To add a personal note to this conversation, the sponsor of the this car as indicated on the flanks was Westlake Dodge. This was a small dealership in Daly City (at the Top of Hill…some may get that reference).
My father bought our 1970 Dodge Polara sedan from that dealership and I can still remember sitting in the backseat of the car with my 2 brothers as he drove it out of the showroom lurching to a stop as he got used to the power brakes. I can still smell the vinyl.
Made me a Mopar man for life.

The dealership became a Pontiac franchise and today is a big box pharmacy.
