1968-70 Dodge Charger

1969 Charger R/T

For the second time in as many years, Chrysler shocked the world and released a new body style that was praised by the media and the customers. In 1967, Car and Driver said the Barracuda was by far the best looking car out of Detroit that year, in 1968 they said the Charger was even better, and a more visual stunning car then the Barracuda. The body style was based on a series of wedges and it was a fresh new look, and it is still regarded as one of the finest looking cars to come out of Detroit.

The relatively same body style stuck around through 1970, and then changed. In 1969 the Charger 500 was introduced, which had a flush grill, no hidden headlights, and a flush backlite. It was built specifically for NASCAR racing, and was only offered with the 426 Hemi that year. In 1970, one of the most visually striking cars ever was introduced... the Charger Daytona. Which had a pointed nose, a high wing and other cosmetic and performance changes.
