Dodge Charger

The idea to create it originated with the beginning of the era «muscle car'ov", when in 1964, was released Pontiac GTO, which was an ordinary sedan, equipped with powerful 335-horsepower engine. The model was so much more popular as the other American car manufacturers have decided to create such models. Concept Charger (1965) based on the Dodge Coronet received high ratings, and the car went into a series.

January 1st, 1966 at the annual Rose Bowl Game was first shown to spectators «Dodge Charger» - a new flagship car of Dodge. The main designer of the project was Carl Cameron (Carl «CAM» Cameron). Sales began in mid-1966.

In 1966, the Charger is a feature grille «electric shaver» (English electric shaver - Electric) - used in full hiding lights that Chrysler has not been used since 1942 (on some models of units DeSoto) - when the lights are open or closed grille looks a whole detail.

Dodge Charger 1967

Inside, Dodge Charger has four separate anatomical seats, the console is long from front to rear (Full Console). Rear seats and part of the console can be folded forward, and delete the partition boot back, which allowed to place luggage inside the cabin. Many of the items were exclusive - door panels, instrument panel lights, and others.

All engines have a choice of V8. Six-cylinder engines up to 1968 have been proposed. In 1966 four engines were offered a choice:

361 V8 (5.9 liters) with triple carburettors
383 V8 (6.3 liters) with 325 hp (242 kW) with Quad - the majority of orders in 1966
V8 426 «Street Hemi» (7 l) - a new Chrysler engine with two quad.

At the end of 1966 as a dealer installed option on the boot lid spoiler (due to the rules of participation in NASCAR). In 1966, the Dodge Charger was the first production car in the U.S., equipped with a spoiler.

Spoiler NASCAR in 1966

Total production Dodge Charger in 1966 amounted to 37,344 units.

Despite the fact that the start of sales were in the middle of the 1966 Dodge Charger's debut was very successful.

Despite success in NASCAR in 1966, sales in 1967 declined by half. In 1967 it was sold just 15,788 Dodge Charger - Dodge faced with competition from the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.

In 1968, Dodge has planned restyling of the entire line of models and decided it was time to separate the model «Dodge Coronet» and «Dodge Charger» more. The style of the new Dodge Charger, designed by Richard SIAS (Richard Sias), would later be called "Coke Bottle Style» («Coke bottle styling»), as the profile of the body bends like a bottle of Coca-Cola.

Charger retained its original grille with hidden headlights, but fully rotating headlights with electric have been replaced by a simple rotary actuator with a vacuum, as in «Camaro RS». The interior has remained almost unchanged, tachometer instead of the standard equipment was the option in the boot cover is replaced by a vinyl mat.

In order to further improve the image of the vehicle type «muscle car» added a new option package under the name R / T, which meant «Road / Track» (that is, between the road and track). Index «R / T» was placed only on cars with high power - Dodge Charger R / T engine "440 Magnum» (standard R / T) or "426 Hemi» (optional). At sufficiently heavily loaded rear axle and rear tire width of a large Dodge Charger equipped with the engine "440 Magnum» managed to lift the rear wheels when starting "with two pedals."

Coronet R / T, Dodge Super Bee, Dart GTS and Charger R / T received the "bumblebee stripes" (two thin stripes framing two thick stripes). They could be removed at no cost. These changes proved to be very popular among the population and helped to sell 96,100 in the 1968 Dodge Charger, including more than 17,000 Dodge Charger R / T.

Despite this new engine sales fell again (up to 46 576 units), but it was associated with the release of the Dodge Challenger and high insurance rates.

Jeep part 2

On the hood, rear door and window frames had to be the logo Jeep. However, in the first years of production, the company has conducted trials with the "American Bantam Car" on the right of use of the name Jeep vehicles had to make the logo Willys. But already in 1950 the company has achieved to establish itself as the name, and June 13, 1950 Jeep was registered as a trademark.

In 1946, Willys was the first in the automotive industry, who proposed a kind of vehicle for civilian use. The car had a rear-wheel drive and could accommodate with up to seven people. Speed ​​performance, however, did not shine - 100 km / h And here is presented in four-wheel drive version of 1949, in fact, was the "grandfather" of modern Jeep Grand Cherokee.


In 1953 the firm was acquired by Willys Kaiser-Fraizer, and in 1963 renamed the Kaiser Jeep. Since 1969, the Jeep brand belonged to the group AMC (American Motors Co.), In turn, got in 1987 under the full control group Chrysler. Since 1998, the Department Jeep, specializing in the production of off-road vehicles, is part of a transnational group DaimlerChrysler Corp.

1960 was perhaps the most important in the history of the Jeep: it is the time to shape the market off-road vehicles (SUV). Back in the mid-1950s the company began actively researching and developing new projects with the wheel formula cars 4 × 4. The first fruits of the program has given the fall of 1962, when a whole new Jeep Wagoneer (wagon), is fundamentally different from earlier manufactured. The model belongs to the J-series, and was equipped with a full or partial drive.

In 1954 was born on the fifth version of "civilian Jeep» - CJ5. This all-wheel drive vehicle has been so successful that it stayed on the line, changing, however, engines, suspension and transmission, up to 1983.

In the series "Civil SUVs» - CJ - back in 1949 called stuck Universal («universal») 2/4-dverny Wagoneer with a 2.79-meter wheelbase was the first commercial vehicles with automatic gearbox, design and comfort of a passenger car in which supplemented with off-road performance. The combination of all-wheel drive with a "gun" was used in the industry for the first time. In addition, the engine Wagoneer - «Tornado» - is the only American power unit with overhead camshaft.

In 1963 Wagoneer model received a new 250-hp engine V6 «Vigiliante».

In the late 1960s, engineers have created a series of regular engine "Dontles", now with eight cylinders. It was decided to put on a series of J, to which belonged Wagoneer and Super Wagoneer.

In December of 1965 Jeep dealers put in their own salons Super Wagoneer. Two years later, this series of Jeep began to install automatic transmission "Gidromatik."



Entry into a new "ten-year" marked another change for the Jeep owner. February 5, 1970 American Motor Corporation (AMC) acquired Kaiser Jeep Corporation for $ 70 million. For the Jeep Wagoneer AMC offered the largest in the history of all-wheel drive wagon - V6 with a single camshaft. Options were also the first time in world practice, V8

This design was later refined at the insistence of the army larger firms Willys-Overland and Ford Motor Co., As a result and have received major contracts for the supply of Jeep Willys MB and Ford GPW armies of the United States and its allies. By the end of World War II, were produced 361.4 and 277.9 thousand units., Respectively. Large supplies of the same type of data models were carried out under the "Lend-Lease" and the Soviet Union, which sent more than 51 thousand Willys assembled and disassembled.

Jeep was an informal nickname (it is believed that the name of the brand got off the car Ford GPW in particular because of the phonetic combination of first letters of the abbreviation GP) started at wide appeal of the American journalist Katharine Hiller in the spring of 1941 after testing the car Bantam. It has become a trademark of Willys-Overland in 1945.

After the war, Willys Overland decided to adjust their offspring to perform certain civic functions. Was prepared by the party machines. Just called them - CJ. These prototypes were the basis for a production model, which went on sale in August 1945.

On the hood, rear door and window frames had to be the logo Jeep. However, in the first years of production, the company has conducted trials with the "American Bantam Car" on the right of use of the name Jeep vehicles had to make the logo Willys.

Company history

Chrysler The company was founded June 6, 1924 as a result of the merger, "Maxwell Motors" and "Willys-Overland." The founder is an engineer and businessman, Walter Percy Chrysler. By January 1924 he completed development of the first six-cylinder car, which is released under the Chrysler brand A number of engineering development at an early stage, as the injection of oil into the engine under pressure, carburetor, air filter, make cars Chrysler competitive in the U.S. market. Chrysler also developed a system of safe tires, which in effect was adopted throughout the automotive industry as a standard. After the release in 1926, a cheaper model with the Imperial 4-cylinder engine Chrysler has taken the second place in sales of passenger cars in the U.S. and stayed in the lead the next 10 years. Also, this success has contributed to the purchase of 1928 Dodge brand Chrysler has decided to divide the class of product, price and functionality. Each model in the end became a separate production line and brand. Plymouth was represented by the machine with low prices, which are partly in the manufacture of recycled materials used. The line of de Soto - a mid-range machines. In 1955 Chrysler Imperial former top model has a separate production line and brand. In 1960, Chrysler released a new compact car Valiant, which initially produced a separate brand, but after Plymouth had exhausted themselves, they were united under the name of Plymouth. In the model of Valiant was first used by the generator (it generates an alternating current, in conjunction with diodes for rectification back to DC). Soon all the car companies started to use this technology. So, for '70 the corporation already had six lines of production: Vailant, Dodge, Imperial, DeSoto, Plymouth, Chrysler, and myself. At this time they entered the "Big Three" American auto industry. Due to the large demand for Dodge and increase the production of this line de Soto was no longer relevant. In April of 1964 was represented by the model Plymouth Barracuda, which is a sub-model Valiant. The huge glass rear window and sloping roof made this car special. Barracuda was released almost two weeks before the Ford Mustang, which made the first Barracuda Pony-Car. Despite this, Mustang has surpassed its 10-fold in the period from April 1964 to August 1965. And in the period 1963-1967 Corporation has expanded its scope and the European market. For example, buying 40% stake "Barreiros Diesel", formed the Spanish branch of the "Chrysler Espana." In 1964 bought 30% stake in British motor manufacturer Rootes Group-appeared "Chrysler United the Kingdom." And in 1966-67 bought 80% stake in French company "Simk" and formed the "Chrysler France." In the 70 years the company was Chrysler working very actively: Antitrust laws in the United States were not allowed to unite, as did competitors in Europe and Japan, fuel prices rose, and the engines used it with low efficiency. Therefore, the great demand compact models like Dodge Dart and Plymouth Valiant. The oil crisis of 1973 led to that demand has fallen sharply in the major, not saving fuel cars. But they accounted for most of Chrysler's product range. In the mid-70s for the first time the company produces luxury cars: Chrysler Cordoba, Dodge Aspen and Volare Plymouth. They brought the enormous costs of warranty failures, led the design and poor build quality. In 1978, when Chrysler is close to bankruptcy, loses millions, she invites the legendary top manager, who was sacked from a scandal of Ford's Lee Iacocca. By agreeing to this position, Iacocca starts production Chrysler «Mini-Max", which will bear fruit in 1983 with a successful Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager. After a certain agreements with the banks and Congress, Iacocca conquers time and money to run the first K-Car line, Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant, in 1981. These compact cars were based on designs that Lee offered to Ford and the second rejected them. These machines have become a bestseller and Chrysler regained its image. Chrysler has teamed up with Lamborghini in 1987 and the AMC (American Motors Corporation), which made the brand Jeep. Later, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors and Renault, Chrysler has developed a small fuel-efficient vehicles, and in 1988 the world saw a series of cars, trucks and pickups Eagle.
