A dutch bank is advertising with a winter check. They used a classic car in the background. At first I thought 2nd gen Charger, but now I am not too sure anymore. What do you guys think it is?

It is a 1st gen charger, some owners have removed the chrome trim on the 1st gens.

I will take a pic of my 1st gen at the same angle tomorrow. ;D

true....    they came to a slight point at the bottom..   they werent strait across like in the pic. ---  however from that angle it is hard to tell...     possibly a second gen cuda...    notice the rear seat area is flat...   not like a 1st gen charger....

I don't see first gen either.  If I remember right, the rear window in the first gen is flat in the center with up turned outter side edges.  Also, if I remember right, the header panel below the rear window where the trunk panel closes, it thicker.  I want to say three inches or more from window to trunk panel. 

I am sure that someone with a first gen could look and tell us for sure, It has been years since I've driven one, and a whole bunch longer since I was in the back seat of one.

Definitely NOT a 1st gen Charger.  The back window is the giveaway.  Are you certain it's a Mopar?  What about an AMC Marlin?

Man, that is a barracuda fastback.  ::)

Wow what a responce ;D I figured it wasn't a 2nd gen Charger. But couldn't put my finger on what else it was. Thanks guys. It's cool that Mopars are gaining popularity overhere as well. You see them more and more often.

It's a '67 to '69 Barracuda fastback for sure, I had one. "A" the rear part of the door where the locking button is, has a much steeper angle from the top moulding to the break in the top of the door. "B" the rear window curve & interior trim are unique, I still have these parts. "C" the roof line has a slight curve instead of an angle like the B-Bodies. I just can't recall if the lock button location differs from one year to the next like it does on the '68 to '69 Chargers.

(Here's a nice one on ebay with lots of pix)
