Dodge 1971 Coronet


DODGE CORONET CUSTOM 4-DOOR SEDAN —The Custom is just one of the members of the Coronet family of four-door sedans. 1971 Coronet — the car that was built from the ground up as a four-door sedan. The Coronet Custom is a little nicer, a little richer . . . with simulated wood-grained instrument panel and door trim, color-keyed carpeting and color-keyed steering wheel. And yet the Coronet Custom carries a low price tag.
