The Chrysler Corporation reintroduced its legendary 426 Hemi engine for 1966 as an option on selected Plymouth and Dodge models. The iconic power plant was an option on the Coronet and technically came with any body style. However, buyers associated Hemi power with two-door coupes or convertibles, and most people needed to realize that they could have Hemi in a sedan or even wagon form (via Auto Evolution).

That’s why only a few people bought the Coronet De Luxe Hemi four-door in 1966, getting the ultimate muscle car sedan. With the advertised 425 HP under the driver’s foot, the Coronet Hemi four-door was arguably the fastest production sedan in America and the ultimate four-door muscle car.
