Default RE: Concept Charger

ORIGINAL: joeyr

very nice, if it the current charger had another name ( i.e. cornet) most people on this site will not dislike the charger.
Let's not besmirch the name of another legendary Dodge. As I've stated previously, it was a TWO-DOOR '68 Coronet R/T 440 Magnum that helped finance my college education -- not to mention my purchase of my '70 Challenger, come to think of it. To me, naming a four-door car after that iconic hardware would be akin to, well, calling a four-door car a Charger. Oh. Yeah. That's been done already.

Also, I read somewhere recently that the Charger was a two-door version of the Coronet. That statement can be summed up in just two letters: B.S.

For anyone who's interested, here's a link to a nice little history of the '60s version of the Coronet:
