It was a quick fix for the dealers to have a full-sized car to sell when the '62 Dodge was downsized

The '62 Custom 880 mated the front clip of the '61 Polara to the '62 Chrysler Newport body. Styling improved for '63 and again for '64 by which time it looked really good!

rear view similar/same as a '62 Chrysler.
Pontiac down sized in '61

'64 Dodge 880 for comparison [I believe it is bigger than the Pontiac,but too lazy to look it up]:

We never had the 880 series in Canada.
