Dodge’s Luxurious Special Car for Women That Few Have Ever Driven

Dodge is best known for muscle cars and aggressive performance, but at one point, the brand took a very different approach. Quietly, Dodge introduced a luxurious special car designed to appeal specifically to women focusing on comfort, design, and everyday usability rather than raw power. The idea was ahead of its time, but the car never gained widespread attention, leaving it as one of the most overlooked and rarely driven vehicles in Dodge’s history.

Dodge La Femme

the mythical one. the pink and white spaceship from the 50s. looks like a car you’d expect to come with perfume samples and a handbag (which it literally did). $3,000-something back then which was kinda expensive at the time, especially for something that came with accessories. I saw pictures once, pastel everything. honestly looks kinda badass now, like retro confidence. but back then people laughed at it. too early for its own good maybe.

Dodge Dart Swinger

don’t laugh at the name. actually, do. I always do. technically not the “woman’s car,” but there was something weirdly elegant about the Swinger trims, soft seats, glittery paint, a bit too flirtatious for its own good. $2,800 new, maybe. now if you find one that isn’t rusted out, you could cruise around smelling like old gas and hairspray, which sounds oddly nice.

Dodge Polara

big boat energy. you could lie down and still have space left. it had that slightly lazy yet confident vibe, like it would tell you “don’t rush.” maybe that’s why some women loved it back in the day. smelled like vinyl and lipstick and cigarette smoke, that 60s mix. I saw one on a farm once, somehow still running. $4,000 new then, which makes it funnier considering people now drop 80 grand on half-electric trucks.

Dodge Aspen SE

this one feels like a disco on wheels. like the kind of car that’d have cheap perfume trapped in the fabric forever. the SE trim even had luxury touches, fake wood, sparkly paint, little details that felt extra. and it was one of those cars that looked better dirty. around $6k in the late 70s, I think. not really fast. but stylish in that I’m here for fun, not the freeway way.

Dodge 400 Convertible

the one that screamed “I just got my life together.” soft, curvy, smelled like wet top fabric when it rained. every time I see a picture, I imagine someone wearing big sunglasses and drinking from a thermos. $9k or so back in the day, which seems wild for what you got, but I love that energy. confident and slightly fragile, just like life.

Dodge Monaco Brougham

fancy name, fancy car. had those long plush seats that felt like couches your grandma covered with plastic. power everything, even the windows made a proud little electric hum. $5,000 maybe, but it looked more. you’d sit in it and instantly straighten your back. women liked the glamour, men liked pretending it was a muscle car. balance.

Dodge Dynasty

ugh. this one was trying too hard to be fancy. like, corporate fancy. not fun fancy. still, some women loved it, especially the ones who didn’t care what people thought. $17k new, I think. smelled like fresh carpet cleaner and your aunt’s floral perfume. not fast, but it had that calm luxury thing going. the kind where you just float down the road humming to yourself.

Dodge Intrepid

this one was sneaky cool. like…it wasn’t exactly luxurious, but there was something about its design, futuristic, almost. $22k new, which feels like a lot for something that now probably sits broken in driveways. I sat in one once that smelled like crayons. the dash kinda melted in the heat. but the woman driving it? totally in control. that car fit her.

Dodge Stealth

okay, hear me out, this one might not have been marketed “for women,” but man, I knew women who drove it like it was therapy. sharp edges, turbo engines, that quiet confidence. it looked expensive, too, $30k at least back then. smelled like plastic and adrenaline. it didn’t shout “luxury,” it whispered “don’t underestimate me.”

Dodge Caliber

oh god, the Caliber. I swear everyone either loved it or hated it. some trims had these surprisingly girlish touches, like rounded interiors and soft colors. $17k or something. kinda shaped like a half-deflated sneaker, not gonna lie. but somehow, it worked. I think people liked how unbothered it was, cheap, kind of weird, unapologetically itself.
