The Dodge St. Regis was a full-sized 4-door automobile that was built by Dodge from 1979 to 1981. The Dodge St. Regis was only available in a notchback sedan.
The St. Regis was based on Chrysler's rear wheel drive R-body platform, itself based on a modified version of the circa 1971 B-body design that provided the foundation for such cars as the Dodge Charger and the Chrysler Cordoba. Available engines included the 225 in³ (3.7 L) straight-6, the 318 in³ (5.2 L), and the 360 in³ (5.9 L) V8s.
"St. Regis" was originally an uplevel trim package on the 1956 New Yorker hardtop coupe, and again on the 1974–78 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham coupe.
Offered only as a four-door notchback sedan, the St. Regis was differentiated from its sister models, the Plymouth Gran Fury, Chrysler Newport, and Chrysler New Yorker by retractable, transparent plastic headlight covers (introduced a year earlier on the 1978 Dodge Magnum).
