3. Dodge Matador
As a one-year offering, people soon forgot the Dodge Matador, even though it was popular with consumers. They equipped it with a powerful 361 V8 engine as the standard power plant. The Matador was the base trim level for full-size Dodges. In 1960, the Polara was the upscale model. But if you wanted the bare bones model, the Matador was your best choice.
It came in several body styles including a four-door sedan and a wagon, as well as a two-door coupe and convertible. In just one year, the Matador line sold over 23,000 copies. You could consider that a success, but Dodge decided to retire this model entirely. They retained the Polara as its sole full-size offering. Today, Matadors are rare cars and only true Dodge aficionados know about them.
