[ramit]

Hmmmmm....looks like a roadrunner to me?

[bull]

That's odd. All he can talk and sing about is Ford and Mercury.

Here's a better picture. Looks like a '68 Charger to me. 1968 for sure, not so sure about it being a Charger but it sure looks like one.

[Brock Samson]

it's a B-Body for sure, nice catch!

[911bear]

   great to see him thinkin  M-O-P-A-R rather than ford or mercury ! thanks for the pic enlargement .

[Brock Samson]

with that clear enlargment i can see a '68 peaked dash pad and a optional sport steering wheel,.. I'll go out on a limb and say '68 Charger.

[hemigeno]

If it has upper door pads, doesn't that = Charger?  IIRC only Chargers had upper door pads like that, and every other B-body had the painted upper door frame...   

The peaked dash pad and door lock indicate '68, and the lack of headrests backs that up also (that alone just means '68 or early '69).

[OldGuy]

Hasn't that guy earned enough money yet to get a new pair of Levi's - or at least patch them   I know it's his trademark - but it is getting old.

[68charger383]

I'm going with RR or GTX, dash bezel looks flat or non rallye cluster style

[Chatt69chgr]

No headrests.  I think they were mandated in 69.

[Rolling_Thunder]

1968 Plymouth GTX.  why?

No Rallye cluster
Upper door pads
No body line down the 1/4 panel - looks like only a curve, not a sharp line

[JimShine]

No headrests.  I think they were mandated in 69.

January 1969. So all 1968 model years and the first 4 or so months of 1969 production fall in the optional period.

I say 1968 due to the lock being on the very end (and chrome, but who knows if its stock), but I can't tell if it has a upper door pad.

[2fast4u]

   In the larger photo you can see the other upper door pad clear which tells me it's a charger and the dash pad says `68 to me as well.

    Heck if ya watch his "Chatahoochee" video he has a 70 Road Runner in it as well, so he must not like just Ford and Mercury!

[Brock Samson]

Besides being a cool Pic, It's the Best Advertisment for a Hardtop I can imagine.. 

[Todd Wilson]

Looks like he is trying to copy Red Kilby!

It's difficult to see that body line looking straight at the side of a black Charger when there are any shadows/reflections around, and I do see upper door pads. Not sure how you can tell if it's got a rally dash.

Not impressed

How about 3x Black 73's ?

My neice and nephew wear jeans like that, and my sister claims they are more expensive to get them with the holes already in them. I told her that I probably had 4 or $500 worth of them in my closet.

I seem to remember Alan Jackson on the Tim Taylor show once with a black car, but I don't remember if it was a Charger or a Merc.

[hemihead]

Def Leppard was wearing those in the 80's , is supposed to be something new ?

[Tilar]

I think the younger generations think if they call them something different, that they are new. 

[PocketThunder]

1968 Plymouth GTX.  why?

No Rallye cluster
Upper door pads
No body line down the 1/4 panel - looks like only a curve, not a sharp line

Shouldnt a 68 GTX have a stripe down the side on the lower portion of the quarterpanel?  Ofcourse, this could have been omitted.  And the GTX has the crease in the quarter panel up higher than a Charger, see picture below.

I vote for 68 Charger.

[TK73]

Dude looks like he should be hangin out of a '73 F-100 POS...

[Mopar2Ya]

My vote is also for '68 Charger, upper door pads & peaked dashpad.

That was an old merc.

At the bottom of this link is another link to Alan's cars and trucks - alll 13.  The B Body was not is his garage and was probably a promotional shot.  I didn't know he was a mechanic in another life.

[sunroofsuperbird]

Quarter window is flater like Charger along bottom. other B Bodys go up a litle. plus door pads say its a charger

[bull]

Sure. I think black looks best on all three Charger generations.

[chargerman68]

yeah the wifes wants it now

[CB]

he looks like he's been into  
and then 

[Bandit72]

alan jackson's been wearing jeans like that since he got started in music....he is a huge car guy in real life so it very well may be his car

[tan top]

  black 68 roadrunner or superbee  ...................

[1969chargerrtse]

Impressed.   

[2fast4u]

  This has become a mystery that needs to be solved. . . it's research time guys!   


2fast

[tan top]

Impressed.   

   

    got the color right     

[Cooperman]

Someone over on the fan board at AlanJackson.com has asked Alan himself to confirm the car used on the cover of 'Good Time'.

They believe it to be a Charger... 

[monoptn]

I'm gonna go with Charger...I think the sharp body line on the satellite quarter panel would be visible, while the charger line is not nearly as sharp.

[suntech]

I am also pretty damn sure it is a Charger. The lines on the rear 1/4 should be visible, if it was a Sattelite!!

[tan top]

yeah i'm going with a  68 charger now also   just  spotted the upper door pad on the passenger side  did not see that yesterday

[COKE]

But Alan Jackson was from Ford to the bone,was not?

[Charger-Bodie]

But Alan Jackson was from Ford to the bone,was not?

I think he was paid ALOT of money to be Ford to the bone!

He may even be a Ford guy, But pretty much everyone likes a Charger.

[chargerboy69]

But Alan Jackson was from Ford to the bone,was not?

I believe on Allpar it says that Alan Jackson owns 2 Vipers. 

[bull]

Toby something (can't recall his last name), another country singer, does a lot of Ford truck commercials too.

[69_500]

Your talking about Big Dogg Daddy,

Toby Keith.
