The picture is taken from a weird angle,but it does have the upward curve on the end of the trunk lid like a charger

I am going with a '70 Charger because of the body color tailpanel and trim. I think the shot is taken at a higher point or maybe the car was on an incline. There looks to be a stripe or some shadows on the decklid making it look different too. The rear window trim and recess sure look like Charger pieces to me. Plus, you can almost make out the round remote mirror on the driver door.  

Most of the pics you see look like the one Charger posted with a straight shot from directly behind. This one is just from a different perspective IMO.

The reason I said it looks like an old ford to me is because the trunk lid looks like it has the rounded curve of a late 60's fairlane, torino, or galaxie.

O.K. now I see what I thought was a rounded lip on the trunk edge looks like an R/T stripe to me now.   I just might be leaning towards a charger now. ;D  Maybe it is a Datsun 240Z (just kidding).

Is there some reason you don't trust your mom and your uncle when they tell you she had an R/T?  Shouldn't that end the debate right there, more or less?  Did you show her the picture and ask her about the car or is she no longer with us?  If that's the case, my apolgies for asking.   Take care...

Yea, I'm not understanding why anyone would think that's a Ford product. Nothing else out there has sail panels that are that long. Even a GTO. Look at the sail panel to the right of the woman and baby. If that's not a Charger I don't know what is.

That's what it looks like to me too. :yesnod:
One thing's for sure, it's NO Galaxie. Look at the two ribs on the trunk lid...and in the 2nd pic, the vinyl doesn't wrap around the sail panels like a Charger does...so no check mark trim on these cars.




The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Thanx for the replies. I believe it is a 70 Charger myself. As far as my Mom goes, she said she remembered having an "R/T" of some sort,but couldnt remember what. Shes not much of a car person,and it was 36 years ago.

The more I look at it the more it looks like a Charger. Just not 100% though, probably 95%. I looked through a stack of hundreds of pictures to see if I had a photo from about the same angle of a 68-70 charger but to no avail. But the vinyl makes it appear to be a charger as well as the trunk lock position. The rear window just looks weird from that angle though.

   I don't think it's a Charger guys.....It looks more like a 67 Chevelle or 67 Skylark IMO!

I guess you can make out more detail in that pic of your mom holding you as that deck lid is of the non-stripe variety.
