Dodge Charger
In 1968, muscle car fans were wowed by the fantastic lines of the new Charger. It featured the popular “Coke bottle” styling and a big grille. The car had a muscular shape, recessed rear glass and four round rear lights. In those days of crazy designs and aggressive muscle car styling, the 1968 Charger was in a league of its own. In fact, no other model could compete with this coupe.
Also, the interior was new, featuring full instrumentation and a decent amount of space. Since the 1968 Charger was one of the biggest muscle car coupes ever, the trunk space was generous, as well. Despite the unique design, they based the Charger on the Coronet. However, it gained new engine choices, such as the 440 V8 and one new trim package, the R/T. The R/T or Road and Track package was a popular option.
It included wild graphics, as well as a beefier suspension, and steering. Also, it came with the 440 engine as standard. But if you wanted full power in your 1968 Charger, you would choose the Hemi, which was significantly more expensive. The 1968 Charger proved to be a huge success for Dodge, so they built over 96,000 cars in that year alone.
