Default A REAL retro Challenger

In case anyone is wondering what Dodge could do to revamp the Challenger when its retro design becomes old-hat, they could simply go to an EARLIER Challenger design. Note the name of the car in small print under the picture.

The original Challenger even offered a convertible model!

Inflation x 78 years = $41,000

Just think Grandpa could have had a Challenger with a six pack and a real shaker hood.

Look at it this way, if it wasnt for that car, we would have todays Challenger! I would love to see the Engineers get that thing up to 150 mph!

I found an actual picture of a 1930 Essex Challenger. Pretty spiffy. Guess the 1970 Dodge Challengers could have had "40th Anniversary" badges.

Somehow I just can't picture this one racing head long into a couple of bulldozers, should they remake Vanishing Point for the third time. Besides, it would probability survive....taking out both the dozers, with it's "real" front bumper.
