The '72 Polara, in my opinion, has the simplest, cleanest design of all of them. This is probably why they were so popular for fleet use.

Doug is keeping an eye out for a C-Body wagon.. Now that would be a great find.. Practical for rescuing Zenith Televisions as well!

Yes, I would enjoy having a C-body wagon! Almost impossible to find a clean survivor today.

Here's a few more C-body photos. The Chicago Police department always used Mopars too. Here's a few Dodge Polara examples in order; '71, '72, and '73. They of course wouldn't be complete without the Motorola Motran UHF transceivers!

I bought a '71 Plymouth Custom Surburban, new in August 1971. It had most of the options except power seats and windows. It just wasn't one of their better efforts. All kinds of pesky little problems, I managed to repair myself. Wasn't a practical car, for mostly city driving, as it had a 383 big block. I drove it for six years and 80K miles and it went to the junk yard. It shot a timing chain and was vandlized, where it was parked.
I replaced it with a base model '74 Plymouth Satellite wagon with 30K miles. That car was totally different! Very little went wrong with it in the 95K miles I put on it myself.
I still have two Mopars, so it didn't sour me too bad.
