Dodge Dart Press Releases From Chrysler Corporation

As I have typed these into the computer manually from photocopies, there are probably typographical errors. Please tell me about any typos you find. (Note that the originals contain many errors; spelling mistakes I corrected, but punctuation mistakes I generally left alone.)

These are all of the Dart-related press releases in the National Automotive History Collection at the Detroit Public Library. Seventeen years of public relations information from the source depict more than a changing Dodge Dart. They chronicle changes in Chrysler and in the buying public. I hope you find the information useful.
