Vintage Dodge Dealer Photo – Shelton, Washington 1963

This is a photo of Pauley Motors in Shelton, Washington circa 1963.  Yes they only had this many cars on the lot at one time, not every dealer can be Mr. Norm’s selling hundreds of cars a month! They were a Dodge only dealer until 1972 when they took over the Plymouth franchise from another dealer in town. They closed down the business around 1978 during the Chrysler bankruptcy.

1963 Dodge Dart vs 2013 Dodge Dart

Steve Magnante daily drives a Slant 6 1963 Dodge Dart GT twelve months of the year in Massachusetts. It was originally a California car, so the body is pretty good, though the interior is a bit rough. Steve gives us a quick look at his old Dart in this recent episode from the Dart Road Trip series on the official Dodge Youtube channel. My first car was a Slant 6-powered 1963 Valiant convertible with a pushbutton tranny, so I am a big fan of these old A-bodies. Video after the jump!

Update: this got bid up to $17,099 but reserve not met! I think if I was the seller I would have held, too!
