 & then a 2-door hardtop (yellow) with a 383…loved them both.
