Crown Yellow, Sapphire White and Jewel Black give this Sierra a very different presence from the familiar Chevrolet wagons of the same era. The 315ci Super Red Ram V8 and push-button automatic are the other reasons to look closer. Its houndstooth-pattern interior adds to the period character. This is a selection about mid-century Dodge design and controls, with the odometer treated as exempt rather than a promise of low lifetime use.
