Default Old Mopar Body Types

What is amazing are the very different body types for all of the different cars back in the day.

A- Were typically compact cars like the Duster, Demon, Scamp
B- Were bigger cars like the Road Runner, Charger,, Coronet, Superbird, and Satellite
C- Were the oceanliners of cars like the Fury, Monaco, Polara, Newport
E- These broke the mold and were the smaller body types for our favorites the Challenger and Barracuda
