I am sure that a member knows the answer to this question. What type of plastic was used to make the hood ornament for the 1965 Dodge Dart? Talking about the cup part that has the silver and white Chrysler star at the bottom. I think that the cup was filled with a clear acrylic, or perhaps...

I have a 1965 Dodge Dart GT that I have been working on and driving for about 18 years now. Last year it began to make a noise that sounded like metal on metal when I would back it up for the first time that I would take it out for a drive. Now it would not make a noise every time which made...

This question has probably been asked before, but I am going to ask again. I have a 1965 Dodge Dart GT hardtop. Am I correct that there is only one place the VIN number on a hardtop is found and that is on the stainless-steel plate located on the left door hinge pillar post?
