The Dodge 330 is a mid-size car marketed by Dodge for the 1962 model year as a trim level above the base Dodge Dart.
For the 1963 and 1964 model years, the 330 was the base trim of the mid-size lineup. It is one of the first unibody vehicles using the B-Body. The 330 series was available as a two-door or four-door sedan as well as a 6- or 9-passenger station wagon body design. Dodge discontinued the 330 model name for the 1964 model year (1965 in Canada).
Design Virgil Exner designed the 1962 models, while Elwood Engel revised the styling for 1963 and 1964.
The cars feature a wheelbase and are long. There was also a higher trimmed 440 and Polara available on the same "standard size" platform.
The base engine was the 225 Slant-Six. The 318 2bbl, 361 2bbl, 383 2bbl, 383 4bbl, and 426 4bbl were optional.
As an intermediate trim level above the Dart, it came standard with a cigarette lighter, front foam cushions, and rear arm rests.
The Dodge 330 Max Wedge is a 330 two-door sedan powered by the 426 Max Wedge featuring dual 4-barrel carburetors and rated at . It was available in both years, as Chrysler intended the engine for use in B-body cars destined for stock car ovals and dragstrips.
For the 1965 model year, full-sized Dodges were built on the new Chrysler C platform with a wheelbase, and the 330, 440, and 880 were all replaced by the new, larger "Polara" series.
For the Canadian market, the 330 was continued for one more year as the base model in the full-size Dodge line using the new-for-1965 body.
