Dodge Magnum
The model name, Magnum, might sound familiar since Dodge used it in a successful line of station wagons from 2005 to 2008. However, the Magnum dates as far back as 1978. The original Dodge Magnum was a luxury muscle car coupe Dodge produced in 1978 and 1979 for two years (via Hemmings).
For the time being, it was a cool-looking coupe with all the right ingredients. It had rear-wheel drive, a long hood, a short deck, and a heart-thumping V8 in the front. The biggest engine Dodge could order was a 5.9-liter V8 with 195 hp. With its big weight, slow automatic transmission, and low power, the Magnum delivered pathetic performance numbers. Also, its high price tag didn’t help sales. Dodge discontinued the Magnum for the 1980 model year.
