Leo's car has one obvious styling feature missing - the FINS are gone!! Leo says that the car was delivered new this way - the car has been in his family since 1964, when his grandfather purchased the car from the president of Chrysler-Chile, who was a personal friend - who saw the car when it was delivered new. If the story is true - its quite a strange one - a real anomaly. Now we may have an answer to this strange situation. A friend of mine who is from Chile worked for the Customs Dept. there many years ago and has informed me that there was a very large luxury tax imposed on vehicles with fins, starting in 1959. Sounds reasonable to me!
It is equipped with power steering and brakes and has a
383 engine. Leo is interested in selling this car as well, as his
grandfather can no longer drive. Apparently this is the only
1960 Dodge Polara in Chile.
