My first and second favorite car was a 1963 Dodge model 440, which was the nearly-chromeless business model of what became the Dart. It had the trademark Dart concave rear window, the Slant Six engine which I will love forever for its reliability, and a second set of pushbuttons like a radio beside the steering column... Except, they weren't a radio, they were the transmission. Alas, the body was rusting out in the footwells and wheel wells, and later a tree blew down and smashed in said concave rear window. It was a car with better than a decade on me, but never gave a bit of mechanical trouble. They truly don't build 'em like that any more, though it's still possible to get a "boxed" slant six for use in project cars.
