I never see much about Lancer's so, here goes. My dad sold Dodge's starting in 45. As a teen I learned how to drive in a new 61 blue 4dr 770 floor 3 spd. Another demonstrator my dad had was a green auto wagon.The first car I got to use was a black 61 4dr Lancer 170 3spd. It seems they are the lowest rated or best kept secret of Mopar. I remember they were a great seller,at least in our town, probably because of body style of the 61 Darts. I remeber the Lancers were really good cars.
