Over the past few years I have come across some who say the second generation Charger is the Coke bottle one and other articles that claim the third gen is Coke shaped. Or are both?  I kinda see it in my 71 but second gens seem too straight.  And are you supposed to look from the side or top down? Anyone know the real story? Kim

Hi Kim, I've always thought the new for 68 Charger was based on the Coca-Cola bottle and the Third Generation just made it more apparent. Here is a quote about Richard Sias and his GTO inspired design.....What designer Richard Sias came up with was a double-diamond design that would later be referred to as coke bottle styling. From the side profile the curves around the front fenders and rear quarter panels look almost like a Coke bottle. Front and rear end sheet metal was designed by Harvey J Winn. The rear end featured a "kick up" spoiler appearance, inspired by Group 7 racing vehicles. On the roof a "flying buttress" was added to give the rear window area a look similar to that of the 1966-67 Pontiac GTO
Hope this helps...... :2thumbs:

Cheers,

Steve

Okay, take a coke bottle, I sugject a old glass one. take a good look at it. Then tilt your head over and look at a 2nd gen charger. Now pay no attention to the roof of the car but rather just the rear quarter skin line and run you eye up the side following the body line. As your eye goes up and down over the rear skin that would be like the first part of the coke bottle (buttom part) and as your eye runs across the center part of the charger over the door area you will see to body lines here kinda over laping (this would be the center top part of the coke bottle. Now as your eye runs up the door top panel line and starts out into the front fender of the charger you are now at the top part of the coke bottle almost, as your passest the hump in the fender this would be the hump part of the coke bottle top part. and as your eye comes to the front of the front fender edge you eye are now really and kinda at the top part of the coke bottle.  :icon_smile_wink:    

You see, when you really really look at the coke bottle and then look at the 2nd gen charger, you can really see the coke bottle design in it alot  :lol:

Look at a 2nd gen from above - it's real easy to see the coke bottle shape. The reference came about with the 68 models.

That's 59 seconds of your life you won't get back.  :rofl:  "It's the real thing" refers to the '68 in my post. That is all.

:scratchchin: But I always thought the assembled crowd at the end of the clip resembled the arrow-like "dart" symbol the Charger used....  :Twocents:   :icon_smile_wink:
