Dodge Charger

The Dodge Charger has a long history of performance vehicles - from the 1966 to 1974 B-body models to the 1975 to 1978 models based on the Chrysler Cordoba. The iconic 1966 model was designed by Carl "CAM'" Cameron and made quite an impression when it was first shown to the viewers of the Rose Bowl on January 1st 1966. The 1966 Charger was unlike any other car with its electric-shaver grille, four individual bucket seats with a console running the length of the interior, and exclusive door panels and courtesy lights. Even the instrument panel was beyond ordinary with electroluminescent dash pods inside the four main gauges. At the rear, the full-length tail light featured the word “CHARGER”. Engine wise, the 1966 Charger was only available with V8s, ranging from the 318 in³ 2-barrel to the 426 Street Hemi. Most owners opted for a 325-hp 383 4-barrel. Over 37,000 Chargers were produced in this inaugural year. The 1966 Charger was an ambitious project for Dodge, but their hopes were dampened when the cars showed signs of lift around the corners, caused by air travelling faster over the top of the car than under it. To solve the problem, Dodge outfitted the Charger with a trunk lip spoiler, an aerodynamic feature that improved traction at high speeds. This made the 1966 Charger the first U.S. production vehicle with a spoiler. David Pearson also had success with this model, as he drove a #6 Cotten Owens-prepared Charger to win the NASCAR Grand National championship of 1966 with fourteen first-place finishes.
