When I was looking for a '61 Pioneer 2-door coupe 6 years ago none were available, I saw 2 on eBay Motors but they had no drivetrain, settled on a '61 Dodge Seneca 2-door sedan instead with a slant-6, 3-on-the-tree, radio delete, one-speed wiper, in white and the same interior. ...and I do remember seeing this car for sale back then.
The video from 7 years ago in the parking lot shows this, same license plate, with Pioneer script on the fins, but now it just has Dart. What's going on? I know the Phoenix was top of the line (spare tire bubble on the trunk), and then the Pioneer, and then the Seneca. All were Darts, right?
First of all NO '61 Dodges had the spare tire (toilet seat) deck lid. The Dart emblems you see are factory prototypes I found on Ebay. The Dart emblems appeared in advertisement early in 1960. But were replaced by either Seneca, Pioneer and Phoenix when released to the public. Good eye.
