I learned to drive on the old-lady econo version of the 1968 Dart:
Four Door Sedan Medium Blue
225 Slant-Six
Three on the Tree manual transmission
Manual wiper washer control on the floor, next to the high beam switch
Manual steering and brakes
No cigar lighter option
Wonderful vinyl bench seats
Rubber flooring instead of carpet
AM radio with great reception
Great car!

Spencer Tracy drove a Dodge Dart both as a big city newspaper publisher in “Guess Who’s Coming for Dinner?” and as a police detective in “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”.

Mike Connors (born Krekor Ohanian) grew up in Fresno and died in 2017 of Leukemia. He and his wife were married for 67 years.
He was a lifelong conservative Republican who actively campaigned for Ronald Reagan in both presidential and gubernatorial elections.
After Mannix ended in 1975, he was on 4 Love Boat episodes, 4 War and Remembrance episodes, 3 Murder She Wrote episodes, a Diagnosis Murder, and a Walker Texas Ranger.
