1968 Charger assembly line, Hamtramck. Chrysler Historical photos.

[Magnumcharger]

I made a request through Chrysler Historical to obtain 1968 Charger assembly line pictures.
Some of these shots were previously seen on a thread "Back in the day pictures".
I wanted better copies.
I recieved this today, inkjet prints of the original photos, which I'm certain are of a much better quality.
If you'd like the better images, I'm posting the request form along with these pictures I've scanned and retouched.
I'm sure most of you will find these scans to be more than adequate!

More pics...they included Dart shots too, although I won't be getting those ones reprinted!!

Awsome pics Check out the guy in the third pic. He looks like the driver of the 68 Charger in the movie Bullitt

Just to be clear, on those inkjets, did you pay for those, or are those the no charge photocopies they reference in the letter. 

Did you have to give them negative numbers, or did you just make a general request?

[tan top]

 man they are awesome pictures thanks for sharing 

[Magnumcharger]

These pictures were scanned from the inkjets, which were absolutely free.
To order them, you have to send them the print, or a copy thereof.
I know, it's strange....they should have a negative number.

Do you still go through Daimler? I noticed a Chrysler TV ad and it had no mention of Daimler, I think it was just Chrysler Corp.

Those are some of the coolest pics I've ever seen!  Had to save em' with my other 68' pics!  Thanks for sharing.    Tipopiola

At the time I applied, it was Daimler-Chrysler.
The letterhead on the response letter is still that as well.

I also recieved a brochure for the Walter P. Chrysler Museum as part of the package.

Way cool. I wonder if any of our member's cars are in those pics?

It's interesting in the first 3 pics that the left headlight door is closed. I wonder if that's so they can tell at a glance whether it's an R/T or not?

[Lostsheep]

Thanks those are great pictures.

[Crazy Larry]

Wow!

Those are amazing photos - my charger was built at Hamtramck - it is so great to actually see the exact line where it was born.
Amazing - thank you!!!!!

If they have them from 68, I bet they have something for 69.  Way cool!

[BB1]

I love those 68    akhemmm

[Ghoste]

That's also pretty cool that they just gave you those copies.

[Manfred318]

Wow!!  Cool pics, man

[Crazy Larry]

I love how you can see the tape covering up the bumble bee stripes on the second car in the "charger line1" jpg - with its trunk lid up next to the guy walking - someone ordered an RT.....

To think that this was the American Auto Industry at its finest - really inspiring to catch such a "fly on the wall" glimpse of Hamtramck

[Magnumcharger]

I'm certain that there's photos existing in the Chrysler archive that would cover each year and model line.
I'm also certain that there's lots of shots of sales departments, storage lots, dealerships, design/prototype car pictures and raw artwork and photos for advertisements/promotional purposes.
All that needs to be done here is for an organized effort, where somebody can methodically extract these shots from the archive, scan them, and post the results for everybody's benefit!
Lets hope this will start the ball rolling!

No safety glasses was one of the first things I noticed! Times have certainly changed.

[6pkrunner]

No assembly line images at all. So how about a few jumping Mopars and a trailer towing Chally as an intermission?

[70 Charger RT]
