Above the Dart Series was the intermediate Coronet, Coronet 440 Series, and Coronet 500 resting on a 117-inch wheelbase and powered by both six- and eight-cylinder engines. The Dart 170 was the 'base' Dart, the Dart 270 was the intermediate trim level, and the Dart GT was the top trim level. It would continue its role as 'compact,' although 'senior compact' is more appropriate given its 4.5-inch additional length and 5.5-inch larger wheelbase than the Lancer, through 1966. When the Dart arrived in 1960, it was a downsized version of Dodge's larger full-size car, but after the compact Lancer was removed from the lineup following the 1962 model year, the Dart became the new compact in the Dodge lineup, although slightly larger than the Lancer it replaced. The Dodge Dart was introduced in 1960, completely restyled in 1962 and given a two-inch shorter wheelbase (at 116-inches), a new convertible body style in 1963, minor trim and styling updates in 1964, and a new grille with a flat grid design in 1965.
