Mil DEALER HOW TO TELL A DODGE FROM A DODGE STANDARD OR COMPACT, YOU GET A GREAT DEALW1TH For many years identifying a Dodge was no Because there was only one kind. But now there are two. The compact Dodge Lancer, and the full-size Dodge Dart The obvious differences in these cars are size and appearance. Look at the pictures above. Dart is the Dodge on bottom, Lancer is the Dodge on top.

As you can see, Dart is the larger car, outside and inside. However, we feel that mechanically what is good for one size Dodge is equally good for the other, and for you. As a result Dart and Lancer are very much alike under the skin. Both have a unitized body that is rust-proofed to protect your investment. A suspension system called Torsion-Aire that gives a superbly con- trolled ride on any surface.

An alternator that makes a battery last much longer than usual because, unlike a conventional generator, it charges even at idle. And both Dart and Lancer have an optional three-speed pushbutton automatic transmission. Obviously (though our competitors won't admit it) three speeds are always better than two. Another difference between Dart and Lancer is price, of course. Dart is priced model for model with Ford and Chevrolet.

Lancer is priced down the line with Comet, Corvair and Falcon. Now that you know the difference between the two, get to know them better. Compact Dodge Lancer. Full-size Dodge Dart. Your nearest Dodge salesman will be glad to introduce you.
