Dodge bragged, “Both Polara and Coronet provide the engines, transmissions and rear axle ratios to make it difficult or impossible for another car to outrun a Dodge police car [and] to provide the kind of top-end speed required.”  Many city departments likely chose the economical two-barrel 318 V8, which Dodge claimed was “fully capable of competing with many six-cylinder engines in miles per gallon, while completely outclassing them in performance.” For pursuit, departments would be better off with the 300 horsepower 383, or the 440s; the top-end 370 horsepower 440 had a special cam and higher compression.The standard police upholstery was heavy-duty cloth (gray in Polara and tan in Coronet) and vinyl.
