Car of the Week: 1968 Dodge Charger
Beautiful new styling characterized the second-generation Chargers, which saw a huge sales boost from 14,980 cars in 1967 to 96,100 new 1968 cars, all of which were two-door hardtops. What made the Charger so popular for '68 was Dodge's introduction of "airplane fuselage" styling that featured a smoother, rounded Coke-bottle-shaped semi-fastback body and wheel bulges. Hidden headlamps were continued into 1968 and a blacked-out grille was used to give a taped-headlamp look of the day's race cars. A race-style gas filler was also added. Scallops in the hood could be optioned with turn indicators, and the doors were also scalloped. There was an integral rear spoiler and a blacked-out rear beauty panel with two round taillights on each side.
