Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Dodge Darts are very common on the Alameda street; we've seen a '64 coupe, a '64 wagon , a '69 convertible , another '69 convertible , a '70 sedan , and a '75 Swinger so far, and that's not even counting the Valiant siblings. By comparison, Falcons and Novas...
Apparently shot by Chrysler marketers in the same rock quarry as the Hang 10 Dodge Dart , this photograph of a model in kicky bellbottoms posed next to a 1974 Dodge Sportsman van creates more questions than it answers: Why is she dressed like a Disco Office Cowgirl Quaalude Dealer? Is she going to load a bunch of gravel into that van? If so, why bring the passenger van with windows and upholstery?...
Many years ago, I bought a bunch of used glass 35mm slide mounts at a photography-gear store. Some of them came with transparencies used by Malaise Era Chrysler dealerships, including this classic shot of the 1974 Hang Ten Edition Dodge Dart. See, 1974 was a great car year!

So you’re tired of being the Dark Nerd and want to try your hand at being the Dark Knight. You’ve got your replica bat armor and you’re using an old beat up tool shed for a batcave. But you need a key ring for the keys to the Batmobile. You know, that old dodge dart [...]
Filed under: Motorsports , Coupes , Videos , Chrysler, LLC. , Dodge Those of you steeped in drag racing lore are undoubtedly familiar with the 1968 HEMI-powered Dodge Darts and Plymouth Barracudas. These limited edition, track-bound '68 package cars brought out some of the biggest names in drag racing and helped solidify the automaker as a force to be reckoned with down the 1320. When Dodge unveiled...
We saw another Dart in our "Down On The Street" series just last week , but when have we seen a Dart wagon parked curbside in Alameda? I shot these photographs during a rainstorm over the winter; I'd planned on reshooting the car in brighter light, but I think the car looks more like a tough Detroit survivor- which it most certainly is- in the gloomy lighting and raindrop-blurring of these photos....
For those of you who thought the last '69 Dart GT convertible we saw in this series was just too nice , here's one that's taken a much rougher route during its nearly 40 years. Looks like it already had quite a bit of Bondo-centric rear bodywork when it took some sort of impact above the left rear wheel and went from "slightly rough" to "beater" just like that. Still, it's a convertible and the top...
The '65 Barracuda won our Favorite DOTS Chrysler A-Body Poll back in March, but since that time I've found this '75 Dart Swinger. Would the Swinger, with its name conjuring up images of Malaise Era key parties, have triumphed over the Barracuda? Perhaps I'll have another A-body poll, once we've seen a few more of them; until then, we can only speculate. The Swinger was the name Chrysler put on the...
Is it really possible that it's been two months since our last Mopar A-body in this series? Like air-cooled VWs, Chrysler A-bodies are so plentiful in Alameda that I tend to lose track of when the last time I DOTS-ized one (also like air-cooled VWs, I've owned a few Slant Six A-bodies and feel much affection for them). So here comes a nice solid 4-door Dart, which lives on the same block as the Mercedes-Benz...
Alameda was once the home of the second-biggest Navy base on the West Coast, and as a result we have a few examples of what some locals call “Planes On Sticks” in town. Several are Douglas A-4 Skyhawks; these were the aircraft equivalent of the runs-til-doomsday Slant Six Dodge Dart back in the day and [...]
After two consecutive days of old Junkyard Find Dodges, we might as well see yet another one. It's a sign of how many 60s Chrysler A-bodies were manufactured (and how rugged they were) that you see more of them in the junkyard today than you do, say, 20-year-old Hyundai Excels. This one is a bit [...]
The Auto Ego feature on Jan. 6 about the affection of a retired dentist, Susan Fisher, for her 1969 Dodge Dart misidentified another car she once owned that proved to be a lemon. It was a Plymouth Volaré — not a Valiant, which the Fisher family also owned at one point and said was reliable.
