    The Dodge Division of Chrysler Corporation has added a new lower-priced
    series called Dodge Dart to its 1960 model line-up. The new models are
    set on the 118-inch wheelbase Plymouth frame but with an individual
    styling concept marked by long and graceful lines and a less pronounced
    fin than the bigger 126-inch wheelbase Dodges.

    The Dart series - Seneca, Pioneer and Phoenix - will be priced in
    competition with Plymouth, Ford and Chevrolet. The Phoenix models will
    come only with V-8 engines, the two others will have six-cylinder power
    plants as standard equipment with V-8 engines optional.

    The addition of the Dart gives Chrysler two standard-sized entrants in
    the lowest segment of the medium-priced field and has stirred
    speculation that the bigger Dodges or even Plymouths might be radically
    altered in appearance next year, perhaps emerging as luxury types of
    small cars.

    The familiar Dodge line continues the fin-on-fin treatment of former
    years and will be available in eleven models, all with V-8 engines. The
    Dart series has twenty models.

    The cars, which will be in dealer showrooms on Wednesday, include a
    complete range of two-sear station wagons. Three-seat wagons will be
    available in the Pioneer model and in both of the big Dodge series -
    the Matador and the Polara.
