1973 Dodge Coronet
The Dodge lineup went through major chassis and interior improvements to reduce noise levels. The Coronet offered the Torsion-Quiet Ride included torsion-bar front suspension and asymmetrical rear leaf springs with Oriflow shocks for a smooth-quiet ride. The Coronet was also becoming known as a Family Car and was a strong competitor with other vehicles in its class. With the Coronet and Coronet Custom, choose between a 225 cid Slant Six and 318 V8. Station wagons were available as 2 or 3 seat models and all came equipped with a 318 cid V8 (optional 40 cid V8 available). Interiors on the Station Wagons were all vinyl.

Paint code plates are located in the engine compartment on the left wheel housing, the fender side shield, or the radiator yoke. "AL" - Acrylic Lacquer |
