The Coronet is an automobile that was marketed by Dodge as a full-size car in the 1950s initially the division's highest trim line but starting in 1955 the lowest trim line. From the 1965 to 1975 model years the name was on intermediate-sized models. A coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring. The Coronet reappeared for the 1965 model year as the intermediate sized B-body using a 117-inch wheelbase. For 1965 Dodge sold slightly over 209000 units making the Coronet ...the most popular model sold by Dodge that year. Trim levels initially were base Coronet including a Deluxe version Coronet 440 and Coronet 500. The base Coronet and Deluxe were available as two-door sedans four-door sedans and station wagons. For 1965 only Dodge also sold only 101 units of a modified wheelbase version of the base Coronet two-door sedan and 440 hardtop used for NHRA drag racing. The model known as A990 came with a racing version of the 426 Hemi engine. The car A990 was stripped of all features and included base bucket seats from Dodge's truck-van line of vehicles. The altered wheelbase eventually became commonly known as Funny Cars because of their stretched front clips.
