Fifty Years of Charger

[Ghoste]

I'm wondering how many of the big, and small, events will be doing a 50 Years of Charger celebration next year?  I understand Carlisle is going to do it (which means this better be the year I attend) so hopefully Columbus will also.  New Hamburg and CEMA too.

Oh yes Carlisle is doing it...

[Ghoste]

Awesome, well like I said I better try and make it.

CEMA museum is doing something in June.

I made their 40th Charger event so I will have to hit the 50th too.

you would think they would have a picture of a first gen Charger on flyers and info to mark the 50th anniversary

Bryan is the CEMA flyer out yet?  Last I heard they were still getting things together.  I'm planning on making that show.  Their 40th was a good time.

Agree, curious why Carlisle has 3rd Generation Charger.   Any sense as to whether Carlisle will have a special display such as the old dealership to feature the Dodge Charger?

This sounds great. I'm gonna try to go.

Not having a first gen, I thought: 'hey I have to wait', but the 3rd gen in the picture makes it seem inclusive of all chargers.

I think showing a 3rd gen says, we're celebrating 50 years of the Charger name, all cars and years wearing that badge. Otherwise it may be taken as 1st gen focused??? Thinking out loud here.

You are probably right.

that makes no sense....maybe it's just me

Looking at the pics in your sig, I can see why  

But really, the first gen is the only one actually 50 years old. If it was a pic of a second Gen I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

It seems like yesterday when I read this issue of Mopar Muscle..  man time flies!!  I was in High School when I first read the magazine, ended up picking up a copy on Ebay a few years ago.

Exactly. Any other generation pictured has nothing to do with the 50th, and is just lame.

Now, if the title read, "Celebrating 50 Years of Chargers," that would be different. But it doesn't.

Thing is there hasn't been 50 years of Chargers.  That is why we went with 50th anniversary for our shirts and logo this year for the club.
But they're all on there.
But I agree when I saw the ad, why a 72

[Dino]

So we're gonna see a handful of old iron and tons of 2006-2016 Chargers?  That would be sad.

Carlisle is recognizing all Charger years for the event.
From their website:
"Made available for the first time in 1966, the display will actually host Chargers of all years. In addition, there will be a special invitational display focused on the Chargers and you'll see some famous movie and TV cars that are Charger based. These cars MAY include ones from the Dukes of Hazzard, Bullitt, Joe Dirt, Fast and Furious and Dirty Mary Crazy Larry just to name a few. If you're into collectibles, the showcase will include a commemorative design on signage, decals, license plates, etc. and we'll work to have Dodge/Chrysler involved since they are still making the Charger. Who knows, there may even be a 50th Anniversary Charger on display. These cars, by the way, were offered with a 426 Street Hemi, so it's a perfect tie-in to the Street Hemi Reunion (check out the next post to learn more). - See more at: http://www.carlisleevents.com/carlisle-events/carlisle-chrysler-nationals/carlisle-chrysler-nationals-detail.aspx?detailid=1142#sthash.E7j112Xm.dpuf "

I hope I can get My 1966 running next year!

[Ghoste]

Fifty years of the Charger model name is a big deal I think.  It's a good anniversary to be inclusive.

Any guess on what/where the display will be?  Curious if they will use one of the red buildings and dedicate it to the Charger?  Believe they are called Building Y (or T?) or the Pavilion or will they use the old dealership on the edge of the property similar to the hemi engine cars two years ago. 

[Ghoste]

I hope they use one of the larger buildings, maybe an excellent example of each year in the dealership but you can't get as many cars in there.
