I've finally gotten around to finding a good picture of my dad's 1991 Dodge Dynasty LE. It actually didn't belong to him - but was just a company car he used from April 1991 to May 1993. When the lease was over on the Dynasty, he started driving a dark green 1993 Dodge Intrepid. Even as a kid, I liked his Dynasty, but I don't think I realized just how much more I would love it later on. It has undoubtedly become one of my favorite cars. But anyway, below is a picture of the Dynasty we used to drive.

My Collection of Dodge Dynasty Parts
Wow, it's been months since I've updated this blog! I wanted to write more in July, explaining why exactly I like the Dodge Dynasty so much but never got around to it. Even now, I don't feel like explaining it, but I will share something else interesting (maybe). Earlier this year, I went to Pull-A-Part and took different parts from Dodge Dynastys, as it was the best chance I have had to get close to a Dynasty - as well as keep one (or parts of one). I also don't want parts from such a great car to be destroyed forever in the junkyard. So, now I have a fair collection of Dynasty parts - stored in about three boxes in my closet - yes, I'm crazy. Anyway, here are some pictures of the collection of Dynasty parts I have.
I was very fortunate to find a complete set of four Dynasty hubcaps. I've seen other Dynasty hubcaps, but this style is ultimately my favorite. It was what my dad's Dynasty had, and I just find it the most eye-catching and classy-looking. I'm very, very fortunate to have these - and to be able to get them for about $3-4 a piece.
Here's a piece from the dashboard of a 1989 Dynasty (I think). I most like '90s Dynastys, but I got this because it's one complete piece.
Besides the hubcaps, another very eye-catching, distinctive, proud mark of the Dynasty - its grille. Sadly, this isn't such a great picture of it.
Here's an instrument cluster from a 1991 or 1992 Dodge Dynasty.
Here's the dashboard piece and instrument cluster put together.
And here's some Dynasty taillights, headlights, and parking lights.

Here's the headlights and parking lights put next to each other.
Here's a part of the taillight assembly in between the left and right taillights.
Here we have an "open door" light indicator and a Dodge emblem - taken from a late-80s, early-90s Dodge van, actually.
And last but not least, here are two Dodge Dynasty emblems - one of which I removed from the rear part of the cab behind the back seat door, and the other came from the trunk.

Welcome to the Dodge Dynasty Blog!
Hey, everyone. I created this blog because for many years (at least 10 but really as far back as 20), I have had a really great appreciation for one American-made car that not many others do...the Dodge Dynasty.
It might seem strange to like a car with a conservative reputation, but no matter how much I've tried to dislike the Dynasty, there are times I look at it and find it to be the most beautiful, unique, eye-catching car ever made and wish others felt that way. I've pretty much given up on trying to fight my strong like for this model car and have accepted it. This is a part of my personality that will very likely not die. It's stuck with me strongly this long, so chances are, I will always like this car.
The purpose of this blog is to share some of my thoughts about the Dodge Dynasty and maybe various other things relating to it - as well as to show appreciation for a car I felt should have been more well-received. I hope to blog more soon!
