Thanks for posting 

I had to keep reminding myself when reading this article that these guys were writing about the 68 Charger when it was just being released as a new model car from Chrysler.

Boy oh boy if they only knew, they wouldn't be getting an automatic over a four speed Hemi Charger.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

I liked how it was written from a 1960s perspective, lingo, and all.

And they also had foresight to ask for the hood treatment, which arrived in 1969:

We don't care for (and didn't order) optional belt-like stripes around the rear quarters that Dodge is emphasizing this year. Stripes—like fastbacks—are out in any form; matte black anti-glare paint on the hood is in now, and a good design could be worked into the Charger's hood vent sculpturing.

 :2thumbs:I agree with the rest---this is a good find--  Dodge had just hit a home run and this journalist was right on top of it.
