Couch like seating and plenty of head room for your favorite fedora.

“It was somewhere in a fairy tale
I used to take her home in my car
We learned about love in the back of the Dodge
The lesson hadn't gone too far”

I like this Chryco era much more now than when I was a young man. I really enjoy seeing them at shows now.

Me too. These cars are a good example of "function over form". They were designed to be ridden in, not looked at. The styling is appealing in its purposeful modesty.

I owned a few [4] of this period Dodges, the flat head 6 was gutless and ran terrible cold and started hard in temps under 20 F. So high & heavy they handled terrible. Road alright if you drove like an old lady and on relative flat ground. Fluid drive and gutless engine on hills was tough.
