      1963 Dodge 880 Convertible
Although the magnificent Dodge Custom 880 Models used a 1962 Chrysler body, enough trim and panel alterations were made on the 1963 models to make them truly individual cars, perhaps the most beautiful of the Custom 880's was the Model 515 convertible. This attractive car sold for $3,251 and weighed 3,770 pounds. The attractive frontal ensemble was all new for 1963 while the rear end of the car was reworked from last year.

 

    1963 Dodge 880 4-Door sedan
T'he relative success of the Custom 880 Series of large luxury Dodges introduced last year to fill a gap left by the death of the DeSoto prompted Dodge to offer the 880 Models in two sub-series lines for 1963. The lowest priced of these large Dodges was the 880 4-door sedan, Model 503. This car cost $2,813 and rode on the long and luxurious 122-inch wheelbase. All 880 Models, whether designated Custom or straight 880's were powered by a large V-8 engine. In the standard 880 Models this motor was the 361 cubic inch V-8 that developed 265 horsepower at 4400 RPM.
