Another typical advertisement for the 1965 Dodge Dart, again for a 2-door coupe. This ad reads:

If you're looking for a swinging compact, look above. This bucket-seat beauty has just what you go for . . . including "Go"! With standard Six or optional Six, standard V8 or optional V8, this trim, taut toughy moves you in style. But the Dodge Dart GT hardtop, shown, is just one of the 10 new, exciting Dart models for 1965. Again this year, you'll find that Dart carries on as the fun-loving, family-size compact. All are bigger and better-looking outside. Plenty of room and comfort inside. Big and bold under the hood. Dart handling is light and lively, easy as pie. With low-friction steering, a nifty 111-inch wheelbase and smooth torsion-bar suspension, it couldn't be anything else. So with all this room, ride and comfort, why do we call it a compact? The price, that's compact.

Here we see an aggressive view of the left-front clip of the 1965 Dodge Dart GT convertible the author was privileged enough to drive recently. In Looking Forward to the Past in a Dodge Dart we wondered if the new model 2013 Dart will match this classic for love of the road.
