63 Polara 500

[billpierce]

Hi,

Finally have the car I have been after for 50 years.
My grandparents bought this new in 1963. My aunt had it for about the last 10 years. She handed it down to me and I picked it up yesterday.
I have the original sales receipt, Window sticker, and all the receipts from the dealership for maintenance over the years.

Beautiful car, Bill. Good to see it stays in the family. Take good care of it. I always have liked the '63's, especially the Polara 500.

Picture of my friend's Canadian-built 1963 Dodge 440 series. We did not have either Polara or Polara 500 in Canada in 1963, so 440 series was our top trim level, and used Polara tail lights. 1963 Canadian B-bodies all used Plymouth dash, as well. I inherited my Dad's 1963 Dodge 440 convertible, back in 1970. I also had a Canadian Dodge 440 4-door hardtop, with Sport Package around that time. That gave it factory bucket seats and glove box between seats, like a U.S. Polara 500. We actually hade a Dodge 220 series in Canada. About the only chrome on them was the door handles.

my grandpa was good about keeping records. Found this book in the console with every tank of gas ever put in the car. I will cary on with doing the same.
Check out the price of a tank of ethol in 1962.

So $.33/gal was for HiTest or was gas just real expensive in that area?
