1966 Dodge Charger
Sharing the B-body platform with the Coronet, the Charger's long body rode on a 117-inch wheelbase. Front sheet metal resembled the Coronet slightly, but the Charger's grille was wider, smoother, and featured fully rotating, electrically-operated retractable headlights. Helping the 3,600 pound car look sporty was the wide fastback which stretched all the way to the rear bumper. Chrome block letters spaced across the tail-lights spelled "CHARGER".
A two-barrel, 230-horsepower 318-cid engine was standard, optional were a 265-bhp 361 motor, 325-bhp 383 engine, and a street version of Chrysler's 426 Hemi engine.
