1971 Swinger Special 340

Does Crestview Dodge still exist?
The two dealers for '71 Swinger 340 Specials were Crosstown Motors in Edmonton, Alberta (40 units) and Crestview Dodge in Regina, Saskatchewan (25 units for a total of 65) - I have the ads. For 1972, it was Crosstown again and this year, it was Pembina Dodge in Winnipeg, Manitoba that got them (gifts from head office for blowing out a bunch of stock). There is only one documented Pembina Dodge Swinger 340 Special and paperwork doesn't exist anymore, so I don't know the number of Winnipeg cars produced. I talked with the original owner of Pembina Dodge (Ike), while he is very up in age, he did remember 'those little hot rods' but said there weren't very many of them. Looks like there were approximately 50 Crosstown units for '72.

Crestview chrysler still exists. They moved across the street about 10 years ago from where their original building was. They traded with Canadian Tire. They took the Canadian Tire store and Canadian tire knocked down the old dealership and Built a new building. There were quite a few Muscle Cars sold in Saskatchewan during the muscle car era because grain farming was very profitable then. Lots of young kids with money.
