[7] In addition, variants of the slightly longer U.S. station wagon were sold from the beginning for duty as hearses.

Eventually, these were modified with two doors and oversized rear quarter windows, in the British hearse tradition.

Although the 1965 and later Phoenixes were basically Plymouth Furys, they did feature the North American style full size Dodge Polara instrument panel (adapted for right hand drive).

The PD4 Phoenix was offered only as a 4-door sedan, in two trim levels, the De Luxe and the Luxury Liner.

[10] Dimensions remained unchanged, as did the mechanical specifications,[10] again being based in the North American Dodge Dart.

[11] This model was a rebadged Canadian Plymouth Fury III,[10] a strategy that Chrysler Australia would continue through to the end of 1972.

In the later part of 1967 Chrysler Australia shifted Phoenix assembly from Tonsley Park to its Port Melbourne facility.

[10] Round side marker lights were introduced, the same ones used on the North American Plymouth Fury.

[10] It was marketed as the 400 Limited Edition series with each car carrying a numbered dashboard badge.

Again it was marketed as the Phoenix 400 with sedans and hardtops carrying individually numbered dash plaques.

[13] A decision to close the outdated Port Melbourne facility led to the discontinuation of the Phoenix.
